NWScript:

// Directions:
// Begin by attaching the script to any objects heartbeat.  Then set the
// preferences.  After the preferences have been set, you need to make the
// templates.  The templates tell the script the objects chance of being spawned
// and the blueprint of the object.  You MUST make sure the percentages add up
// to 100.
//
// Preferences:
//    SpawnTime 6:
//      -The spawn time is the time you want to wait between each spawn, it is
//       rounded off to the nearest number divisable by 6 because of the heartbeat.
//    SpawnAreaHeight 10:
//      -The spawn area height sets the distance on the Y axis for the spawn area.
//    SpawnAreaWidth 10:
//      -The spawn area width sets the distance on the X axis for the spawn area.
//    FlagName TestSpawn:
//      -The flag name is used by the script to identify objects spawned by this
//       script. Each script needs a UNIQUE name.
//    MaxNumObjects 5:
//      -This sets the maximum number of objects per spawn, if you dont want a
//       range of objects set both max and min to the same number.
//    MinNumObjects 1:
//      -This sets the minimum number of objects per spawn.
//    MaxTotalObjects -1:
//      -This sets the total number of objects to spawn ever -1 is spawn indefinely.
//    ObjectType OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE
//      -This sets the type of objects you are spawning.  There can only be ONE
//       type of object per script trying to spawn items and creatures with ONE
//       script will cause problems.
//    Target OBJECT_SELF:
//      -This specifies the target for the spawn, usually you want the spawn to
//       occur around the object with the script attached to it, but sometimes
//       you may want to spawn around an item with a HeartBeat that is being used
//       for something else. Or you may want to say have items and monsters spawn
//       around the same object, so you make two waypoints/objects attach this
//       script and give them both the same target. Note that the target must be
//       in the same area as the objects with the scripts attached.
//
// Templates:
//    NumberOfTemplates 2:
//      -This number tells the script how many templates you have. It MUST match
//       the number of templates below.
//    Template1 50_NW_DOG:
//      -(XX_BLUEPRINT)
//       The first two numbers are the percentage change of spawning this object.
//       The rest of the template is the blueprint of the object.  Templates must
//       be made in consecutive order as in, Template1, Template2, Template3 ect.
//       The percentages of the templates MUST add up to 100. If you only want to
//       spawn one object with a 100 percent chance of spawn you must make 2
//       identical templates because the percentage can only be 2 digits.  There
//       is also a limit of 100 templates.
//
// Object Conditions and Actions:
//    Conditions:
//      -This specifies which conditions you want the script to spawn under.
//       The script will only spawn when these conditions are true and will destroy
//       all objects that it has made when these conditions are no longer true.
//       If you want the spawn to occur always, just comment out the
//       iCondition = FakeConditio(); line (note: // is how to comment).  This
//       condition line can be very powerful.  It makes it possible to only
//       spawn durring the day, when players are near, when a quest is completed,
//       or all three of these combined.  As long as the conditions you check
//       are TRUE and FALSE they can be made to work.
//    Actions:
//      -This allows you to specify a series of actions for the objects to do
//       immidiately after they have been spawned. This also allows for some neat
//       options.  You could have the objects spawned from a head monster and
//       just after spawn tell them to follow or guard the monster.  You could
//       simulate a battle by seting factions and telling them to attack eachother.
//
//      Whatever you do, have fun with it =) If you find a bug or something
//      you think I should add PM it to Enthas or post on biowares scripting forum.

// Directions:
// Begin by attaching the script to any objects heartbeat.  Then set the
// preferences.  After the preferences have been set, you need to make the
// templates.  The templates tell the script the objects chance of being spawned
// and the blueprint of the object.  You MUST make sure the percentages add up
// to 100.
//
// Preferences:
//    SpawnTime 6:
//      -The spawn time is the time you want to wait between each spawn, it is
//       rounded off to the nearest number divisable by 6 because of the heartbeat.
//    SpawnAreaHeight 10:
//      -The spawn area height sets the distance on the Y axis for the spawn area.
//    SpawnAreaWidth 10:
//      -The spawn area width sets the distance on the X axis for the spawn area.
//    FlagName TestSpawn:
//      -The flag name is used by the script to identify objects spawned by this

//    MaxNumObjects 5:

//      -This sets the total number of objects to spawn ever -1 is spawn indefinely.
//    ObjectType OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE
//      -This sets the type of objects you are spawning.  There can only be ONE
//       type of object per script trying to spawn items and creatures with ONE
//       script will cause problems.
//    Target OBJECT_SELF:
//      -This specifies the target for the spawn, usually you want the spawn to

//
// Object Conditions and Actions:
//    Conditions:
//      -This specifies which conditions you want the script to spawn under.
//       The script will only spawn when these conditions are true and will destroy
//       all objects that it has made when these conditions are no longer true.
//       If you want the spawn to occur always, just comment out the
