NWScript:

//:://////////////////////////////////////////////////
//:: Summon Creature Trap Script
//::
//:: This is a fancy / dramatic effect to gate in a monster as a result
//:: of some PC action.  The most typical usage would be used in the 
//:: OnTriggered event of a trap. It could also be used in the OnEnter 
//:: event of a generic trigger if it is your desire to always summon 
//:: a creature when the PC passes through a location. 
//:: 
//:: To function the script requires a way point be placed to determine
//:: the summoning location.  If you wish to summon custom creatures they
//:: will also need to be placed on the pallet and their blueprint IDs
//:: noted.
