| Spawns | Spawns are the spawnpoints that AI will spawn at at the start of a wave. These GameObjects can be a child of the wavespawner, with no script required except to be referenced here. It is recommended to place these gameobjects as low to the ground as possible. The blue arrow / Z Axis points forward, as well as green arrow pointing upwards. Ensure that these gameobjects are not tilted on the Y or X axis as this can cause issues. |
