Description

Creates a temporary character of the root template defined by _TemplateId (in a <root template name>_<root template UUID> format) at the nearest position to the coordinates given by _X, _Y, _Z which is out of sight for all players. The character is returned as _Created, and _Event is thrown when it appears. If _PlaySpawn is 1, the creature will play its spawn animation as it appears. A temporary character's corpse is not saved. This call is useful to avoid very large save file sizes if it is used to spawn very large numbers of characters.

Return Values
  • Success/Failure: Fails if _TemplateID is not a character template, does not exist, or if the template is not a ghost template and no valid AI-grid position can be found within 5 metres of the specified position.
  • _Created: The character created.
