Object Spawning/Creation

[oldmanofmen]

Hi,

I've been looking into the spawning of game objects client side recently however I haven't actually managed to spawn any objects yet and was wondering if anyone who has done this before could help me out... The question I'd like answered is 'Is the spawning of game objects client side as simple as a function call or is it slightly more complex than that?'

I'd take a look at how the client deals with the view distance, and whenever an NPC gets "streamed in". You can probably find out how it adds a NPC visually there.

Find the gameobject spawn packet handler and start reversing.
