Spawner

Remarks

⚠ It says what to spawn and never where. Placing something needs the scene and a navigation mesh, and a spawner that owned those would be a second one — the boundary every library in this framework sits on.

⚠ A respawn timer starts when something dies, not on the tick that notices. A server that fell behind would otherwise repopulate faster than one that did not, which is a difference players feel and nobody can explain.

⚠ The cap counts what is alive, not what has been spawned. Counting spawns makes a camp that has been cleared twice permanently empty.
