The object boundary must intersect the nav mesh, to see the Nav Mesh data toggle the *Nav Mesh Visualization* to ON in the **Tool Settings** menu. Up to 32 AI units and 4 Phantoms can exist at a time, but runtime budgets may decrease this limit. ## Remarks This is comparable to the spawning of a player in how the units are produced. ### Object Properties #### Unit 1 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Unit 2 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Unit 3 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Unit 4 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Unit 5 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Unit 6 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Unit 7 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Unit 8 Selection | Property | Description | | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Unit | The AI unit to spawn in this slot. | | Weapon | The weapon that will be used by the AI unit in this slot. | #### Spawn Logic | Property | Description | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Face Forwards | If enabled, the spawned AI units will face the same direction as the spawner object. | | Triggered by Script | If enabled, the spawner will not automatically spawn AI units and will instead wait for a script call to activate it. | | Initial Spawn Delay | The number of seconds into the round before the AI units spawn.
