Understanding the Tags

10 28800 0 5 -1 -1 100

Key Attributes

  • Nominal: The "Target" amount. Server tries to spawn this many.
  • Min: The "Floor". If the count drops below this, the server queues respawns instantly.
  • Lifetime: Time (in seconds) the item stays on the ground before deleting. 28800 = 8 hours.
  • Flags:
    • count_in_map: 1 = Count items sitting on floor.
    • count_in_hoarder: 1 = Count items stored in tents/barrels (VERY DANGEROUS for rare loot).
    • count_in_player: 1 = Count items in player inventories.

Warning: Setting count_in_hoarder="1" for M4s means if players hoard 10 M4s in tents, NO NEW M4s WILL SPAWN on the map.
