I was looking at the script code and added the following for spawning aliens:
			Case "createalien"
				Select si\param
					Case "alien":SpawnAlien(x,y,-1,STANDARD_ALIEN)
					Case "hugger":SpawnAlien(x,y,-1,FACE_HUGGER_ALIEN)
				End Select


and add this to the test.obj:

18
1
Spawn (Alien)
createalien(alien)|remove(me)
19
1
Spawn (Hugger)
createalien(hugger)|remove(me)

I would imagine a couple of 'invisible' tiles would be added to the objects as triggers (just knocked up a couple of temp ones myself).


Couple of questions come from this?

* best way to determine x,y location to 'create' alien? specific spawn location, random ??
* alien ID - should we track this as part of the SpawnAlien process? ie. global counter
* spawning a number of aliens at once?

You have done a great job with this Mark!
