 ========== How to Make a TTT Map ==========
-Whether you are starting a new level or adding support for an existing map making it game ready is pretty simple. All that is required are **weapon placements** and **spawnpoints**. The rest of entities are optional ([[Advanced Entities Explanation]]).

-It is **HIGHLY** recommended you place down as many spawns as you can so larger population servers don't run into issues. **A good rule of thumb is to aim for 32 spawnpoints**, that is usually what bigger servers cap their player slots at.

 ======== Weapon Placements ========

 There a few ways to do weapon placements on your map. You can either do random placements with **ttt_weapon_random**, **ttt_grenade_random**, and **ttt_ammo_random** or do hand placements of each gun. You can also do a bit of both.
-=====ttt_weapon_random=====
+=====Random Weapon Spawner=====
+The easiest and most versatile method for gun placements is using **Random Weapon Spawner.** This gameobject will choose a random weapon from the list of regular terrorist weapons. To use, simply place in hammer where you want the weapon to spawn. It has a big bounding that marks where weapons could possibly spawn with a revolving preview. The preview will show how each weapon and ammo box will spawn with your settings. **If the bounding box is not inside of something the weapon will have no issue spawning where you placed it.**

+You can determine how many ammo boxes spawn with the weapon. To do this go into the Object Properties in hammer and change the number for the "Ammo to Spawn". **If you do not change the ammo amount gun will spawn with no ammo.**

+The "Start Asleep" option will force the object to spawn static until it is damaged or interacted with by a player if checked.

 =====Hand Placements=====
-If you want a consistent spawn for a certain weapon, you can use the gun entities and manually place them. To find the weapon entity names select the entities tool for the game and type in, "weapons" in the search bar.

 Each weapon and ammo type has its own world model when you place it, this will show you exactly where it will spawn. Just simply place them where you want them to appear. You should put the correct ammo type near each weapon if you want them to have ammo, how much is up to preference.
