I'm making a wad and I'm just wondering if you can use the thing_spawn to spawn a friendly monster. Making the map spot friendly doesn't work, and I don't know if there is any other way of getting a monster in. Help?

make a decorate monster with the FRIENDLY flag
eg.

code:
actor DoomImp_Friendly : DoomImp
{
SpawnNum // Put the number (type) for thing_spawn here (eg. SpawnNum 90)
+FRIENDLY
}

if you get an error about spawnnum unknown it's probably SpawnID, not sure

OR

put a monster with the friendly flag in the map, then use thing_move to put it somewhere

Thing_Spawn doesn't work for Decorate Actors. You have to use SpawnSpot("ActorName", args ect);

No, you're wrong, thing_spawn DOES work for decorate actors. The reason for spawn is because things from different games have conflicting numbers.
Try SpawnID instead of spawnnum.

SpawnSpot's better anyway. Using Thing_Spawn is messy, to say the least.

Ok, where's your working example? A lot of people would like to know over at the Zdoom.org forums.

The ZDoom wiki states:

* SPAWNID value

Defines the spawn ID to be used with Thing_Spawn and its derivates.

That's not what I meant by working example. This is why I thought you couldn't use it, after trying. Not just me, it's been a problem for a lot of people.

And this kind of thing is why Eternity treats all actor types in a uniform manner.

ACTOR ScaleCaco : Cacodemon 20654
{
Scale 0.9
SpawnId 238
}

Now eat those words.
Check out a working demo here, notice the breaking glass effect on map02.
