Not without having a context in which this is used.

I'm trying to spawn an Imp at a specific point on the map. For testing purposes, the script is type ENTER, and it just consist of above line of code, so all that should happen is spawn an imp at 200.0:200.0 when the player enters. Of course, this does not work for me.

script 101 ENTER
{
Spawn( "DoomImp" ,
200.0 ,
200.0 ,
0.0 , 0 , 0 ) ;
}

What about placing a map spot at the desired location in the map itself, and trying this?

thing_spawn(mapspottid,T_IMP,0,0);

The example I posted is just for testing. I want to do something more complex, and it cant be with things. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Are you sure that the point (200,200) isn't in void?

Yes, I checked.

My best guess is that the coordinates are not in the correct format. They are supposed to be float fixed point numbers are they not? I'm uncertain as to what a map coordinate is: an integer or a fixed point. An any case, i tried converting between the two w/o any luck.

The examples that utilizes spawn() usually use GetActor[XYZ](), and those return a fixed point value. I used a HUD script to verify this.

Yeah that was it. I couldn't figure it out until I found that the floor was higher than 0. Thanks. Boy was that frustrating.

Purely out of interest, why are you using spawn instead of spawnspot?
