- This script simply fills in a floating point array with random origins for player spawns. The player spawns are all tested to be assured that the spawns are valid (inside of the map). This process takes a while and test results for some maps on my home PC are listed below.
- This process is meant to be run simply once per map which means whoever uses this script should create a way to save and load the origins.
- An example of how this script can be used is attached (it is fully functional and requires AMXX 1.8+ (Ham Sandwich)).
- A test plugin that I used to test the methods and bad spawns is also attached.
- This can also be used to create random power-up/item/rune/etc. spawn locations (Change min/max size in .inc file)

- #1 - Normal - Searches 2,500,000,000 units3 with a 60 second timeout
- #2 - Extensive - Searches 16,000,000,000 units3 with a 120 second timeout
- #3 - Exhaustive - Searches 24,000,000,000 units3 with a 300 second timeout
- Normal works for most maps yet sometimes Extensive can give better results. Exhaustive seems to give the best results however it takes on average 2-3 times longer than Normal.
