I have a couple questions about script objects when mapping and the differences between using a script_origin or a script_struct in your map? Currently, I spawn structs for fx, and use them for end game cameras and other stuff, and I have used origins for moving things in the map.

• What are the benefits or drawbacks of either, if there is a difference?
• Does either one count towards any limit? If so, how does it count in comparison to using a script_model?
• Is it better to spawn the object when needed as opposed to having it in the map already?

as for the struct stuff. as far as i know origins take one place in the g_spawn limit and can be grabbed by script using getent() while structs have to be called using getstruct() and they dont count toward the limit.

1. i dont understand question sorry :s
2-3. script models also use space from the entity limit as origins(which cause g_spawn error) and no, just spawn things through script when its really needed cause if you dont need to spawn a model which will be static just put a misc model which doesnt go toward the entity count and about origins always use structs already placed in map and dont spawn them. although some tuts are made to work with origins(as bam's for example) youll be forced o use origins unless you can modify the script to use structs
