In game or in Hammer editor?
If the latter, then create an entity, and give it the class "monster_*".
Replace the * with the monster that you want, they will appear in a list.
To place weapons and ammo, create an weapon_* entity, and I believe ammo is item_ammo_*
Again, replace the asterisks with whatever type you want it to be.
If this is an in-game question, you'll have to wait for a reply from somebody else.
I hope this helps.

He asks how to spawn monsters more than one time in the same area. (I know him)

Ah, you can use an entity called npc_maker for creating more monsters and you can use point_template and an env_entity_maker for creating more ammunition.
Also, you'll need to use a few logic_ (and maybe math_) entities if you want these to happen randomly or under other conditions (such as kill 5 monsters, spawn some ammo).
Some tutorials to help you that are here on the Snarkpit:
1.)Attack Waves by greensinge
This will be for creating many respawning enemies in an area. You go farther than this tutorial if you wish. For example, you could have the battle be endless, have a time limit, or have a kill limit. In this tutorial, greensinge assumes that you want an endless battle, but you could use a Logic_Relay to have the makers stop spawning after a delay in time, or you could set the npc_maker's Num. of NPCs to whatever value you want.
2.)Respawning Props by venomus
Venomus' tutorial is actually for respawning props, but it can be used to spawn ammunition or whatever else you'd like it to create and recreate.
This is done by using point_template and env_entity_maker entities.
3.)Using Logic_Case by Stadric
Stadric's tutorial is for randomly unlocking and opening doors, but you should be able to learn what the entity does through the article. I guess you could set it up to randomly decide between two cases. One being: Spawn monsters; and Two being: Spawn munitions.
Sorry for not posting a reply within the past few days. I forgot to check the "Watch" button to remember that I was trying to help someone out.
But I hope this post was of some help to you because it took me a little bit to type it all out. :P

Hehe, he is talking about Half-Life 1 amanderino .
You can use the monster maker entity to spawn monsters. As far as I am aware, its not possible to trigger ammo to spawn in Half-Life 1.
