the AR2 and Crossbow randomly spawn in a certain room after they have been picked up somewhere else. If you never pick them up they never spawn in that certain room (i never set them to spawn there). But after i've already picked them up from the rooms i set them in they spawn in this other room instead of the one i put them in. how can I fix this?

What effect are you looking for exactly, and what did you do to get the one you have now?

i'm not looking for anything. I just put an entity into the level: weapon_ar2 or whatever. just normal..same way i did them all but for some reason the AR2 and the Crossbow respawn there and in another room. I've checked the other room several times and there is no weapon in there. I have no idea why they're spawning there instead of where i put them. And like i said...they only do it after i've picked them up once.

do you have the same name on the entity. if its the same name it might do this. ive had problems in css with weaponspawning. The weapons fell through the ground i think its a bug which might need fixing.

i'm not sure what you mean by same name. I haven't changed anything in the weapons. I put them in as regular weapon entities and they respawn in other places. it confuses me a lot haha.

what i mean by name is the entities name if you have the same entity which you have copied it will spawn in one place and the other asin it will spawn in one place the move to the place where you had the other one. naming can be a bit of a bother but its woth it because if it dosent work or if there is something wrong with the entity you can look up the entity report and change the properties.
