__FORCETOC__
Instead of setting the MORE1 property of a spawn to a single [[Characters|character]] defname, a spawn group can be used instead so that a random character is spawned. A spawn group contains a set of character defnames, with optional weights to affect their chances of spawning.

==Syntax==
The syntax for defining a spawn group is:

<tt>
[SPAWN ''defname''] 
ID=''character_defname_1'' ''weight'' 
ID=''character_defname_2'' ''weight'' 
ID=''character_defname_3'' ''weight'' 
''etc..''
 </tt>

The weight parameter can be used to make a defname more likely to be selected than the other defnames in the group. With a weight of 10 for example, a defname would be 10 times more likely to be selected.

==Properties==
The following properties are available when defining a spawn group:

{| border="1" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4"
| '''Name''' || '''Read/Write''' || '''Description'''
|-
| [[DEFNAME]] || W || Sets the spawn group's defname.
|-
| [[ID]] ''defname'' ''weight'' || W || Adds a defname to the spawn group with the specified weight.
|}

==Examples==
<spherescript>
//
// Undead spawn from default script pack.
//
[SPAWN 08001]
DEFNAME=SPAWN_Undead_Weak
ID=c_spectre,2
ID=c_skeleton_w_axe
ID=c_skeleton_w_sword
ID=c_skeleton,5
ID=c_zombie,10
</spherescript>
