	~~== Description ==~~		{{MappingDocumentation}}
	This entity is used in combination with [[emp_vehicle_preset]] give mappers the ability to spawn vehicles on demand. When the SpawnVehicle input is triggered, this entity will search for the specified [[emp_vehicle_preset]] and create a vehicle with the current location, orientation, and velocity.

	== ~~Parameters~~ ==		==Overview==
	*Name		This entity is used in combination with [[emp_vehicle_preset]] to give mappers the ability to spawn vehicles on demand. When the ''SpawnVehicle'' input is triggered, this entity will search for the specified emp_vehicle_preset and spawn a vehicle of that configuration at the current location, orientation, and velocity.
	*;Given name so other entities can refer to ~~this~~
	*Parent
	*;Entity to ~~which~~ this entity~~'s movements are tied.~~
	*Angles
	*;Orientation of the current ~~entity (transfers to spawned vehicles)~~

	== ~~Inputs~~ ==		==Properties==
	*SpawnVehicle <string>		;Name
	*;Searches for an map entity with the name ~~specified in the parameter. If the~~ entity ~~is an [[emp_vehicle_preset]], it will read the configuration, and spawn a vehicle~~.		:The name that other entities refer to this entity by.

	~~== Outputs ==~~		;Parent
	~~None~~		:The name of the entity to which this entity's movements are bound.

	~~== How to Use ==~~		;Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X)
	~~There has been some confusion about how~~ to ~~actually make this work~~. ~~The key part~~ is ~~specifying a parameter override for SpawnVehicle containing~~ the ~~preset entity's name~~.		:This entity's orientation in the world, transferred to spawned vehicles. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

	=== Step 1 - Create a vehicle preset ===		;Start Enabled
			:If enabled, this entity will be available to function normally unless disabled.

			;Automatically respawn?
			:Monitor the last spawned vehicle, and respawn if necessary. (Only monitors one vehicle at a time.)

			;Cost resources?
			:If set, deducts the appropriate resource count from the team's balance.

			==Inputs==
			;SpawnVehicle <string>
			:Searches for an map entity with the name specified in the parameter. If the entity is an [[emp_vehicle_preset]], it will read the configuration, and spawn a vehicle.

			==Example Usage==
			There has been some confusion about how to actually make this work. The key part is specifying a parameter override for SpawnVehicle containing the name of the desired emp_vehicle_preset.
