**COPY/PASTE PARAMETERS**

[Build Singleplayer & Multiplayer Logic](/en/creator/game-maker/docs/build-singleplayer-and-multiplayer-logic.md) - about **\[SP]** or **\[MP]** behaviours or components.
{% endhint %}
##  Asset Spawner \[SP] \[MP]
* Trigger an Asset or [**Preset**](/en/creator/game-maker/docs/build-menus/side-bar/presets.md#spawn-presets-during-gameplay) to appear at a specific location during gameplay
### Common Uses
* Loot from opened items like chests, crates, etc.
* Replenishing enemy or wildlife supply (which could provide players with dropped resources)
* Adding content to a scene as part of the game's narrative
***
## How it Works
### Trigger: Multiple messages in
### Action: Spawn Asset or Preset
Spawn once or when triggered (with a delay) at a precise offset location.
Asset Spawner behaviour can create new objects during play, triggered by messages sent such as this Asker Behaviour.
{% hint style="success" %}
Asset Spawner behaviour sets a specific spawn location. [Drop](/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/actions/drop.md) component does not.
{% endhint %}
### Out: No messages sent
***
## Parameter Notes
{% hint style="info" %}
***Green text*** means settings are applied to the spawned object.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
If you need to spawn something with custom settings, create a Preset to spawn.
{% endhint %}
|  | **Spawn Offset** - set the location of the spawned object in relation to the Spawner using **X**, **Y**, and **Z** coordinates. |

Use Preset
False - the Asset to Spawn, Behaviour, Tags, Components, and Physics fields will appear to select an Asset to spawn and set properties.
True - the Preset field will appear so you can open the popup window and select from one of your Presets, which already have defined properties.
|
| | **Delay Between Spawns** - set the time in seconds that must pass before the Spawner can be triggered again to prevent players from spamming the spawner too quickly. |
