Boss Spawn
Made with	Functional > Boss Spawn
What it is	Where a team's boss creature stands, and how tough it is
In the game	Yes, it is exported with the map

A Boss Spawn places a boss: a large creature that guards a team's base, for modes where the teams fight over each other's boss. The boss is level content: it stands in the map whether or not the gamemode mentions it, and the mode decides what killing it means.

Placing one

1. Choose Functional > Boss Spawn.
2. Click where the boss stands. It faces the arrow drawn at its feet; turn it with the Rotate tool.
3. Set its team, health, arena and creature in the inspector.

In a script

api.bosses lists every boss; _entity_damaged and _entity_died report what happens to them; api.entity_zone gives a boss's arena. The client HUD can show both bosses with the boss_health widget. See Bosses.
