How do set a spawn point in a official map? And i mean one i can pick from level select.

i'm not sure how but from what i know you need to copy a spawnpoint model in world editor and move it wherever.

 

1. Hit F11 to open the World Editor.
2. In the panel on the left, select the Player Drop Points folder. (If you don't select it, the new spawn point will appear at the end of the main folder.)
3. On the toolbar, click the "Add" tool.
4. Find the Spawn Sphere in the Level Objects* sub-toolbar that just appeared.
5. Make sure the "Snap to Mesh" option (main toolbar) is selected.
6. Click the ground where you want your new spawn point.
7. Hit Escape to exit the tool.
8. Save the game.

Don't worry, you're not overwriting the game on your C: drive. A map folder is created in your user folder with your edits. A major update may break your modifications. You can remove them by deleting the level folder for that map in your user folder.

*I think it's that toolbar. I'm at work so I can't check.

 

Then some beloved file work if you want to get your new spawn point to show up in the level's spawn point selector:

- rename the PlayerSpawnSphere1 you created with geobeck's guide, to spawn_ghs129
- take a scenic screenshot of the spawn area
- copy the map's info.json from the game folder content/levels/map_name to your user folder 0.23/levels/map_name

Using Small Island as an example here
- open the info.json with Notepad++ and add lines under "spawnPoints" as shown:

Spoiler: json

Code:

{
    "title": "levels.small_island.info.title",
    "defaultSpawnPointName":"spawn_north",
    "description": "levels.small_island.info.description",
    "previews": ["small_island_preview.jpg"],
    "size": [1024,1024],
    "country": "levels.common.country.usa",
    "biome": "levels.small_island.info.biome",
    "roads": "levels.small_island.info.roads",
    "suitablefor": "levels.small_island.info.suitablefor",
    "features": "levels.small_island.info.features",
"spawnPoints":[
  {
    "translationId":"ghs129",
    "objectname":"spawn_ghs129",
    "preview":"spawn_ghs129_preview.jpg"
  },
  {
    "translationId":"levels.small_island.spawnpoints.spawn_north",
    "objectname":"spawn_north",
    "preview":"spawn_north_preview.jpg"
  },
  {
    "translationId":"levels.small_island.spawnpoints.spawn_south",
    "objectname":"spawn_south",
    "preview":"spawn_south_preview.jpg"
  },
  {
    "translationId":"levels.small_island.spawnpoints.spawn_industrial",
    "objectname":"spawn_industrial",
    "preview":"spawn_industrial_preview.jpg"
  }
],
    "authors": "BeamNG"
}

- save and exit
- open the screenshot, resize it to 800x480 and add it to 0.23/levels/map_name. Rename it spawn_ghs129_preview.jpg
- restart the game, and spawn like never before

 

Thanks, I forgot about the json work, even though I do it every time.
