Entity worldspawn

Every map should have exactly one worldspawn.

The worldspawn entity describes properties of the map. Every map needs exactly one worldspawn entity, generated implicitly by editor when you create it.

The worldspawn entity may also contain the names of map entities to reference in the map script. For example, to reference entity 'myhouse_gun_emplacement' from a script, you should add the key 'script_emplacement' with value 'myhouse_gun_emplacement' to worldspawn's properties. You can then refer to the entity in your script using the method 'worldspawn.getEntityKey("script_emplacement")'. (Note: 'script_emplacement' could be any text at all, provided it is identical in both the map's worldspawn and the map's script)
