To spawn a map object, use the spawn function. To use the friendly names for objects include things.h in your script.

Here is an example of spawning a new map object that you can alter later in the script.

include("things.h"); //so we can use the names for objects
mobj ourobject; //declare our object

script 1
{
     ourobject = spawn(IMP, 56, 78, 90);
     //this spawns an IMP at 56, 78 facing 90 degrees 
     //and assigns it to the ourobject variable

     spawn(IMP, 56, 78, 180, 128);
     //this spawns an IMP at 56, 78 facing 180 degrees 
     //and at a height of 128

     IMP.spawn(128, 256, 270, 512);
     //And here is a cooler-looking way of spawning a
     //thing. By using the . operator. X 128, Y 256,
     //facing angle 270 and Z 512.
