it works fine on one of servers however on another i get this error

160 NpcSpawn - Failed to compile: Expected expression | Line: 6590, Pos: 29

Are you sure it's the latest version too? can you write o.reload NpcSpawn in the server console and show all the messages from the server console after that?

Do you have a tutorial that describes how to use your API to spawn in NPCs? 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, is the information on the Details tab not enough for you or have you not seen it?

I've looked at those - I was hoping for something like the bare minimum to spawn a bot; using directives, including the plugin, calling the method, adding the position, etc.

Additionally, if I call this 3 times with the same location, will the bots all spawn in the same spot or do I need to create random positions to spread the bots out a bit? - I'm guessing the bot preset json sorts all this config for the spawn? So call it once and the position will be the centre of the preset?

I'll have a play later but right now the one line method call doesn't tell me a lot, probably my own lack of knowledge though.

For instance:

[PluginReference] Plugin NpcSpawn;

void OnCrateHack(HackableLockedCrate crate) {

	Vector3 location = crate.transform.position;

	NpcSpawn.SpawnPreset(location, "Mercenary");

}

Of course, I'm not a developer, but in your example, everything seems to be simple. When hacking hackablecrate starts, an NPC from NpcSpawn with the Mercenary preset will be created at its coordinates, which should be located in oxide/data/NpcSpawn/Preset/Mercenary.json, you can setup it via chat command from NpcSpawn plugin: /preset
