I don't think Chronic's code will guarantee that it's always reachable. If it's up on top of a box or behind a wall or something (like on de_dust, kind of but not really near the T spawn) then it can't really do anything about that.

I created some code as an example for you.

#include < amxmodx >
#include < amxmisc >
#include < GHW_spawnlist_gen >

new bool:loaded_spawns
new save_file[ 128 ]

public plugin_init( )
{
    get_datadir( save_file, charsmax( save_file ) )
    new len = add( save_file, charsmax( save_file ), "/some_spawns" )
    
    if( !dir_exists( save_file ) )
    {
        mkdir( save_file )
    }
    
    save_file[ len++ ] = '/'
    get_mapname( save_file[ len ], charsmax( save_file ) - len )
    add( save_file, charsmax( save_file ), ".txt" )
    
    if( !( loaded_spawns = load_spawns( ) ) )
    {
        genspawnlist( 1, MAX_ORIGINS )
        set_task( TIMEOUT, "save_spawns" )
    }
}

bool:load_spawns( )
{
    num_origins = 0
    
    new f = fopen( save_file, "rt" )
    
    if( !f )
    {
        return false
    }
    
    new data[ 64 ], i, char_loc
    
    while( !feof( f ) && num_origins < MAX_ORIGINS )
    {
        fgets( f, data, charsmax( data ) )
        trim( data )
        
        if( data[ 0 ] )
        {
            i = char_loc = 0
            
            do
            {
                origins[ num_origins ][ i ] = str_to_float( data[ char_loc ] )
            }
            while( ++i < 3 && ( char_loc += ( contain( data[ char_loc ], "," ) + 1 ) ) != -1 )
            
            num_origins++
        }
    }
    
    fclose( f )
    
    return true
}

public save_spawns( )
{
    loaded_spawns = num_origins > 0
    
    new f = fopen( save_file, "wt" )
    
    if( !f )
    {
        return
    }
    
    for( new i = 0; i < num_origins; i++ )
    {
        fprintf( f, "%f,%f,%f^n", origins[ i ][ 0 ], origins[ i ][ 1 ], origins[ i ][ 2 ] )
    }
    
    fclose( f )
}

spawnCoin( id )
{
    if( !loaded_spawns )
    {
        return
    }
    
    new spawn_index = random( num_origins )
    
    // create entity at origins[ spawn_index ]
}

Thanks Exolent, i think i understand it now.
I'll try it and let you know if i figured it out.

I made it. and it makes the directory in the data folder, but create the file in data folder instead of data/mario_spawns and file in named mario_spawns.txt

I did this:

PHP Code:

    // Random Item spawns
    new len = get_datadir(save_file, charsmax(save_file))
    len += add(save_file, charsmax(save_file), "/mario_spawns")

    if(!dir_exists(save_file))
    {
        mkdir(save_file)
    }

    save_file[len++] = '/'
    
    get_mapname(save_file[len], charsmax(save_file) - len)
    add(save_file, charsmax(save_file), ".txt")

    if(!(loaded_spawns = load_spawns()))
    {
        genspawnlist(1, MAX_ORIGINS)
        set_task(TIMEOUT, "save_spawns")
    } 


I tried with this to, same effect.

PHP Code:

    new datadir[128], mapname[33], filename[33]
    get_datadir(datadir, 127)
    
    get_mapname(mapname, 32)
    
    formatex(filename, 33, "%s/mario_spawn/%s", datadir, mapname)
    add(filename, charsmax(filename), ".txt")
    
    if(!(loaded_spawns = load_spawns()))
    {
        genspawnlist(1, MAX_ORIGINS)
        set_task(TIMEOUT, "save_spawns")
    } 


@Hawk552:
Sorry, I looked over your post. Which will guarantee the most reachable? Yours or Chronics?
I'm having troubles with the directory, can't seem to figure it out.

EDIT: I fixed it, it works now, but as Hawk552 said: sometimes they are unreachable. Do you know how i can add like csdm spawnmaker from Chronic, the testing part to see if everything is rigth.

i have a new question:

Is there a way to determine how many spawns there are, and then do something like this:

PHP Code:

max_item_spawns // the amount of spawns

set_task(1.0, "spawn_coin", _, _, _, "a", max_item_spawns / 2)
set_task(1.0, "spawn_box", _, _, _, "a", max_item_spawns / 2)

num_origins is the total number of origins..
