Get spawnpoint by name (dumb question)

Hey.. probably a really dumb question, but I have the name of a spawnpoint as a string... and now I want to get that spawnpoint in the map. Like %spawnpoint= <-- is what exactly? Everything I try fails.

I know I can do that with simgroups of spawnpoints, not done it with a specific spawnpoint. I assume that will work though.

There's probably an easy way to just place em anywhere and call the same function that checks them but without a simgroup.

Yeah, you need to make the engine look in the simgroup first and then determine all names in it and use one of them, I think. There's probably an easy way to just place em anywhere and call the same function that checks them but without a simgroup.

If it's name FooPoint, you could reference it in script by saying %spawnPoint = FooPoint;
