Spawned Alert

Spawned Alert

The Spawned alert fires when an object, NPC, item, or player enters or leaves the game world around you. It can watch for spawns (something appearing) or despawns (something disappearing), and optionally filter by name and distance.

Fields

Spawned / Despawned

Whether to fire when the entity appears (Spawned) or disappears (Despawned).

Type

The category of entity to watch for:

Type	What it covers
Item	Ground items (drops, spawned loot)
NPC	Non-player characters
Player	Other players
Game Object	Interactable scenery (trees, rocks, furnaces, agility obstacles)
Decorative Object	Visual-only scenery with no interaction
Ground Object	Objects resting on the ground plane
Wall Object	Walls, doors, and fences

Name Pattern

A glob or regex pattern matched against the entity's name. Leave blank to match any entity of the selected type.

• Glob example: *dragon* matches any NPC whose name contains "dragon"
• Glob example: Abyssal whip matches that exact item name

Ownership (Items only)

Filters ground items by who they belong to:

Option	Fires when…
Mine	The item belongs to you (your drop or trade)
Others	The item belongs to another player
Both	Any ground item matches

Distance

Only fire when the spawned entity is within this many tiles of your character. Uses the comparator to the left of the distance value (default is <=).

Set to a large number or leave unconfigured to fire at any distance within your loaded area.

For multi-tile objects, distance is measured from your character to the nearest tile of the object.

Capture Groups

If you use a glob pattern with {} or a regex with () in the Name Pattern field, the captured values are available as $1, $2, etc. in your actions.

Practical Examples

• Rare drop alert: Type = Item, Spawned, Name = Abyssal whip (or any item name), Ownership = Mine. Fire a Popup or TTS action.
• NPC detection: Type = NPC, Spawned, Name = Cerberus to alert when the boss spawns.
• Tree cut down: Type = Game Object, Despawned, Name = *tree* to alert when a tree you are cutting falls.
• Player nearby: Type = Player, Spawned, Distance <= 5 to alert when another player enters close range (useful for PKing awareness).
