I've been messing with this still lately lol, but I can't get it to work in game... It just crashes when an enemy dies.
Here's what I have... What do I do to get it to work?

Code: 
void spawn06(void vName, float fX, float fY, float fZ)
{
	//Spawns entity based on left screen edge and z axis
	//Auto adjust with camera's position
	//vName: Model name of entity to be spawned in.
	//fX: X distance relative to left edge
	//fY: Y height from ground
      //fZ: Z coordinate

	void self = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling entity.
	void vSpawn; //Spawn object.
	int Direction = getentityproperty(self, "direction");
        int XPos = openborvariant("xpos"); //Get screen edge's position
        int YPos = openborvariant("ypos"); // Get camera position
        int Screen = openborvariant("hResolution"); // Get screen width

	clearspawnentry(); //Clear current spawn entry.
      setspawnentry("name", vName); //Acquire spawn entity by name.

   if (Direction == 0){ //Is entity facing left?                  
      fX = Screen-fX; //Reverse X direction to match facing and screen length
   }

	vSpawn = spawn(); //Spawn in entity.

	changeentityproperty(vSpawn, "position", fX + XPos, fZ + YPos, fY); //Set spawn location.
	return vSpawn; //Return spawn
}

Code: 
name	xflash
health	0
type	none
shadow	0

        @cmd    spawn06 "xflash" 5 20 0
	delay	60
	frame	data/chars/simons/fall002.gif

I set it to ''load'' xflash in my models.txt, but it still crashes. I just want it to spawn the xflash entity at death. Pleae help it's driving me bonkers  :'( lol  Thanks guys  ;)

That function works fine here so the question is which build you are using? I can't guarantee this work in older build.

Also what did log say about this crash? No, not the error message at end of log, I refer to error message somewhere in middle of log.

It's a RAM issue. I don't have enough free to use the xflash. Here's the error:

I did get my xflash to spawn by calling it with the spawn01 script, but how do I get it to spawn in a specific spot on the screen over the enemy icon? I know Bloodbane you mentioned making an entity that scrolls with the screen? Do I need another script for that or need to put in a command of some sort? I'm so close!!! =D
