# Spawner

The Spawner action allows you to create, or spawn, entities in the environment. For example, a user clicking a button to spawn a tool.

The Spawner action spawns a number of copies of the same VO at a location, with a delay between each one. For example, a user clicking a button could spawn a tool.
