sc_spawn_service_v1.spawn_near_player

Catalogue snapshot — development preview

SDK 2.3.0 · game pack 0.6.0 · source e616ed69d8f9f77b0f4827881c86d91e4a7d1689 Published release: sdk-v2.3.0 (immutable approved assets; this development preview is not an approved release). Source-backed inventory is not a runtime or in-game verification claim.

Spawns an entity class (a ship, a vehicle, an item) at offset metres from you, in your current zone’s frame. NULL on success with *out_id = the new entity id; else the reason. The id is final at once, but the entity streams in later: a few seconds, up to a minute for a big ship. entity_alive(id) answers 1 once it has. An entity spawned here belongs to no plugin: set_entity_transform refuses it. Use spawn_as for an entity you will move. Implementation initializes out_id to 0 before failure checks.

Limitations / unestablished guarantees

• returned string lifetime unspecified;
• recursive reentrancy unspecified.
• Additional failures/output state unspecified unless described in the buffer contract.
• Game-service behavior not verified in a game session.

Parameters and buffers

const char* (*spawn_near_player)(const char* entity_class, const double offset[3], uint64_t* out_id);
Spawns an entity class (a ship, a vehicle, an item) at offset metres from you, in your current zone’s frame. NULL on success with *out_id = the new entity id; else the reason. The id is final at once, but the entity streams in later: a few seconds, up to a minute for a big ship. entity_alive(id) answers 1 once it has. An entity spawned here belongs to no plugin: set_entity_transform refuses it. Use spawn_as for an entity you will move. Implementation initializes out_id to 0 before failure checks.

Results and failures

Absent table: query_service NOT_FOUND; requires spawner rows (product gate spawn.ship). Wrong thread or missing readiness: 0 or borrowed reason string. Additional failures/output state unspecified unless described in the buffer contract.

Absent capability

Absent table: query_service NOT_FOUND Wrong thread or missing readiness: 0 or borrowed reason string.

Ownership

Spawned entity belongs to no plugin; out ID caller-owned. Failure reason is borrowed; returned string lifetime unspecified; never free.

Thread affinity

Game thread only; recursive reentrancy unspecified.

Callback context

unspecified

Reentrancy

unspecified

Cleanup and cancellation

No cancellation entrypoint; asynchronous streaming is not cancelled by this table.

Language mappings

Status labels are copied verbatim from the catalogue: direct is native access; typed-wrapper is wrapper-backed; restricted is a subset/adaptation; unsupported means no supported route is established. No status implies universal safety.

Language	Catalogue status	Source evidence / wrapper tokens
c	direct	include/sc_spawn.h (*spawn_near_player)
cpp	direct	include/sc_spawn.h (*spawn_near_player)
csharp	unsupported	docs/sdk-csharp.md The host-owned services each have a class. docs/sdk-csharp.md | Class | Service | Does |
lua	unsupported	sdk/docs/lua.md The script sees only: sdk/docs/lua.md There is no io, os, package, require, debug, dofile, loadfile or FFI plugins/lua/sco_lua_game.c if (!(actors || vehicles || world || entities || creative)) return;

Tests

• tests/abi_spawn.c
• tests/test_app.cpp

ABI pins prove layout, not semantic behavior or a live game session.
