[6475]52        @brief
[7540]53            The PickupSpawner class is responsible for spawning @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" of a specific type.
54            Furthermore it can be specified how long the time interval between spawning two items is and how many @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" are spawned at maximum, amongst other things. The parameters that can be used to further specify the behaviour of the PickupSpawner are:
55            - The <b>triggerDistance</b> can be used to specify how far away an entity has to be to still trigger the PickupSPawner (and thus receive a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" form it). The default is 10.
56            - The <b>respawnTime</b> is the time in seconds that passes until the PickupSpawner is enabled again, after having spawned a @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable". The default is 0.
57            - The <b>maxSpawnedItems</b> is the number of @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables" that are spawned by this PickupSpawner at the most. The default is -1, which denotes infinity.
[7494]58
[7540]59            A PickupSpawner is created in XML, which can be done in the following fashion:
60            @code
61            <PickupSpawner position="-100,0,-100" respawnTime="30" maxSpawnedItems="10">
62                <pickup>
63                    <SomePickup >
64                </pickup>
65            </PickupSpawner>
66            @endcode
67            As we can see, since the PickupSpawner is a StaticEntity, it also has spatial coordinates. We can also see, that the type of @ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupable" which is spawned hast to be specified as well.
