Proper way to spawn entity

Hello,

I am trying to get a proper way to spawn entity at random position without having trouble like

Population is null, entity spawned from outside the spawn handler?

Here is my code

Code:

        private void spawnResourceNode(Vector3 location)
        {
            string prefabName = "assets/bundled/prefabs/autospawn/resource/ores/";            // Select a random ResourceNode type {Metal, Stone, Sulfur}.          
            int r = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0, 2);            switch (r)
            {
                case 1:
                    prefabName += "metal-ore";
                    break;                case 2:
                    prefabName += "stone-ore";
                    break;                default:
                    prefabName += "sulfur-ore";
                    break;
            }            prefabName += ".prefab";            // & spawn the ResourceNode at Vector3(location).
            var newPos = AdjustPosition(location);
            BaseEntity resourceNode = GameManager.server.CreateEntity(prefabName, newPos, new Quaternion(), true);
            resourceNode.Spawn();
        }
        private Vector3 AdjustPosition(Vector3 pos)
        {
            Vector3 randomPos = Quaternion.Euler(UnityEngine.Random.Range((float)(-100 * 0.2), 100 * 0.2f), UnityEngine.Random.Range((float)(-100 * 0.2), 100 * 0.2f), UnityEngine.Random.Range((float)(-100 * 0.2), 100 * 0.2f)) * pos;
            Vector3 correctPos = GetGroundPosition(randomPos);
            return correctPos;
        }        static Vector3 GetGroundPosition(Vector3 sourcePos) // credit Wulf & Nogrod
        {
            RaycastHit hitInfo;            if (Physics.Raycast(sourcePos, Vector3.down, out hitInfo, LayerMask.GetMask("Terrain", "World", "Construction")))
                sourcePos.y = hitInfo.point.y;
            sourcePos.y = Mathf.Max(sourcePos.y, TerrainMeta.HeightMap.GetHeight(sourcePos));
            return sourcePos;
        }

Each time a resource spawn i get spammed by this message.
@Wulf is there a way to avoid this message?

 

Every object that can be spawned from the `autospawn` prefabs has a population. This `SpawnPopulation` takes care of spawning and respawning the resources in specific areas of the map whilst keeping a "steady" population to not spawn too many resources all over the map. So every time you spawn a tree, stone ore, metal ore, etc. it will check this against the spawn population resulting in that `Population is null` message showing up. The only way to get around it is to setup your own `SpawnHandler` to handle it instead of manually spawning the resources.
