Add custom boss spawning to maps

mikehabibi commented 9 years ago

Instead of utilizing Valve's spawning mechanism (location, %), allow this to be configured by the user and/or by comp configuration. For each map, a list of locations/percentages can be specified. It can either randomly select between them, or optionally, allow configuration to weight the probability of certain ones being selected. As a hypothetical example:

c1m1
{
  tank
  {
    // x,y,z is spawn location
    // percentage is survivor map completion
    // probability is the likelihood of using this spawn point
    // x,y,z,percentage,probability
    1100,2200,3300,27,75
    4400,5500,3300,73,20
    300,400,3300,5,5
  }
  witch
  {
    ....
  }
}

Possibly add outline around each tank spawn so infected and survivors know exactly where the tank will trigger. Can use the scavenge "start round perimeter" method.

Here's some pseudo code I wrote while bored. It will have to be rewritten with actual stuff, but the create tank entity portion is accurate and is how we should spawn the tanks.
