So, you have env_shooter or point_template (point_template is highly recommended) (name used in tut: spawner) and func_button (name used in tut: spawner_button). You would like to limit spawning.

At first, make math_counter. Name it spawner_counter.

Right click at spawner_button and add output:

• My outputs named Onpressed
  Target entities named spawner_count
  Via this input Add
  With a parameter override of 1
  After a delay in seconds of 0.00

Take a look at Locked Sound. I use "Small zap" for locked sound.

Let's return to spawner_counter.
In Maximum Legal Value, set limit (like 15, 20, 30 etc).

Then, add output:

• My outputs named OnHitMax
  Target entities named spawner_button
  Via this input Lock
  With a parameter override of
  After a delay in seconds of 0.00

It's done!

NOTE: When using multiple spawners, use prefixes like r3_ (red team, prop n. 3 etc.)

I wouldn't use env_shooter when we have point_template.

Here's a small example map that has 2 buttons to spawn props using point_template.

You can spawn 5 big ones and 10 small ones, and the spawning panel also lowers to the floor on fight mode and comes back in build.

updated. should i write tut about just spawning too?
