Suggestion: Individual flag for the spawning of a certain kind of NPC, or an item that spawns an NPC upon being 'used'.
Why it would be worth adding: Allows other people to spawn NPCs during certain occasions while ensuring compartmentalisation/prevents them spawning certain other ones by accident, etc.

yeah this sounds schizo but...interesting idea, maybe?

randomly had this idea when hearing about poison headcrab zombies

considering flags need to be prescribed as a letter, how would you limit each NPC (of which there are close to 30) under a 26 letter alphabet, especially when most are used by existing flags.

I thought there were multiple letter flags.

For example, AB

Would you really want to need to issue 'AGFHER' to one person for an NPC?
What if you get 'AFGFHEL' instead and they spawn in the wrong NPC?

It's overthinking a basic problem, and it would be hell to track who has what flag or permission.

I mean you could make that mistake with the other flags
