SpawnDecal

Puts a decal of a material on whatever is at a point.

A mark on the ground under a spawn, a stain on a wall: material is one of the game’s decal materials (the decal materials: Materials/decals/decal_blood_a, decal_burned_ash, chalk_cross …), size metres across, seconds how long it stays (0 = the engine’s own default). normal is which way the decal faces - {x, y, z} or three numbers; a floor (0, 0, 1) without it. The same reach and return as SpawnEffect.
