SpawnPlayer

Spawns - or respawns - the player at their SetSpawnInfo point.

Puts a player whose level is loaded into the world at the point SetSpawnInfo set (the server’s default without one), or moves and re-outfits one who already is; OnPlayerSpawn follows. The way to release a player held by OnPlayerRequestSpawn returning false, and to respawn the dead when [combat] respawn_seconds is 0. A spawn heals: full health and stamina, injuries and the server’s buffs gone.
