Having difficulty placeing prefabs like...

assets/content/props/helipad_tarpaulin/helipad_tarpaulin.prefab

assets/content/props/helipad_tarpaulin/hut_tarp.prefab

Want to place a heli-pad centered on the heli spawn poing.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated ;)

Non-entity prefabs have to be part of the map, they can't be spawned by plugins.

Then why does this work?

assets/prefabs/misc/desertbasedwelling/desert_dwelling_single_h.prefab

I assume because it is an assets/prefab?

Because that's a spawnable entity. All desert military base modules are spawnable entities, meaning you can spawn them, and even kill them (not recommended, but you can go up to one and run ent kill in console).

Rust decides which entities are spawnable. That cannot be overriden by plugins.

ThanX!
