Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: SwitchableDecoration→BatSpawner
Spawns a flock of bats when activated. A bat spawner's argument affect its behavior when A_BatSpawn is called:

• args[0] frequency of spawn, a smaller number results in a higher frequency.
• args[1] spread angle, expressed as a byte angle.
• args[3] lifetime of each bats (each point allows spawned bats to survive for four calls to A_BatMove).
• args[4] turn amount per move for the bats (in degrees).
