Spawns one creature next to the player.
Overview
Creates a new instance of a base object, NPC or creature right next to the player, using the base form ID. You can pass a count to spawn several at once. It is great for summoning helpers, enemies to fight, or items to grab, though spawning unique or quest NPCs this way can cause duplication problems. The targeted version is plain placeatme.
