# ModelEngine addon (BETA)

{% hint style="warning" %}
The addon is in BETA stages. Stuff will be added/removed in almost every update
{% endhint %}

## What does it do?

This addon allows you to summon entities with custom models inside the portal

{% hint style="info" %}
Requires [ModelEngine](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/conxeptworks-model-engine%E2%80%94ultimate-custom-entity-model-manager-1-16-5-1-19-2.79477/) 2.5.3
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**I**f you reload the server and there are spawned models, the models will stay there and won't be removable (unless you use commands to force remove them)
{% endhint %}

## How is it configured?

```yaml
Addon:
  ModelEngine: #This list will run for every portal entity inside the portal. so when you check (%y%==%minY%) you check if the model will spawn at the bottom of the portal
    # - '<boolean>;<modelName>;<x>,<y>,<z>'
    # Example 1: spawn kindletronjr model inside the outline of the portal
    # - '(%y%==%minY% || %y%==%maxY%) || ((%x%==%minX% || %x%==%maxX%) && (%z%==%minZ% || %z%==%maxZ%));kindletronjr;%x%,%y%,%z%'
    # Example 2: Spawn kindletronjr at the center of the portal
    # - 'once;kindletronjr;%centerX%,%centerY%,%centerZ%'
```

{% hint style="info" %}
You can use the keyword 'once' in order to only summon the model once at the specified location.

You can use 'DEBBUGER' to debug the first argument

You can use simple mathematical operations for the spawn location

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://astaspastagam.gitbook.io/first-steps/configuring-dimensions/addons/premium-addons/modelengine-addon-beta.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
