+;Player character
+:If the index is 0, the character is spawned as a player character, stealing controls (but not focus) from the current player. Focus is transferred as well if the old player is deleted ''immediately before'' the new one is created.
+;Automatic naming
+:If the name field is left blank, the engine will generate an automatic name "ai_#", where # is the runtime ID of the character (first empty slot in memory at the time of the spawning). The ID is not zero-padded: "ai_0, "ai_1", ...
+;Missing ONCC issue
+:For [[CHAR]] a.k.a. [[ai2_spawn]], a missing ONCC is resolved by picking the first available ONCC. For [[AISA]] a.k.a. [[chr_create]], as well as for [[ai2_chump]] (hardcoded to spawn ONCCstriker_easy_1), a missing ONCC results in a crash.
+;Missing FLAG issue
+:If the flag ID requested by [[chr_create]] is obsolete or otherwise unavailable, the game will crash.
+;Inventory and script events.
+:Since nearly all the inventory fields are ignored, AISA characters can't be spawned with inventory items, and so the "out of ammo" script function is irrelevant. The inventory can still be set with scripting (items that the character can use, not what they drop when killed). The "no path" function doesn't seem to work, neither does it seem to work for [[CHAR]].
