Quite easy. You go to the encounter tab in the toolset (button is crossed swords.) Choose an encounter or make your own in the custom tab. Then draw it out and then edit it. Choose between 'Single Shot' and 'Continuous' in the spawn options. Now go to the advanced tab, check the Encounter Respawns box. Then set how often it respawns and how much time between each spawn. 
Highlight the trigger then rightclick near it and 'add spawn point'. Drag it (or add more) to a good location and from then on, as soon as a player enters that trigger, monsters will spawn at each spawn point and do so as many times and as often as you selected.
Note: It's a good idea to put spawn points out of sight. If you put them right nearby try and hide the spawn point behind tree's or something. It kind of breaks the immersion of a game if every time you get into a fight it's because some monsters just appeared infront of you. (Although this effect can be used well to simulate something like a rogue npc leaving stealth mode. )
Hope that helps. The above is generally the best way to place monsters in your game as they adjust the number and skill of the monsters depending upon the level of the person who is playing the mod. |

Good info Fion...Thanx~!
However, my situation is a bit different, hopefully there is help for me out here~! I've searched the forums but I cannot come up with the answer I seek. Thus, I humbly say Thanx in advance to any that can/will help here....
My Situation -->
I have created a SPECIFIC undead that I want to spawn ONLY when three specific magic items (formerly his, of course) have been obtained by Players.
...Help?
Thanx~!

To do something that complicated you need a script. Not sure if this will work or not, be sure to change the spots it says ITEM TAG, creature resref and SPAWN WAYPOINT TAG. This would go On Enter of a trigger and just spawns the creature, it doesn't force the creature to do something after it spawns - that would require the script to be altered slightly:
