Spawning / DeSpawning Question

I am still learning to use the XMLSpawner and I have a question regarding it's capabilities.

Is it possible to set an XMLSpawner to spawn and despawn at specific times of day and / or for specific time limit periods?

A few examples:
Example 1: Spawn 5 Lizardmen at 4 pm everyday, and despawn them at 11pm everyday (unless already killed)

Example 2: Spawn 5 Lizardmen for 1 hr every day at 8am, 12pm, 4pm, and 8pm and so on. (and if not killed after 1 hour they would despawn)

Example 3: Spawn a specific Vendor or other townsfolk only at specific times of day or even days of the week.

This may seem a simple thing to many of you, but I honestly have no idea and I'm here to learn.

Thanks
 
Aurastin, I'm right there with you. XMLSpawner is a huge system and I'm not sure what exactly it can do. Have you had a look at our tutorials section for XMLSpawner?

I have. I just started going through the tutorials yesterday. It's part of what sparked this idea of specific spawn and despawn times and criteria.
And you are absolutely right XMLSpawner is a huge system and it seems to have a lot of potential. It is much more robust than the Premium Spawner system that I am used to using.
 
Found an excellent reference on UO Renaissance. They basically backed up the defunct xmlspawner.forumer.com site, and compiled the pages as MS Word documents. Here is the link to the site:

This link is the post which deals with Time of Day spawns:

And here is the link to the document they reference:

@Lokai , this is an excellent find, and looks to be exactly what I am looking for. I will take a look at it closer over the weekend when I have free time.
This should be made into a Tutorial here on ServUO.
