You should not need to restart the server every time you want to move a spawn point two meters. Creator seeds initial locations from config, then normal live management happens through the database-backed in-game editor.

​
/rcospawns

Admins use:
to create, move, rename, enable/disable, reorder or remove spawn locations. Explicit ACE example:
You can replace the default permission logic with CanManageSpawns in config/server.lua.

​
Config locations are a seed

Config.Spawn.locations is used to create the initial database entries. After that, changing a coordinate in the config file does not magically overwrite a location you already edited in-game. The database is the live source.
If you changed config and “nothing happened,” that is usually expected on an existing installation. Use /rcospawns instead of repeatedly restarting the resource.

​
What the client chooses

The spawn UI works with a location identifier. The server resolves the actual location and owns the final transition. That means an integration should not treat arbitrary coordinates sent from the NUI/client as the authority for where a character may spawn.

​
Selector modes

Common behavior modes are: Use the mode that matches your server’s roleplay flow rather than the one with the most UI.

​
Last Location

When enabled, returning characters can choose the position saved from their previous session. The last-position system is separate from the list of town spawn points. Autosave keeps the stored position fresh while the character is actually in the world.

​
Jail / forced position

Some character states should not offer a town selector at all. Jail is the obvious example. Use the server-side forced-last-position hook for those cases so the server decides when the selector is bypassed.

​
Fallback

Always keep a safe fallback spawn. It is the final answer when a character has no valid last position and no other spawn choice applies. Choose an open, reliable world position — not an interior that depends on another resource loading first.
