Spawner Tool Editor is a Unity Tool oriented to games that need to manage and design enemy waves/rounds. It makes it easy to design manually each round in an efficient and visual way. The ideal target for this tool is TowerDefense games, enemy arenas, and any game which has to spawn enemies in a specific way.

Here you can configure each spawner graph.
You can open it with double click or from inspector of spawner graphs.
You can create spanwer graph in assets folder, right click, Create/SpawnerTool/SpawnerGraph.
