Making a custom vehicle spawnable?
Hey, I've been working on a few custom vehicles. I'm able to post them on the workshop, but I can't spawn them with the built-in vehicle spawner.

In the mod manager, there isn't an "Enable" option, only a "Play" option which opens the car on a small, empty map. My vehicle is tagged "Content" which I don't know how to change.

I have an instance saved as an .xml, here's what's inside:

<prefab version="1.3.0">
<group name="Hoon" pos="0.2 0.0 0.0">
<vehicle name="Hoonicorn" tags="musclecar vehicle global spawn" pos="-0.2 0.65 0.0" sound="musclecar" spring="10.0" damping="5.0" topspeed="300" acceleration="50.0" strength="100.0" difflock="1" friction="1.0">
<body name="hoonicorn" tags="musclecar" pos="0.1 0.4 0.0" rot="0 0 0" dynamic="true">
<vox pos="0.1 -0.9 0.0" rot="0 180 0" density="1.0" strength="10.0" collide="true" file="MOD/hoonicornbest.vox" object="body" pbr="0 1 1 0">
<wheel name="BR" pos="-1.0 0.25 -1.45" rot="180 0 180" drive="1">
<vox pos="-0.0 -0.35 -0.05" rot="180 0 180" file="MOD/teardownhoonicorn/hoonicorn.vox" object="wheel_br"/>
</wheel>
<wheel name="BL" pos="0.9 0.25 -1.45" rot="180 0 180" drive="1">
<vox pos="-0.1 -0.35 -0.05" rot="180 0 180" file="MOD/teardownhoonicorn/hoonicorn.vox" object="wheel_bl"/>
</wheel>
<wheel name="FR" pos="-1.0 0.25 1.45" rot="180 0 180" drive="1" steer="1">
<vox pos="-0.0 -0.35 -0.05" rot="180 0 180" file="MOD/teardownhoonicorn/hoonicorn.vox" object="wheel_fr"/>
</wheel>
<wheel name="FL" pos="1.0 0.25 1.45" rot="180 0 180" drive="1" steer="1">
<vox pos="-0.0 -0.35 -0.05" rot="180 0 180" file="MOD/teardownhoonicorn/hoonicorn.vox" object="wheel_fl"/>
</wheel>
<group name="lights,engine,etc" pos="0.1 0.0 0.0">
<location name="camera" tags="player" pos="0.3 0.9 0.0" rot="180"/>
<location name="engine" tags="vital" pos="-0.1 0.5 1.3" rot="0 180 0"/>
<light pos="0.7 0.5 2.1" type="cone" color="0.97 0.93 0.64" scale="0.1"/>
<light pos="-0.8 0.5 2.1" type="cone" color="0.97 0.93 0.64" scale="0.1"/>
</group>
</vox>
</body>
</vehicle>
</group>
</prefab>


spawn.txt says this:
Ken Block's Hoonicorn/hooninstance.xml : Hoonicorn/Ken Block's Hoonicorn

File path is correct, my vehicle is located at Documents/Teardown/mods/Ken Block's Hoonicorn/hooninstance.xml

Thanks in advance!

That solved it. Thank you!
