ok, right now i have my mod set up so when a needle comes out of needler, its shaped like a spartan biped, and when it goes off, a wraith, a plasma grenade, and a spartan biped comes out, when the plasma grenade goes off, same thing happens, is it possible to make more combinations of chain spawns, like, make it that when a plasma pistol shoots, a needle comes out and when it explodes, some different things come out, while still keeping the needler doing its thing???? kinda complicated i know, but if it is possible, can you tell me how to do it?? thnks

I recomend you watch the video it helps, once you added the spawn chunk to the effect you can clone this chunk, 1 chunk = 1 spawn.
Also make a backup of your map before doing this, chunk clonning doesn't work fine it could damage your mapfile, just make a backup before doing this.

the whole broken idents when chunk cloning for chain spawns is a pain in the ass I found you could do it if it was done in the right order which I've forgoten (dumbarse)
As perhaps a soultion there are [effe]'s that have several events (example one of the needler impacts near the top of the tag that has 3 events) you can add proj/bloc etc to each event and set the delay between each event that can either make things easier or really hard to do, there is one monster effe that has 7 events but I couldn't work it , I'm still waiting to see Cpt Poopfaces recent work because he's biggest shady chainspawn workaround geeza going
neodo's tut helps you get to grips with the method, look at poopfaces work to really understand how its done
Or have a look at my effort
here just one of my multi evented chain spawn attempts, which after recent developements I think I must perfect
