Can I Use Addons?
The short answer is 'Yes'. However...

The point of setPos Templates are to make the mission designer's life easier by providing a ready-built group of objects. If it requires the download of a 20Mb mod to provide those objects, no matter how impressive the models are it's unlikely to win.

We suggest you do use 6thSense's Editor Upgrade, as this makes many of the standard in-game models available to the designer - and also doesn't need to be downloaded by players to use the Template. In addition, there are in-game models which have no classnames, and we encourage you to write your own configs for these in order to make them accessible to players.

If you do use addons, main thing is be creative.
