Opt-in: spawns an entity of <code>model</code> from an <code>object</code> — its <code>Position</code> (if the model has one) takes the object's x/y, and each object custom property sets a like-named int/bool component field through the reflection ABI. Returns the entity, or -1 if the model is unknown. The core load never calls this.
