I'm trying to get items to spawn in mid-air, 20 seconds after the game has started. How do I do this, or can't it be done?

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Set "Place at start" (under advanced) to false and set the respawn timer to 20s. I think that will cause the object to respawn every 20 seconds though. If you only want it to drop once, it probably won't be very easy. Depends on what kind of object it is, afaik.

I did that, nothing happened after 20 seconds though.

The timer counts down from around the time the map loads. Check out "Simon's Labyrinth" on my alt FS "BR Mitzvah" in a custom game. You can see in the loadout camera how I did it. I just set up a whole bunch of those ramps to spawn at 5 second intervals until I found the timeframe that lined up with the timing I wanted.

I should've probably mentioned that I don't want the objects to remain stationary. I need them to spawn in mid-air 20 seconds after the match has begun and drop into the man cannons that are positioned below them.

No, it's for a machinima short I've had my mind on for some time.

Anyways I've got it all sorted now.

I'm guessing you've already figured this out, but it's just a matter of object selection. Crates, cones, barriers, etc. can be moved if their physics are set to normal. Basically most of the scenery.
