Cookie: Routine at 26594

Used by the routine at CreateActor.

Creates the monster in the last of the six actor slots (24445), unless that slot is already in use. The ID is 36 or 37 depending on bit 0 of the number of ingredients that are needed. The monster is put at the bottom of one of the four dustbins, which is chosen at random from the table at DustbinPositions, and is coloured green. Bytes 4 and 5 are the speeds which are used when the monster throws something (see HandleMonster_Throwing); they are made from the frame counter and a random number. A warble sound is then started.
