Game: Resident evil 4 HD (2005)

I'm trying to find out what exactly spawns enemies/NPCs because the end goal is to spawn a NPC next to Leon (Main character). I've tried memory searching and ultimap but I'm not having much luck after a few days. Can someone give me some ideas on how to find out what spawns things in this game?

I can find enemy health and my player ID/attributes fine but no dice on spawning.

never worked with RE4 but in general I'd start by finding some property of the entity (such as health), look at what writes to it when it gets spawned and just backtrack through the function calls until you find like a spawnEntity function which the game surely has somewhere, and it most likely takes some entity ID, coordinates of where to spawn and such as its arguments

I had no problem finding the health, but even back tracing I was unable to find anything related to spawning. In the game, all the spawns are static and are loaded in as soon as you load in. Except where if you kill 1, it MAY spawn another if that area calls for it.

Counting up/down enemy counts, tracing the health, or doing a ultimap didn't get me the spawn function. Ultimap took to long to scan so I'd like to avoid it if possible. I'll give another shot at that health though.
