Description of the fields

Appendix: Static Passengers (npcs)
Transports will load static passengers when:
- transport moves from inactive to active grid
- the grid that transport is currently in becomes active
It will unload static passengers when:
- transport moves from active to inactive grid
- the grid that transport is currently in unloads
The loading process will get the map from gameobject_template.data6 (SpawnMap)
, and then creates all creatures and gameobjects that are in the same map.
Creatures and gameobjects spawn points will be used as relative to the transport.
Note that transports have their own map: https://wow.tools/dbc/?dbc=map&build=9.1.0.38312#page=1&colFilter[1]=Transport
