I am making a map, and i placed 4 spawn locations on level start (it's better in multiplayer) but i have no idea if that works...
Is there even a way of doing that? Because that would be awesome. And if this is doable, maybe i can specify in which location each player will spawn? Thanks.

Currently, nope.

Biggest issue is last time I checked there isn't any split screen local coop so intentionally moving players far apart does not work well.

Yea, there's no support for that and as Neko says, with the local coop as it is, it's a bad thing to make things so that players have to move to far apart. At least I need to think about that when doing official levels.

If the level works in SP then it should work in MP too, just that you are more people.

First i just placed 4 spawns and i was like "probably not...", and then i tried some other stuff but none of them felt like they were going to work. I had the idea that distance between players must be an issue, but my friends and i always split and we never had encountered any limit problem till then, besides the fair exit area restriction, so i thought i should give it a try. Like, if i could spawn players on different places in a small room. Nevermind though.

I thought, back in the days that it would be fun to be able to spawn people in different locations and then they would eventually meet up. I still think it will be a fun thing to try, but it won't happen for this game.
I mean, if you build a large city or whatever, spawn in different parts of it, class based or something.
