How do you put enemies in Clear Pipes like in SM3DW?
You can't natively place them in such a way that they spawn in them.
I have however written some code for my MAGLX3 level which lets you do that.

MAKING ENEMY TYPES ABLE TO ENTER CLEAR PIPES
In the file luna.lua, near the top, are some lines that are as follows:
local clearpipe = require("blocks/ai/clearpipe")
clearpipe.registerNPC(285)
clearpipe.registerNPC(207)
These allow NPCs of the given ID to enter clear pipes. In the code linked, the require was slightly outdated, but the lines I pasted above should work for spinies and sparkies respectively.
PLACING ENEMIES IN CLEAR PIPES
The level folder also contains a set of files pertaining to npc-751 (a custom range npc). This is an npc that I've made to spawn an NPC in a clear pipe. The code needs a single adjustment in line 5: Changing "blocks/clearpipe" to "blocks/ai/clearpipe".
Then, in the editor, you can place the npc-751 npc and change the container npc to the NPC you want spawned in the clear pipe.
This particular NPC generates an NPC of the type whenever the timer passes a certain value, and probably also needs pnpc removed, but it should work in the broad strokes.
