This is very confusing, in my map, I'm doing Rebels vs. Republic. Now I want to create a republic starfighter. So I type in rep_fly_anistarfighter in the republic and empire feilds and it isn't there in-game. So I tried just republic, didn't work...Then I tried Empire, still don't work...I am wondering what the problem is, I called for it in my lua, created a control region for it, assigned the cp to a control region and still no success. Maybe it's the name, maybe i'm doing something else wrong, but I did the same thing I did for another map and the barcspeeder shows up fine. Is it the fighter?

There's something more on the name... I don't remember what is it, though... But I'm sure thats something more on that name. Maybe is anistarfighter_rc, but just a thought

didn't you have it set on the team for when it's gonna spawn to 'imps'? I'm thinking this because you made rebel vs empire. So if you took the GCW 'template', wouldn't you then try to insert it under Imps?

the control region entry is the name of the command post it's spawning for. You actually don't make a "control" type region. It also has to be in the same layer as the cp. Go back and check if both of those things are true.




...And if nothing works, you can put the odf in ze directly. But, it won't respawn.

It is, everything is right, and it's still not working! I did the same thing for another vehicle, but in a map withouth rebels vs. republic, thats why its so confusing. While I checked rep_fly_anakinstarfighter_sc, I checked spawn time and everythong and it's all good too!

In your first post you said you created a region and typed it's name under the control region entry in the vehicle spawn, correct?

You also have to have the repdef and impdef entries with the name, if you didn't do that.

maybe you'd like to show us a screenie of the vehicle spawn fields.

I have it as cp1_control. I entered rep_fly_anakinstarfighter_sc in ImpDef one, and ImpAtk one. Then I tried the same for republic, then both. Still doent work...

you should have it as "cp1", or the name of the command post your region is attached to, not the region itself. That should probably work

ugh...i'm not talking about that, I have it like that, i'm saying thats what I named the control region. I read the docs.

But in this post didn't you say every thing was fine?

yeah, how'd he do it? Glad it got fixed, even if I couldn't contribute. Hope you release this map you're working on. But anyways, how'd he do it?

Well when I'm adding ships or units and stuff I always look in the odf file of that side it might take more time but it stops future problems :wink:

rep_fly_anakinstarfighter_sc is what it is, and he told me to put spawn count to 5, spawn timer to 5, and i think thats all he had me change, if it doesn't work for you, just pm me.
