I am setting up a local team via allypaths, but when i try it out in game, the map crashes while loading.

I get this error saying I've set up my AddUnitClass function wrong: But I'm not sure what I did wrong. Here is my CNDg_cmn:
and my CNDg_Diet Dr. Pepper:

-- Local Stats
SetTeamName(3, "locals")
AddUnitClass(locals, "imp_inf_stormtrooper", 10)

I think, this should be
AddUnitClass(3, "im_inf_stormtrooper", 10)

3 means team, not "locals" -- locals is the name of the team.

Okay so I made that change and the map doesn't crash anymore, but the local units do not spawn.

I get this weird error that I don't understand:

Looks like you didn't give this third team a goal.

I would try to remove

"locals=3;"

And just look at the stock tat3 scripts. In Jabba's Palace, all they did was put a command post for team 3, a linked spawn path to the cp.

The only code needed to set up Gamorreans was;
In tat3 levels, they didn't add any fancy coding at the top of the file like "3=locals"

I would try to do what tat3 levels do:
Ensure your map has 1 CP with Team value on 3, with a spawn path linked.
In the code just paste the above Gamorrean code but just change the character string.

I added an AI goal in my cmn.lua and it didn't work: So I tried it in the Assault mission lua: But that didn't change anything either. And I would much rather stick to the Kashyyyk-style "allypath" method since this map is pretty big and i would rather have the spawning at the defending teams CP's instead of having one of there own

I had a dumb moment and didn't see you were making a space level...

I have had this issue too - I do not think locals can be added in space maps.
I tried my hardest to make it work but it didn't.

Space maps are just really large ground maps without any terrain. Plus, the lua files JazzMaster posted are actually for a Conquest mode.

@JazzMaster: Hmm, your lua files seem to look fine. I would just keep the team 3 AI goal in your assault mission lua for now. I suggest double-checking whether the path names match up with the ones you specified for AllyPath. And the other thing I suggest you try doing is removing the ALL and IMP Deathmatch goals, which might be causing some kind of interference; those two teams should already have Conquest goals from the ObjectiveConquest.lua.

1. Have you set up your allypath??
2. AddUnitClass(locals, "imp_inf_stormtrooper", 10) is fine, but you defined locals as "3;" and not as "3". As far as i know you needn't add ; at the end of each line.
3. You never set att and def as enemy or you haven't post it
4. In the latest lua you posted you added ; behind ATT and DEF, too. Please remove this again.

When i'm back at home i can have a look at my luas and look for differences

==edit==

Not sure about your scripting concept, but you have a function in the cmn file called scriptinit and in your other lua you have a function called myscriptinit. Maybe there is something wrong with the function names, because i don't see the part were you callscriptinit or myscriptinit

So here are my current LUAs in there entireties.

cmn.lua mission lua My spawn paths for the allypath values are definitely set up right. I've check dozens of times to make sure i'm not hallucinating

I got rid of the ATT and DEF deathmatch goals.

Took the ";" out of ATT=1 DEF= 2 etc.

Also got rid of the "myscriptinit" from the mission lua because it was pointless. Just added that single memorypool to the cmn file.

But the locals still dont spawn

Do the other troopers spawn?? You are using realy curious scripts. (You have a lot of functions defined in a function. Or you give a function a function definition as parameter. I never know that this is possible.)


I'd try to put the locals under the team setup (actually where you are calling the function, not where you define it). I think that at the position you add the unit, it isn't known for SWBFII, because the function is started at the very end when you call "SetupUnits()". Is there a reason why you made a new function for reading in all lvl files, and call this later in the lua??
Add an space between "locals" and "="



here is my geonosis lua file. It's the map with the most locals i ever used, and they are all working. So i cannot see any difference but the once i told you above. But maybe someone else see some.

Wow thanks Anakin! They spawn now. These scripts are just the stock space assault scripts converted to conquest scripts by following this tutorial. The functions in the cmn.lua are set up pretty much the same as a stock space cmn.lua but with the memorypools for adding jedi and now the local sides. the CNDg_Diet Dr. Pepper.lua was changed to be a conquest mission script instead of an assault mission script.

Thanks a bunch Anakin, AQT and Anthony!

I just know these stock ground map luas and they have skriptinit and skriptpostinit in one file
