Hi, I've made a map that is an edit of the stock Death Star. It has custom sides like some Imperials on the Republic team, and an entire team of Gungans. For some reason whenever I have a server with some friends, we always get a strange roadblock stopping us from spawning. It does the countdown, then after it reaches 1, it goes to this:

Hidden/Spoiler:

This happens to either player one or two; it's completely random who gets it. The player sits there unable to spawn. I've never heard of this happening, has anyone else?

No, I havent heard of this before... I'd make sure you scripted everything in right... Like the units into the lua.

Posted: **Wed Aug 25, 2010 2:39 am**

if he didnt script the units properly he couldnt spawn as them i suppose
can you post your lua?

Posted: **Wed Aug 25, 2010 2:55 am**

Well sometimes you can spawn and sometimes you can't. But there's always someone who gets this message. Around 75% of the time, it seems to happen to player one, or the person hosting the server. I noticed all the bots spawn fine.
It also happens on multiple era's. I have 2 custom era's I've made and it happens on them too. I tried remaking the map and got the same thing, so I tried taking out the sides. It appears as though its my rep side that's causing it. It would make sense because I have the same rep team on all my era's. I took out my custom rep and added in the default rep team and didn't get any problems. Anyway, here's my lua.

You only have one person allowed in each slot/unit type. If you have more then 4 players, one person won't be able to be any unit, unless you have removed the points to unlock for the last two.

Is that really it? I thought that number was only for AI. I'll give it a try.

Edit-

Thanks Lucasfart I didn't know it was as simple as that
