:( my vehicles refuse to spawn. when i place a vehicle spawn and fill it in precisely as the doc says to AND put it in the lua exactly the way everything should be, the vehicle wont spawn. i have the right control zone and everything filled in right but it still wont spawn. if i find a vehicle in an odf folder and place it without a vehicle spawn it shows up, but only in singleplayer, and thats no fun. pleaaaaase help vehicles are absolutely necessary.

ok can i ask you something when u edited the spawn marker did u set its team number? like it will say team and u either write 1 or 2.... also did you edit the lua for walkers? im not talking about adding in under the side\\rep.lvl thing im talking about here
Hidden/Spoiler:
-- Level Stats
-- ClearWalkers()
AddWalkerType(0, 4) -- special -> droidekas
AddWalkerType(1, 0) -- 1x2 (1 pair of legs)
AddWalkerType(2, 0) -- 2x2 (2 pairs of legs)
AddWalkerType(3, 0) -- 3x2 (3 pairs of legs)
the documentation that comes with the mod tools leaves this stuff out.... which makes it very stressfull :P but hey welcome to the world of modding right? but if the answer to my question is no then i think you write in what type of walker it is 1x2 is the atst or the atrt
2x2 is atat and spider walker and 3x2 is atte... but im not entirly sure how you would add the stuff into the document correctly.... i never did get that part down =P

heh. well, my vehicle isnt a walker just to asnwer one of the questions, and to the other, i must admit i did not insert what team the vehicle goes to. is it necessary for the vehicle to spawn?

EDIT
wait, for the team thing are we talking that one bar that says "team" and in the box it starts out as a "0" and you either write "1" or "2"?

Double posting is against the RULES please use the Edit button - Staff

ok so now i know what youre talking about. so if i fill that in with the correct team(in this case, team 1) the spawn will work?

well, if anyone else has some advice please help me. and this is kind of off topic but it stil has to do with me following the EXACT documentation directions and the map failing me. for the sky file, i tried to replace it with the utupau sky and i replaced everything necessary but instead of a utupau sky i got BLACK. i liked my ugly yavin sky a lot more than just plain solid black. then when i tried to put the yavin sky back i just got more black. :runaway:

Refer to my post entitled "Units Wont Spawn After Minor Changes", thats my current problem..I can get AAT's to spawn but not republic hover vehicles.

To get the AAT in there all I did was follow the instructions in the readme and it worked...

Make sure you're filling out both ATK and DEF values in ZeroEdit. The Page Up and Page Down buttons will let you navigate. But trust me. Fill out both ATK and DEF values for each faction.
