Read the Getting Started Doc. It talks about spawning vehicles.

Well i have it all right in ZE.. i think anyways, but i think my lua might be wrong ehre


ReadDataFile("sound\\yav.lvl;yav1cw")
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
"rep_inf_ep2_rifleman",
"rep_inf_ep2_rocketeer",
"rep_inf_ep2_engineer",
"rep_inf_ep2_sniper",
"rep_inf_ep3_officer",
"rep_inf_ep2_jettrooper",
"rep_hover_fightertank",
"rep_hero_anakin",
"rep_hover_barcspeeder",
"rep_walk_atte")

I'd bet that you didn't add memorypools for your walker. Right above all the SetMemoryPool lines in your .lua should be something about AddWalkerType (looks like this):

AddWalkerType(0, 4) -- memory pool for droidekas (0 leg pairs, in this case set for 4 'dekas)
AddWalkerType(1, 0) -- memory pool for 1-leg pair vehicles (set to 0, AT-RT, AT-ST)
AddWalkerType(2, 0) -- memory pool for 2-leg pair vehicles (set to 0, Spider Walkers, AT-AT)
AddWalkerType(3, 2) -- memory pool for 3-leg pair vehicles (set to 2, AT-TE)

The second number sets how many can be on the field at once.

So this is what it shoudl look like, tho this is jsut the droidika, it shoudl look something like this???


-- 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)

AddWalkerType(3, 2) -- 3x2 (3 pairs of legs)

And if thats right, which its prolly not, where do i put it?

BTW im only spawning one ATTE now

You don't need to duplicate the AddWalkerType line for 3 leg pairs. Other than that, provided you want to spawn 2 AT-TEs at a time and 4 droidekas at a time, you're good to go.

would i put somthiong like

instead of Speacial ---- Droideka

also put


vehicle ----- At-te?

No. Anything in a .lua that comes after two dashes ("--") is just a comment. The "special -> droideka" etc. is only there to help you know what's what.

well now im right confused i know whati have to do, but i dont knwo how to do it lol, If only it said in the docs "____________PUT THIS IN THAT PART OF YOUR lua" lol

All you need to do is change the second number in the parentheses of the AddWalkerType with the number of legpairs you want. NOTHING ELSE.

Like I said, ignore anything in the .lua after two dashes. They're just notes that the programmers made in there that don't affect the program.

soooo...... 1?


I am only spawing one atte so im assuming 1

That would be correct. It should look like this:

AddWalkerType(0, 4) -- special -> droidekas
AddWalkerType(1, 0) -- 1x2 (1 pair of legs)
AddWalkerType(2, 0) -- 2x2 (2 pairs of legs)
AddWalkerType(3, 1) -- 3x2 (3 pairs of legs)

After a long day of posting, You helped me More then anyone else! tho ppl have helped me out alot aswell THank you so much! lol

Well i kinda left out the control region any hlp there? I have chekced the docs, but so far found nothing

You must've missed that whole "getting started" doc, which really has a pretty solid tutorial on adding vehicles. Regardless, as long as you don't assign a controlregion to your vehicle spawn, you don't need one. Just make sure the vehicle spawn is assigned to your REP team (there's a box that says team, and the clones are probably team 1), so that only clones can use the AT-TE.

Well it doesnt spawn

You need this line in your .lua, also, if it's not there. It goes with the rest of the memorypools:

SetMemoryPoolSize("CommandWalker", 1)

Look in the geo1c_con.lua if you're having .lua problems, especially with a Geonosis map.
