Is there anyway of changing the cp number, like, when i add a cp to a shipped map and i munge, the number i made the cp is always wrong ingame, is their anyway of changing it? (E.G i named my cp in zeroeditor CP6 and ingame it is like CP8 or CP7 ot any other one but not CP6 )

I don't think there's any way to change that other than trying to adjust the numbers of the CPs in ZeroEditor to match the ones ingame (not entirely sure that would work).

Why does it matter, though?

well its becuase my map when i play it there are like two CP3's and CP4's and i want them to have thier own number

Really? You shouldn't have duplicate numbers. Check it again.

Adding on to my old post, is thier anyway of making differant amount of AI units spaen from differant cp's like 20 spawn in CP1 and 35 spawn in CP2?

I think it has something to do with goal weight
Not sure if this will work but try:
SetProperty("cp#", "AiSpawnWeight", ####)
SetProperty("cp#", "AiGoalWeight", ####)

Not sure if that'll wrk but i think its something like that...

I'm betting the problem is in your lua (in the part where it defines the names of the CP's). Can we see your lua?

If you're talking about changing the cp's name from the lua, i don't think it will work at all. the lua doesn't set the names of the cp's just the fact that they exist.......

Actually, the lua does set the cp's names. Trust me - I wrote the beginner's guide for modding .
Anyway, your problem is near the beginning of your lua. Here is what a standard, unchanged lua looks like (with ICH as the 3-letter code):
The part you want is near the beginning: First it calls for the cp as it is named in Zeroeditor. Then, it defines what it will be called ingame. That part is probably where your problem is at (the part right after "name").

ok this is my lua ( its bfx ) but i use it instead of the original CW most of the time

a bit offtopic but why are you trying to load the common.lvl twice?

oh and sorry for bringing this old topic a bit forward but i found out how to change the cp number ingame, in zerodeitor click the cp and keep clicking pg down untill you get to the last page, were it says:

HUDindex

this defines what the cp will be called ingame, example:

in HUDindex i put 4, the cp you wrote it in will be called cp 4 ingame...

Thats handy. Thanks Filipino. i was pretty sure it had nothing to do with fierfeks way.......

Actually, Fierfek is right, if the CP names in the .lua don't match the ones in ZE, your game will crash.

i know he was right in that regard, but in order to change the number of the cp which shows up ingame, filipino just posted the correct way. i know you need to define the cp there, but that doesn't affect what it is called ingame does it?
