thats either the capture region or the actual capture region object. you may have accidentally deleted them or renamed them in ZE. did you do anything in ZE?

.... hmmm ok after looking into ZE... the name of the carriers is the name of the object..... i think my map was just made that way lol ill edit it to what the lua says cross ure fingers

edit* ok i found the problem =D i might have deleted one of the things so it didnt have a team on it lol TY guys.... now i can finally get on to the more stressful stuff =P

Post your lua. We can't tell you much without it.

If it is GCW CTF that is crashing that is because the LUA is created wrong. This is true for 1CTF as well.
This is what is created:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ScriptCB_DoFile("setup_teams")

ScriptCB_DoFile("ObjectiveCTF")

	--  Empire Attacking (attacker is always #1)

    local ALL = 2

    local IMP = 1

    --  These variables do not change

    local ATT = 1

    local DEF = 2

function ScriptPostLoad()

	SoundEvent_SetupTeams( ALL, 'all', IMP, 'imp' )

    SetProperty("flag1", "GeometryName", "com_icon_republic_flag")

    SetProperty("flag1", "CarriedGeometryName", "com_icon_republic_flag_carried")

    SetProperty("flag2", "GeometryName", "com_icon_cis_flag")

    SetProperty("flag2", "CarriedGeometryName", "com_icon_cis_flag_carried")

                --This makes sure the flag is colorized when it has been dropped on the ground

    SetClassProperty("com_item_flag", "DroppedColorize", 1)

    --This is all the actual ctf objective setup

    ctf = ObjectiveCTF:New{teamATT = REP, teamDEF = CIS, captureLimit = 5, textATT = "game.modes.ctf", textDEF = "game.modes.ctf2", hideCPs = true, multiplayerRules = true}

    ctf:AddFlag{name = "flag1", homeRegion = "team1_capture", captureRegion = "team2_capture",

                capRegionMarker = "hud_objective_icon_circle", capRegionMarkerScale = 3.0, 

                icon = "", mapIcon = "flag_icon", mapIconScale = 3.0}

    ctf:AddFlag{name = "flag2", homeRegion = "team2_capture", captureRegion = "team1_capture",

                capRegionMarker = "hud_objective_icon_circle", capRegionMarkerScale = 3.0, 

                icon = "", mapIcon = "flag_icon", mapIconScale = 3.0}

	ctf:Start()

    EnableSPHeroRules()

 end

This is what it should be:

Hidden/Spoiler:

ScriptCB_DoFile("setup_teams")

ScriptCB_DoFile("ObjectiveCTF")

	--  Empire Attacking (attacker is always #1)

    local ALL = 2

    local IMP = 1

    --  These variables do not change

    local ATT = 1

    local DEF = 2

function ScriptPostLoad()

	SoundEvent_SetupTeams( ALL, 'all', IMP, 'imp' )

        SetProperty("flag2", "GeometryName", "com_icon_alliance_flag")

        SetProperty("flag2", "CarriedGeometryName", "com_icon_alliance_flag_carried")

        SetProperty("flag1", "GeometryName", "com_icon_imperial_flag")

        SetProperty("flag1", "CarriedGeometryName", "com_icon_imperial_flag_carried")

                --This makes sure the flag is colorized when it has been dropped on the ground

    SetClassProperty("com_item_flag", "DroppedColorize", 1)

    --This is all the actual ctf objective setup

    ctf = ObjectiveCTF:New{teamATT = IMP, teamDEF = ALL, captureLimit = 5, textATT = "game.modes.ctf", textDEF = "game.modes.ctf2", hideCPs = true, multiplayerRules = true}

    ctf:AddFlag{name = "flag1", homeRegion = "team1_capture", captureRegion = "team2_capture",

                capRegionMarker = "hud_objective_icon_circle", capRegionMarkerScale = 3.0, 

                icon = "", mapIcon = "flag_icon", mapIconScale = 3.0}

    ctf:AddFlag{name = "flag2", homeRegion = "team2_capture", captureRegion = "team1_capture",

                capRegionMarker = "hud_objective_icon_circle", capRegionMarkerScale = 3.0, 

                icon = "", mapIcon = "flag_icon", mapIconScale = 3.0}

	ctf:Start()

    EnableSPHeroRules()

 end

Basically change all the REP and CIS references to IMP and ALL
Oh and make sure the capture regions and everything is correct

The errors you were getting in the first post are refering to the capture regions as defined on the appropriate layer in ZE.
Go into the region tab and when you select a region make sure something is in both boxes at the top and the one on the side. I forget thier names
right now and I am not at my home comp to check. And make sure the names are the same as what is in the LUA (and/or the error message which is the same thing). If nothing is in the right most box at the top (I have seen this before) just type in the same thing that is in the box on the right side.
It should be team1_capture (or team2)

checked that it all fine... i even had obi help me on xfire... me and him cant find a thing wrong..... could it be that somehow the entire map just didnt munge well and i need to clean and munge it again

*edit... nope it still crashes.... i cant figure out why it crashes..... i checked ZE i have everythign right in my lua i have everything right.... is there anything else that can poissibly be the cause?????

Post by **FragMe!** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 10:42 pm

Are you still getting the same error?

destos · Post by **destos** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 10:45 pm

yeppers.... but recently i had a idea... a very kool idea... i realized that i had remade the capture region.... could the error be that its not the exact size that the lua says (like when it says capture marker radius=3.0) could it be i need to fix it for my certain capture regoin that i edited????

Post by **FragMe!** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 11:19 pm

the capture region can be any size, the thing you are refering to is the glowing cone shape thing.
the important thing is the names are right which you have confirmed is.

now that i have thought about it.... i beleive that this is a massive glitch.... i mean looking back at the lua it says

and yet if it didnt know where the capture region was would it also ask for flag1 carrier for team1???? and the same with team2????
