Spawning Vehicles

trainmaster611 · Post by **trainmaster611** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 11:53 am

Yes I've tried to search for this topic

So I've created the control zone for the associated cp and I've filled out all the necessary forms and specified my vehicle, but when I play in game, its just not there

Did you call it in your LUA?

Is the vehicle in the right slots in the vehicle spawn?

trainmaster611 · Post by **trainmaster611** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 12:12 pm

I know its in the right vehicle spawn and all that. What do you mean by LUA? Are you sure you have to mess with that for a vehicle to work?

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 12:16 pm

Yes, you need to call the vehicle under the ReadDataFile from the side. Otherwise, it doesn't get loaded, so the Vehicle Spawn can't use it.

Post the LUA, I'll show you what to do.

Ugh! I'm some kind of genius!

I completely forgot where the LUA is

Also, there's a page down button when you're inserting a vehicle spawn. Make sure you're filling out both the DEF and ATK values for each side. (I usually put the same thing in for DEF and ATK values)

Just so you know, I'm removing the 4 cps in the middle

And Teancum, I have noticed that but when I push Page Down nothing happens so I've assumed thats as far as it goes. And by Page Down I mean I've tried the button on the screen and on the keyboard.

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 12:59 pm

for the LUA, if you wanted to add a rebel combatspeeder you would change this:

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_inf_rifleman",
"all_inf_rocketeer",
"all_inf_sniper",
"all_inf_engineer",
"all_inf_officer",
"all_inf_wookiee",
"all_hero_hansolo_tat")

to this:

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_inf_rifleman",
"all_inf_rocketeer",
"all_inf_sniper",
"all_inf_engineer",
"all_inf_officer",
"all_inf_wookiee",
"all_hero_hansolo_tat",
"all_hover_combatspeeder")

For the Page down issue, are you using a com_item_vehicle_spawn from data_***\common\odfs? do you have it selected?

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 2:17 pm

yeah...

Here: try this:

First make a control region for your cp...

place a vehicle spawn item inside the control region...

assign the vehicle spawn item to the cp it is placed next to...

if you want to add a rebel combat speeder... add under ATKreb and DEFreb its odf name...

call it up in your LUA...

then munge...

trainmaster611 · Post by **trainmaster611** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 4:43 pm

Ok I added the LUA line and I even completely redid the vehicle spawn placement and refilled out the necessary fields just to make sure I did everything right...and guess what? No vehicle!

Here's some info that might be affecting it

:

1)ctf controlzone

2)^control zone is designated as Team: 1

2)Vehicle I'm placing is rep_vwing

3)There is still a CW era

4)I'm placing the vehicle name in ImpATK

And I still can't Page Down! :evil:

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 4:48 pm

It's rep_fly_vwing, not rep_vwing....

you need to page down, your putting it in the IMP slot. I don't know why you would not be able to page down, I have no problem. (you are pressing page down on the screen, right?)

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 4:50 pm

did you assign the v wing to cp1 or whatever cp you are associating it to?

what you do to do that, is when you place a vehicle spawn.... there will be something at the right of the screen... enter cp1 or whatever cp you're adding it to at the top bar... then add the V wing's odf name in the ImpATK and ImpDEF bars.... You can't page down?!?!... What you do is click pagedn at the bottom of the thing... if it doesn't turn the page.. then there's a problem... oh yeah... and make sure.. you have a control region for your cp and that th vehicle spawn is in the control region.

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 5:23 pm

hmm.. i see train's problem... i try to add a droidfighter in my map but it doesn't show up either. Is adding a flying vehicle different from adding a ground vehicle?

Hebes24 · Post by **Hebes24** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 5:35 pm

See the Getting Started Doc for the proper way to do vehicle spawns, make sure you guys did the same.

And no, Adding flyers is the same as adding ground vehicles.

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 5:45 pm

heh, got it Hebes... didn't add the right odf name

.... is the hardest thing to do in mapping. In my opinion. I never could get those [wordnotallowed]ing CIS Tanks to spawn...

Do the combat speeders work? They never do for me.....

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 6:17 pm

despite all my efforts I CANNOT get those gian speeders into my map... what exactly is their odf name?

trainmaster611 · Post by **trainmaster611** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 6:34 pm

Ok, so I already added a flying vehicle and associated it with the cp. I did exactly what the doc said and I already new the file name was rep_fly_vwing. I was just making it short for the post.

[EDIT]:I found out how to make it go down. I had to make my screen resolution go up and...tada! I found like 20 new tools I couldn't see before. I could also press the button and I found impDEF and I filled out the vwing there and erased it from impATK

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 6:48 pm

so it works?
