At the moment i have an nondrivable ATSt prop in my Mos Eisley Map.
I would like to change the model to Gunship or something like that if you switch from GCW to CW era.
Can anyone explain me how to do it?

There should be a separate layer for each era. Just place the prop in that layer, and it'll only show when that layer is called for. It's in the docs as well.

Or you could place them both normally and use KillObject on the one you don't want in each specific game mode. For example, the Clone Wars lua would have the KillObject function delete the AT-ST, and the Galactic Civil War lua would have KillObject delete the LA-AT. No need for extra layers.

Well my map has gamemode layers like conquest flags and ELI layers but there arn´t any era layers.
guess i would need to create them.
But the Killobject function seems to be easier todo. Hm might search the docs for more info about it.

The layer thing is how it's done. Take a look at Dagobah in ZeroEdit, then look at the LUAs to see how the loaded the LAAT/X-Wing. It's not hard, just not documented.

Guess it´s easier with layers if you have a couple of objects to change but i only have 2 so the killobject function seems to work fine.
