CIS Auto Turret does not spawn and some units are white....

NEW Errors: Check my last post.

Hi guys. I am making a Sniper map in Assualt mode but for some reasons my Auto Turrets won't be spawned, meaning they are not released into the field.

I talked to some people and they were suggesting I use ClassLabel "armedbulding"

What I don't know is where do I apply this class to. The common odfs with exp in it or the units themselves. Here's an example. If somebody can tell what I did wrong and help to fix it through here, then I'd appreciate that. If I can't solve it because of inexperience in modding, then I might have to remove auto turrets....

[GameObjectClass]
ClassParent = "com_bldg_inf_autoturret"
GeometryName = "com_weap_inf_dropturret.msh"
ClassLabel = "armedbuilding"

[Properties]
// NOBODY has override textures for this!
//OverrideTexture = "com_prop_dropturret_imp"

BUILDINGSECTION = "BODY"
GeometryName = "com_weap_inf_dropturret"
ExplosionName = "imp_bldg_inf_autoturret_exp"

BUILDINGSECTION = "TURRET1"

TurretNodeName = "aimer_y"

TURRETSECTION = "TURRET1"

WeaponName = "imp_weap_inf_autoturret"
WeaponAmmo = "0"

AimerNodeName = "aimer_x"
FirePointName = "hp_fire"

[ExplosionClass]
ClassLabel = "explosion"

[Properties]
LifeSpan = "1.0"
Damage = "50.0"
DamageRadius = "4.0"
Shake = "4.0"
ShakeRadius = "4.0"
Effect = "com_sfx_landmine"

ArmorScale = "1.0"
HealthScale = "1.0"
ShieldScale = "0.5"

SoundProperty = "com_weap_obj_small_exp_frequent"

It would not be an explosion to do that.

1. An explosion is not a building.
2. The explosion is not the actual object. It's simply attached to it.
3. An explosion can't be armed. (other than itself)

From what I see, you don't need to screw with the classlabel, because it's already labelled a "portableturret" in the parent com_bldg_inf_autoturret. So, what are you doing with your files? Details!

Hold on so you're saying that files like cis_bldg_inf_autoturret need the code "portableturret" in the ClassLabel line? Would that make my turrets appear in the field??

Also, I haven't modified my turret files except add "armedbuilding" as Majin thought I should do.\

UPDATE: Ok I think I have may found the problem to the turrets because it is LUA-related.

Also, I was adding another unit, the Imperial Marine (imp_inf_marine). However, I got these errors.

Here is my LUA. I do not understand why line 96 is having an error. I thought I put a bracket. Can somebody identify my problem and tell what I need to change?

I aplogize for the bump but lately I decided not to add any more units and stick with the default numbers. What counts (for me) now is modifying the units and assing some new skins. Recently, some units in the game have become white (meaning no texture) when I was trying to modifying the imp_inf_rifleman with a new skin but it's making my Scout trooper white and my Heavy Trooper not appearing in the field.

I had a problem similar to that(Never solved it though, lost interest in the project before I could fix it.

), perhaps you should try creating a new world and copy the data necessary over to it.
EDIT: Did you hex edit imp_inf_stormtroope1 and it's lowrez version to referance the imp_inf_troope1? That may be the issue with the troper being white.
