Assuming you set up a vehicle spawn point correctly (it sounds like you did, plus, it's fairly self-explanatory in the docs), your only problem is that you didn't call for them in the .lua.

Every time you add a new unit or new vehicle to your map, you need to call for them in the .lua under the side to which they belong and the .lua needs to be edited so that it calls a customized side. In this case,

SPR .lua wrote:ReadDataFile("SIDE\\imp.lvl",
"imp_hero_darthvader",
"imp_hero_emperor",
"imp_hover_speederbike",
"imp_hero_bobafett")

Should be:

SPR .lua wrote:ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\imp.lvl",
"imp_hero_darthvader",
"imp_hero_emperor",
"imp_hover_speederbike",
"imp_hero_bobafett")

The "dc:" prefix calls for downloadable content. Any time you change a skin, add a vehicle, character, edit an .odf (?) (I'm not completely sure on that), you need to add the dc: before the side you modify.

well i added the dc: but it still doesn't work

Actually, Maveritchell, you only need to add "dc:" if you have a custom side. If he's using the shipped speederbike, then he doesn't need it.

@odi-wan - are the Vehicle spawns in the same layer as the CPs? (ususally conquest) If they aren't, delete them and remake them in the conquest layer.

I made them in the base layer cause there is just hero assault as game mode

Then put them in the assault layer.

Make you sure that you set the vehicle spawn in the control zone of the CP and the category that you set the vehicle name (Class IMP ATK or Class IMP DEF).

what does the imp atk or imp def mean?

The ATK mean how team is the attacker and the DEF the team is the defender.

You can read more in the Getting Started file in the Mod tools.

Well in your LUA it say that the Alliance is the attacker so try to put the vehicle name on the Class ALL ATK.

but its an imp vehicle

It doesn't matter. ALLATK just referst to what team is in control of the cp the vehicle spawn is associated with. You would put the speederbike's odf in there to make it spawn when the rebels have that CP (if they are attacking)

All of this is explained in the getting started doc located in BF2_ModTools\documentation. Believe me, that doc will be your best friend. It explains how to create, munge, add CPs and vehicle spawns, and do many other basic things to your map.

so you mean when the cp belongs to the rebels i have to write it into the REBATK and when it belongs tot the imp i have to write it in the IMPATK or?

Is imp_hover_speederbike added to your imp.req?
Do you have a imp_hover_speederbike.req file?
Are they correctly executed? Missing quotes? Brackets?

Side req's (imp.req located in your base imp sides folder) need "lvl" and then the listing of all the content your loading from that side.
Indivudual req's (imp_hover_speederbike.req located in /imp/req) need "class" and then the odf you assigned to it.

If you missed any of these, then your bikes will never spawn.
Nor will any log tell you that you messed this up.

well the imp_hover_speederbike is in the imp.req.... and i also wrote imp_hover_speederbike to classIMPATK cause the cp belongs to imp but the speeders still dont spawn... are there any special things with adding speeders on a hero assault map?

about the imp.req is it enough if it is in assets or does it have to be in my project

if you don't have dc: in your lua file it can stay in the assats folder. That is if you didn't modify the bike like give it a new skin maybe.
If you did modify it you need the dc: in the lua file and you will have to have the imp folder copied to your project including the .req file.

My guess is you didn't modify the bikes so remove the dc: so the game reads the files from the original imp folder.

well i removed the dc: but it still doesn't work

I don't know if this is a problem or not but are your 'readdatafile" lines out of order? The shipped maps always call things in a certain order (something like: units in order, heros, vehicles.) Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Thats all I can think of.

If someone can post a script to force the vehicle to spawn (create odf, or something) that would determine if the error was from the spawn point or the vehicle.

Wouldn't the dc: not matter, assuming he had a modded speeder bike, the old one would appear instead.

Well i have a question:

The CP is from the layer conquest or is one create for you???

the cp is the base layer
