I'm trying to set up an objective in which you have to capture a holocron and bring it back to a CP (cp6 in my case).

Heres the objective (I've used the mustafar and the coruscant CTF objectives as sources):
The relevant errors I get are:
Although there IS of course a item on my map called "cor1_item_holocron"

I also set up a region and a spawn path as they're named in the objective

In-game the objective shows up but doesn't start

Looks like you didn't add "FlagItem" to your memory pools. See stock campaigns for further detail.

I've added the line:
Now the objective works fine, but somehow I have no enemys now

Only error left regarding my objective:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Message Severity: 2
C:\Battlefront2\main\Battlefront2\Source\LuaCallbacks_Mission.cpp(635)
Entity "flagcapture" not found

Make sure your region is correctly named in both fields (ID and properties should both be "flagcapture"). You're probably not having any AI spawn because the objective is either failing to set up its goals as the result of not having a region to point to, or because you simply don't have any AI goals to start with. I'd guess the former, but you'll know once you fix that region.

EDIT: found it out, I've set the AI goal up to defend the holocron

thanks for your fast help mav

EDIT
I have one more question regarding this objective

How can I avoid that the flag from spawning from beginning until the objective starts

I've tried with KillObject and RespawnObject but then the flag just spawned at some random position under the surface.

Take a look at how the stock campaigns do it. (Coruscant is a good example.)

I've added these lines now:
Do I have to delete the object in ZE now, since it's being spawned on a spawnpath?

As it is now, it doesn't work

I can't tell what your problem is without seeing it in context. What you want to do is place a flag - of the same class as the one you want to spawn - in ZE. In your script, you can kill that original flag object, then use CreateEntity to create a flag of the same type on a path node.

Remember that CreateEntity uses this format:
CreateEntity(objectclass, GetPathPoint(pathname, pathnode), newobjectname)

Heres the whole objective as it is now

And what doesn't work? Do you have an object placed in your world that uses the .odf "yav_flag_bomb.odf?"

The object is placed in ZE, the problem I have is that the flag is on the map from beginning of the mission (although it should spawn at objective 5)

And if i remove the object the flag doesn't spawn

Are you killing the flag you placed in ZE? The objective behind using CreateEntity is to make a new copy of a flag.

Now it works, I didn't know about the copy

Thank you again for the great help
