Its probably something really simple that i'm missing here. I placed a flag (copied from the corrusant map) into my map near a crashed gunship and named it holocron2. I then copied and pasted the following lua lines directly out of the cor script then modified to fit my map. The map doesn't seem to recognise that I placed the flag though because I get this error

Message Severity: 2
.\Source\LuaCallbacks_Mission.cpp(635)
Entity "holocron2" not found

Message Severity: 3
.\Source\LuaHelper.cpp(312)
CallProc failed: ERROR: flag holocron2 does not exist in the map
stack traceback:
[C]: in function `assert'
(none): in function `Start'
(none): in function `ActivateObjectiveSet'
(none): in function `Start'
(none): in function `BeginObjectives'

It doesn't crash, its just that there is no holocron near the gunship and the objective is uncompletable.
Here is the script portion from my .lua

Make sure you add the flag to your world's .req file. It's an easy step to overlook, I've made that mistake multiple times. Take a look at the .req for a shipped world with a flag objective to see where you need to add in the line for the flag.

I did that but its still not working. Error is exactly the same so I thought it may have something to do with the actual object, so I switched the object and script accordingly, in this case I copied over the felucia ctf objective and modified it to my ends, the object in-game is palced from the very beggining, its in the campaign layer and I never kill it, its a felucia powercell named powercell. I copied over the line from the felucia.req file that added the flag but still no results. IDK what the problem is

here is the bug
Message Severity: 3
.\Source\LuaHelper.cpp(312)

stack traceback:

here is the script I'm at a total loss as to what i'm doing wrong.

edit*
Its definantly something to do with my script. I tried using a com_item_flag as the target and it still doesn't work! What am I missing here? I place a the flag out of my common folder ingame, I name it flag1, label it flag1, set its team to 2. Then I go and make this script in my .lua, I munge and it doesn't work, the flag does not appear ingame... I got it to appear when I used com_item_flag_rep but I couldn't pick it up...

Check this.

THANK YOU!!!!!! It works!! Now that I've gotten all the objective types to work all I need to do is finish writing my script! You guys can expect to see a WIP thread posted some time this week and possibly a release of the final map some time this month.

You wellcome man!
