Dark trooper not ingame [Solved]

Post by modmaster13 »

Uh...I can't seem to play as the dark trooper ingame. I double checked my lua, and I can't find any mistakes. Here is my setup teams:
Hidden/Spoiler:
ReadDataFile("sound\\nab.lvl;nab2gcw")
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\all.lvl",
"all_inf_rifleman",
"all_inf_rocketeer",
"all_inf_engineer",
"all_inf_sniper",
"all_inf_officer",
"all_inf_wookiee",
"all_inf_pilot",
"all_inf_marine",
"all_hover_combatspeeder")



ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\imp.lvl",
"imp_inf_rifleman",
"imp_inf_rocketeer",
"imp_inf_engineer",
"imp_inf_sniper",
"imp_inf_officer",
"imp_inf_dark_trooper",
"imp_inf_marine",
"imp_inf_pilot",
"imp_hero_emperor",
"imp_hover_fightertank")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\tur.lvl",
"tur_bldg_laser",
"tur_bldg_recoilless_lg")

ReadDataFile("SIDE\\gar.lvl",
"gar_inf_naboo_queen")



-- ReadDataFile("SIDE\\gar.lvl",
-- "gar_inf_soldier",
-- "gar_inf_naboo_queen",
-- "gar_inf_vanguard")





-- set up teams
SetupTeams{

Does the Dark Trooper not show up or something? What does your imp.req file look like? Is "imp_inf_dark_trooper" referenced in it? Does "imp_inf_dark_trooper" have its own REQ?

i got it lol i didn't even look carefully enough, ok so the two specials won't work in the same category so the last special read by the game is the marine and so the dark trooper will get canceled out the best thing to do in this case is to add
AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_inf_pilot", 1, 4)
AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_inf_marine", 1, 4)
under
sniper = { "imp_inf_sniper",1, 4},
officer = {"imp_inf_officer",1, 4},
special = { "imp_inf_dark_trooper",1, 4},
}
}
that should work! :D

Like ACE said, do this intead,
AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_inf_pilot", 1, 4)
AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_inf_marine", 1, 4)

here is an example from my lua that u can use as a reference

Code: Select all

SetupTeams{
		rep = {
			team = REP,
			units = 150,
			reinforcements = 350,
			soldier  = { "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",9, 55},
			assault  = { "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",1, 54},
			engineer = { "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",1, 54},
			sniper   = { "rep_inf_ep3_sniper",1, 24},
			officer = {"rep_inf_ep3_officer",1, 15},
			special = { "rep_inf_ep3_jettrooper",1, 10},
	        
		},
		cis = {
			team = CIS,
			units = 150,
			reinforcements = 350,
			soldier  = { "cis_inf_rifleman",9, 55},
			assault  = { "cis_inf_rocketeer",1, 54},
			engineer = { "cis_inf_engineer",30, 54},
			sniper   = { "cis_inf_sniper",1, 24},
			officer = {"cis_inf_officer",1, 15},
			special = { "cis_inf_droideka",1, 4},
		},
	}
    AddUnitClass(REP, "rep_inf_skytrooper", 1, 10)-- <-----added unit to rep side under all the rest
    AddUnitClass(CIS, "cis_inf_jetdroid", 1, 10)-- <-------added unit to cis side under all the rest it does not matter what side you want to add to

Try taking the pilot and the marine away from the first part of the script

Code: Select all

SetupTeams{
all={
team = ALL,
units = 19,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = {"all_inf_rifleman",9, 25},
assault = {"all_inf_rocketeer",1, 4},
engineer = {"all_inf_engineer",1, 4},
sniper = {"all_inf_sniper",1, 4},
officer = {"all_inf_officer",1, 4},
special = {"all_inf_wookiee",1, 4},
},

imp={
team = IMP,
units = 19,
reinforcements = 150,
soldier = {"imp_inf_rifleman",9, 25},
assault = {"imp_inf_rocketeer",1, 4},
engineer = {"imp_inf_engineer",1, 4},
sniper = {"imp_inf_sniper",1, 4},
officer = {"imp_inf_officer",1, 4},
special = {"imp_inf_dark_trooper",1, 4},
},
}

AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_inf_pilot",1, 4)
AddUnitClass(IMP, "imp_inf_marine",1, 4)
AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_pilot",1, 4)
AddUnitClass(ALL, "all_inf_marine",1, 4)
EDIT: i forgot a comma after the first } after the darktrooper, this will also cause a crash sorry! :runaway:

Learn to read and understand what the error logs are telling you.
The error is telling you what file has the error and which line number in the file the error was found at as well as what the problem likely is. You can edit these files with Notepad but it's best to use a code editor like NotePad++ for example since they have syntax highlighting that could help you identify mistakes such as missing brackets etc.

Also, instead of using AddUnitClass for the marine and pilot you could just use this in your SetupTeams section for example:
pilot = { "all_inf_pilot",1, 4},
marine = { "all_inf_marine",1, 4},

pilot and marine are already defined in the setup_teams.lua
