Vehicle spawn properties in lua

I'm tryin to make a 2nd version of geonosis with both eras without having to put a world into the addon folder. It works fine but i tryed to make the gcw vehicles spawn by setting the vehicle spawns properties in the lua using this code(and a few variations of it for the diferent spawns and vehicles):

Code: Select all

	SetProperty("ATTE1", "ClassImpAtk", imp_walk_atat)

but it they didn't appear in game so i looked at the error log and it came up with this:

Code: Select all

Message Severity: 2
.\Source\LuaCallbacks_Mission.cpp(635)
Entity "ATTE1" not found

i know the vehicle spawn names are right because i looked them up in the world file in the assets and in the lvl file in the game.
Anyone got any ideas why?

thx, Abiter

Why are you doing this via lua? Wouldn't adding the AT-AT to the ClassImpAtk space in the vehicle spawn properties through ZE do the job?

He doesn't want to put a World in the addon folder. Just an addme and a small lvl file with just a LUA script, to save space.

Does your mod load the right layers, does it work at all?

I was under the impression it might be a replacement for the stock map, hence the question.

Is there any sort of case sensitivity that might come into play? Also, is command properly coded? I see the unit odf specified isn't in quotes, but that may be my lacking experience with scripts talking.
