my space map works, but there are no units. i think when they stopped spawning was after i added a custom ship. here is the bf2log thanks

You might not have your cps in your .lua. Post your .lua!

We are never required to have our CPs in the lua. They work fine without being in there. We only add them for the Conquest objective and most space maps don't have Conquest.

You are missing the SetupObjectives function, or at least the game can't find it when you call it from ScriptPostLoad. Post your lua.

The same thing hapened to me. It is in your LUA, esp. when you are loading stuff
check this part:
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\HAHAHA.lvl",
"beastly_speeder",
"flaming_snowman")

make sure you dont add an extra comma if its just one thing
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\uhoh.lvl",
"2_many_commas",)

or if you forgot the ")" at the end

ok. here is the c_cmn.lua here is the c_Diet Dr. Pepper.lua

You don't seem to have your cps in your .LUA!http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=20258
From when I just started modding...

cps aren't always necesary! you only need them for conqust.

Currently, your map has no Assault objective (the AI just does Deathmatch). If you wanted one, look at the SetupObjectives() function of a different space map. If you don't want that objective, then delete the SetupObjectives() line.

Those are the default space assault AI goals, Zerted. I have a suspicion the error may be related to SetupObjectives() being in such close proximity to function ScriptPostLoad(). I'm looking at Boarding Action's assault lua, and mine has a carriage return separating the two. Otherwise, that portion of the assault lua posted here looks virtually identical, aside from a few extras I threw into mine and the DisableSmallMapMiniMap() command that was deleted from this one. To me, it's the only thing that makes sense, considering the error.

The game is trying to call the a function named SetupObjectives but can't find it. It doesn't exist in any of fiddler_on_the_roof's posted code. I haven't looked at a working script to see where that function normally is. It should exist in one of the map's main scripts or in a script read in by the ScriptCB_DoFile calls. Check a working assault mission to see if you're missing a DoFile or the SetupObjectives funciton itself.

Edit: Oh, I see it now. function SetupObjectives is supposed to be the next function after function ScriptPostLoad. This is starting to get a little beyond my depth, and..well, here's what's missing.

space assault lua template wrote:function SetupObjectives()
assault = ObjectiveSpaceAssault:New{
teamATT = REP, teamDEF = CIS,
multiplayerRules = true
}

local repTargets = {
engines = { "cis_drive_1", "cis_drive_2" },
lifesupport = "cis-life-ext",
bridge = "cis-bridge",
comm = "cis-comms",
sensors = "cis-sensors",
frigates = "cis-frigate",
internalSys = { "cis-life-int", "cis-engines" },
}

local cisTargets = {
engines = "rep_drive_1",
lifesupport = "rep-life-ext",
bridge = "rep-bridge",
comm = "rep-comms",
sensors = "rep-sensors",
frigates = "rep-frigate",
internalSys = { "rep-life-int", "rep-engines" },
}

assault:SetupAllCriticalSystems( "rep", repTargets, true )
assault:SetupAllCriticalSystems( "cis", cisTargets, false )

assault:Start()
end

It's not simply missing, though, since this is part of the template lua. function SetupDestroyables() has suffered the same fate.
I think it was foul play. I'm pretty sure fiddler_on_the_roof got rid of the function, in the bedroom with the candlestick.

yeah, i got rid of those parts because i'm using custom models.

Do you know for sure what that part of the script does? I don't know much myself, but I'll tell you what I see. That portion of script defines the teams, sets multiplayerRules to true, and associates the objects given those names in ZE with the space assault mode. In fact, the mode is started from this code. The other missing chunk of code sets the linkages between the destroyable objects, like the internal and external life support systems, again using names associated with objects renamed as such in ZE.

With that said, instead of, say, giving your new models these names in ZE, or changing the script's names and renaming the objects in ZE, or even cutting individual lines that wouldn't be needed, you just cut out whole sections of code without worrying about what exactly they do? How does the use of custom models necessitate this? *waves trout threateningly*

I think the AI issue lay in the missing objectives code, since that's where the instruction is given to start the mode. If the mode hasn't started, how does the game know when the AI can spawn?

yeah. i got it to work. thanks guys.
