I created a map that includes 1-ctf, and all I did was relocate the flag and homeregion to an above ground (height > 0) outpost. When I play the game, I can get to the flag where I put it, but I cannot capture it. I've tried a couple of placements of the homeregion, but I can't get the results to change. I made absolutely no changes to the .lua file. It has to be something simple, but I don't know what it is, and I haven't found a similar enough problem on this site. The only solution that I would like to avoid that I haven't explored is placing the homeregion and I guess the flag also back somewhere at height = 0. If I can fix this, my map's more or less good to go! Anyone have any wisdom for me?

Have a look at this:

I saw that. It didn't look like it applied, because the game doesn't crash, but I'll check it out and give it a shot.

I tried the tip, and it didn't affect any change in the results: I still can't capture the flag in my 1-ctf map!

Did you munge your map before testing it out again?

Post the first part of your 1Flag lua (just up to the point were you start to do the sides)

in my map i have the flag raised and it works fine so unless the homeregion isnt actually on the flag (well the flag in the homeregion) height shouldnt have an effect. double check the name of the region and the flag itself and if theres any details withing those, make sure theres no typos and they all match up. (simple typo will cause this)

yes, I did!

here's that part of my .lua I didn't change anything in the naming schemes, just a "flag" (com_item_flag) and "homeregion", exactly what was shipped, just moved. The flag is inside the homeregion, but the heights are different, which I think is odd; I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

you mean like one says "10" and the other "90" or something like that? cause thatll definetley cause this problem. (if you are looking at it from only on angle it may not necessarily be on the same spot)

The difference isn't quite that disparate.
The flag is at height 27 and the homeregion is at height 35.1939

when you look at it from all angles, the flag appears inside the homeregion. It's pretty easy to tell the way I have it set up. It doesn't make sense visually for the heights to match; is that an incorrect line of thought?

I really liked the flag on the raised platform, but I ended up moving it to the ground somewhere and now it works. If anyone has extra info on how to get what I'm doing to work, that would be WONDERFUL!

Is (was) the flag bouncing up and down? if its placed on a perfectly flat surface, you wont be able to pick it up. Why? no idea. but simply put a crooked object underneath the flag and it should work fine. That's how I fixed the problem in my Star Destroyer map, anyway.

im having the exact same problem, the flag that is placed on the ground can be picked up, moved, and everything, its just when you enter either capture region(team1 or team2) nothing happens, its just like you walked through different lighting.

heres my lua
