alright, i think i know what is wrong but i do not know how to solve it.

alright so i am making a custom map and i really want to add vehicles into to cause its huge. when i try and add them, i add them through odf as a normal object, and so when i run the game it either immedietly crashes or crashes when i get into the actual vehicle.

so, is the problem that i need to put a spawn vehicle thing in there? and if it is, could u give me a short description on how to do it? cause i am just blank here, and i wanna finish up this map bad.




thank you for your help

Going about adding vehicles the wrong way.

I suggest reading the DOCs, they tell you how to add vehicles :wink:

Just try it, If your still having trouble post here again and we'll help.

EDIT: Yes, you need to use the 'spawn vehicle thing' to add vehicles to the map.

yup, just as i suspected. well, i have a question, once i get the ....whatever its called that adds a spawn point for vehicles, how exactly do i get it actually in ther, cause i already read the docs that i hav(some got erased when my bro ws on the computer) and when i actually run the map nothing appears. but thank you for the help

Have you added the vehicles .req name (open up assets/sides/<SIDE YOU WANT>/ and open the <SIDE YOU WANT>.req with notepad to get a name) to the vehicle spawn (Little white arrow in ZE)?

Have you added the vehicles name from the .req in the .LUA so that its loaded into the game?

alright, it didnt work, there is something else i need to do, and i think it has 2 do with zero editor and what i put in the white array vehicle spawn thing, i have no idea what to put in it, i am trying to put in anything right now, but what i am tryin the hardest at is the N1 starfighter. so yeah, i dont know how to make it actually spawn.
