Tanks Not Showing Up/Tanks not following plans

Post by Fluffy_the_ic »

So in my new map, I'm trying to add tanks. They aren't showing up. Huh, I feel like you should know that from the title. Still, I added the tanks' vehicle spawns in ZE, I added them to my lua, and then this is the entire part of my error log relating to hovers:

Re: Tanks Not Showing Up

how many hovers are you trying to add check to see if the memory pools are filled that's the only not model related thing i can think of

there should be a memory pool that's like SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityHover") or something like that with a number attached to it

I'm trying to add 4 tanks, and the number is 0. Hehe, I guess that could be my problem... I'll check to see if that works.

You mentioned a space map in another topic. Is this that map? If so, then you probably don't have that EntityHover line, seeing as the default munged space lua doesn't.

Oh, yeah. This is that map. And I rose the memory pools and this works now, this can be locked.
EDIT: New problem. After I got the tanks working, I noticed that the AI weren't getting in the republic tanks. The AI were getting in the CIS, though, but once they did, they immediately went to teh back of the hangar instead of out of the hangar and into the battlefield like I have their plans set up so they would.

This is a shot in the dark, but did you use "Hover" type for the planning? Because hover in planning = jedi/jet units.

Oh... Yeah, hehe. So what would I need to do then? What type of plans do tanks follow?
EDIT: Okay, I'm assuming that AATs and Rep Fightertanks follow medium planning. Okay, now I need to fix the fact that rep AI won't touch their tanks but CIS AI swarm to them.

Usually;

Code: Select all

AISizeType          = "MEDIUM"
The AISizeType indicates what planning path they follow, with "small," "medium," and "huge" being acceptable entries (I think). Just look at the odfs, they are usually fairly indicative of what you should be doing.

Skyhammer_216 was right, "hover" is also acceptable, as well as "soldier" (which it defaults to if none is specified).

Yeah, I figured it was medium after I looked at Mygeeto in ZE. Now I have one more problem, though, and that is that my CIS AI love to use tanks, but the republic AI won't touch them, and as soon as a CIS tank leaves where its vehicle spawn is positioned, a new one spawns, where a rep tank takes forever to spawn.

check your spawn times or spawn timer (if you haven't edited it or don't know what I'm talking about then it's most likely the default 45 seconds for both) next check to see that the rep tanks are either not on top of each other or near any objects. Also make sure there are no units where the the tanks are trying to spawn. Oddly enough BF2 follows one of the simplest rules of physics 2 objects cannot occupy the same space so your tank cannot occupy the same space as a unit or another tank and therefore cannot spawn

Well, the CIS hangar is a lot larger, so the tanks are farther apart. I'll check to make sure all of the times are right in ZE.
