You probably don't have the turret loaded in your lua, causing a crash.

Actually, Teancum, I got that plenty of times on some space map attempts. And I had done everything properly, too (I went over everything at least ten times). I ran all checks - REQ, file heirarchy, _BUILD/Sides setup, LUA, ZE, _LVL_PC files.... It all checked out, but for whatever reason the turret refused to load. It never caused a CTD, though.

Well you're lucky then. I dunno what to tell you.

@ Eliminator - post your .lua.

here is my lua: but i don't think the turrets might be the reason for this, because it crashs when i see an acklay and on my other map it also don't crash

Regardless add "tur_bldg_laser" to your lua. The important thing when you can't figure out a crash is to eliminate every other possibility.

so i add this to my lua, but when i go to acklays it crashes...
Isn't it possible to play as an acklay?

Best thing to do would be to make a test map and put in the geo side in the lua and try to make the acklay a unit. This will let you know for sure if it can be played as a unit and eliminates any other things that may be happening in your current map as a source of the crash.

ok its always crashing: (from my new map "abc") is it really possible to play as an acklay?

yes

I've done it a few times; other people have done it a few times (ever play Dann's Battle of the Titans hunt mode?)

The infantry assets for the Convo Pack have playable Acklays in four different colors. I know they work as I built em' myself.

i can't get it working how did you do this?

The same way you load any custom side. I didn't do anything special really.

i added some wookies to the team and now :-O
it works
thanks to you
----------
now i tested it but it don't looks so good when acklays start to roll or to run xD
how can i "say" that acklays mustnt run, roll, kneel?
And how can i make them to jump (i change everything with jump but i don't work )

I disabled most of that because the Acklay don't have animations for those things. If you add them they'll get all distorted.
