I've been trying to make BFII maps, but I keep getting a problem where when I make new command posts, no NPCs spawn there, I have the spawn paths, and I can spawn, but the NPC's don't. It's notable that this only happens when I make command posts, when I just move the old ones, spawning is fine.

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 8:58 pm**

Did you add the new command posts into your .lua?

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2013 9:19 pm**

I thought I did, they all have the same names as the old ones.

Could you post:

The text in ZE can be a bit hard to tell upper case from lower case. Are you sure that your capture reigon and spawnpaths have CP in upper case letters and the first letter of the second word also capitalized?

I'm pretty sure I've got the capitals the same, but it's probably fine, because I can spawn without trouble, just no other NPCs do

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 7:15 pm**

Oh hm. Have you tried cleaning?

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2013 7:24 pm**

I tried a manual clean, yes.

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2013 2:20 pm**

Do you get any munge errors? Is cp2 the one you added? You did type cp2_capture(CP2_Capture) and cp2_spawn(CP2_Spawn) in uppercase in ZE, change all uppercase to lowercase to rule this out as a problem. Your LUA looks fine.

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 3:32 pm**

Hmm, changed it all to lower case, but no difference with spawning.

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 3:36 pm**

Make also sure not to have a space at the end of the cps name in ZE.
Happened to me a while ago, my cp was named "cp2 " in ZE but of course that isn't displayed. Took me hours to find it...

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 4:09 pm**

I'm pretty much certain the problem isn't a capitalisation or spelling difference, because I CAN spawn, the NPC's are the ones refusing to do so. They are able.

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 4:39 pm**

Could there be a problem with weight values in ZeroEditor?

KaskDaxxe wrote:...I CAN spawn, the NPC's are the ones refusing to do so...

This is the sign of a broken map. Is cp2 the only thing you added to this map? There is obviously a mistake in your workflow since creating new command posts didn't suddenly break for everyone. Once again, do you get any munge errors? Can you provide details on everything you did to set up this command post? Unless your map has or will have more than 4 CPs, there is no reason to create more when you can just move existing ones and delete unused ones from the default layout.

AceMastermind wrote: Can you provide details on everything you did to set up this command post?

Just the usual, I created the object in the conquest layer, created the path for spawning and the region for capturing, I named everything the same as the ones in the LUA.

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 5:32 pm**

You seem to be dancing around the questions, what happens if you create a new map and do nothing to it but add a 5th CP for team 1? Are you still the only one that spawns?

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2013 5:36 pm**

Here's an easy way to test if it's something wrong with the CP setup or not:
In the LUA add these lines below conquest:Start()
ClearAIGoals(1)
ClearAIGoals(2)
AddAIGoal(1,"Deathmatch",1000)
AddAIGoal(2,"Deathmatch",1000)

In Deathmatch, if the AI can spawn, they will -- but in conquest, they won't if, due to some setup issue, they don't see any CPs to defend or capture.

Interesting, I did that, and sure enough, they spawned.

My main map however, seems to be crashing alot, I'll post whether it works or not if I fix it.

EDIT: Thank you thank you THANK YOU

Thanks EVERYONE, it all works now, expect me to post maps soon!
