From 1 to 4 - default CPs, 5-8 your CPs. Maximum CPs can be 16

SetObjectTeam("CP3", 1)
SetObjectTeam("CP6", 1)
KillObject("CP7")

com_bldg_controlzone_Large.odf

AQT wrote:Did you replace a command post in ZE, or did you add a new command post in ZE?

EDIT: I see that you're going back editing your posts with new findings. This makes it really difficult to keep track of the flow of information and thus makes it harder to help you fix your problem.

Code: Select all

KillObject("CP7")

and it needs to be removed?

also any ideas on how to fix my custom command post, its really frustrating me.

Edit: what i said above is true. the commandpost now works although my custom one still does not.

KadeEclipse wrote:okay i will stop editing the previous post. also i replaced the maps default CP6 with my own CP6 and clicked the Copy From - Copy To buttons and renamed the labels and set the team of the CP to team 1.

So you're replacing two command posts then? "CP6" and "CP7"? Instead of replacing both CPs at the same, you should have started with just one to see if it works first. That would be less factors to deal with in finding the solution.
