Bots won't appear

[Captain_Mazda]

Not sure what I've done wrong in the LUA. I've checked it a thousand times - the bots just won't spawn in my map. Hero Assault works fine but I'm the lone soul on the battlefield in Conquest. I've checked and re-done all the spawn paths and everything but to no avail.

This is my Clone Wars LUA just as an example:

-- load the gametype script
ScriptCB_DoFile("ObjectiveConquest")
ScriptCB_DoFile("setup_teams")

-- REP Attacking (attacker is always #1)
REP = 1;
CIS = 2;
-- These variables do not change
ATT = REP;
DEF = CIS;


function ScriptPostLoad()


--This defines the CPs. These need to happen first
cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}
cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}
cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp5"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp6"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp7"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp8"}



--This sets up the actual objective. This needs to happen after cp's are defined
conquest = ObjectiveConquest:New{teamATT = ATT, teamDEF = DEF,
textATT = "game.modes.con",
textDEF = "game.modes.con2",
multiplayerRules = true}

--This adds the CPs to the objective. This needs to happen after the objective is set up
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp1)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp2)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp3)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp4)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp5)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp6)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp7)
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp8)

conquest:Start()

EnableSPHeroRules()

end

Any ideas?

[Teancum]

cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}

--This needs to be named EXACTLY what your label is for the CP in Zero.

[Captain_Mazda]

Yup, they are.

[Captain_Mazda]

I can't find anything wrong with my LUAs. I have no idea what to do next.

[xwingguy]

I have ran into this problem about half a dozen times now and I figured out why. If there is ANYTHING wrong with the syntax of almost any part of your script files (SED_cmn, etc.) they will not spawn. A lot of these errors aren't recognized by the compiler. To help in finding your error in the script, use the fact that the first error messes up every line below it in the script file.

[Murdocr]

did you realise you had 5 cp4's

cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}
cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}
cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp5"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp6"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp7"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp8"}

[Captain_Mazda]

Argh, I cannot find a single error. I know this because I touched nothing else but vehicles and units. It was all working yesterday when the map was just a prototype.

[dreadlordnyax]

did you realise you had 5 cp4's

cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}
cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}
cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp5"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp6"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp7"}
cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp8"}

this is probably worth a look at least...

[Captain_Mazda]

LOL, I can't believe I missed it!

LOL!!!

LOL!

Thank you so much and sorry for wasting everyone's time...LOL!

[Schizo]

Yeah... that would do it. I made that same exact mistake myself, actually... pretty embarassing...

[$iniSTar]

mistakes can be your best friends, I had a similiar thing happen last night , and my most current backup version was from Tuesday, today is saturday and im almost caught up with my progress from last night, except now my map looks better-never trust your luck guys always do backups every time you hit 2 hours of work.
