Problems adding VIP mode

[Dreadnot9]

I've been attempting to integrate Mav's VIP mode from DTII using this tut on the stock Tantive IV map.
So far, I can't get either VIP unit to spawn.

EDIT: It might be important to mention that the other units spawn just fine (both teams), and that the reinforcement counts are 80 and 30 for either team (randomly selected).

Code: Select all

VIPHeroREP = rep_hero_yoda
VIPHeroCIS = cis_hero_grievous

If you don't enclose your strings in quotation marks, lua assumes you're calling variables and not strings.

Worked like a charm, thanks Mav.
Now I'm getting a green arrow (and marker on the map) present over the CP from which the VIP spawned, I'm wondering if this is how it's supposed to be, or if this arrow should follow the VIP?

[willinator]

It depends which team you are on. If you're trying to kill the VIP, the marker follows them. If you're defending them, the marker remains where they spawned.

You're correct, thanks.
I just played through DT in VIP to check as well.
