Spawning vehicles

I'm having trouble spawning vehicles. ATTE's are spawning, but other vehicles don't.

.lua:
function ScriptInit()

ReadDataFile("ingame.lvl")

SetMaxFlyHeight(90)
SetMaxPlayerFlyHeight (90)

SetMemoryPoolSize ("ClothData",20)
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo",50) -- should be ~ 2x number of jedi classes
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::State",650) -- should be ~12x #Combo
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Transition",650) -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Condition",650) -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Attack",550) -- should be ~8-12x #Combo
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::DamageSample",6000) -- should be ~8-12x #Combo::Attack
SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Deflect",100) -- should be ~1x #combo

ReadDataFile("sound\\geo.lvl;geo1cw")
ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\cis.lvl",
"cis_fly_geofighter")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\rep.lvl",

"cis_hover_aat")
ReadDataFile("SIDE\\geo.lvl",
"gen_inf_geonosian")

Memorypools:

-- Level Stats

AddWalkerType(0, 4) -- special -> droidekas
AddWalkerType(2, 3) -- 2 spider walkers with 2 leg pairs each
AddWalkerType(3, 0) -- 2 attes with 3 leg pairs each

Ok settings in Zeroedit:

Control region:

I used imageshack... I like http://www.maj.com much better, faster in uploading.

i think the problem is, that you CP is called CP13 and in the vehicle spawn you write cp13.

No I renamed them both again and gave them the exact same name, but still no Hailfire, or Spider Walkers, or Gunships.

Hit the 'page down' button in the 'object instance' window and make sure you filled out both the ATK and DEF values for each faction.

hi all ,my first post ! concerning the vehicle spawn,i had the same trouble !
in your coding ,you have '-- ClearWalkers() '.take off the '-- ' leaving just clear walkers.
hope that sorts it.
im a noob myself to this ,so not sure if im right ,but thats my guess.

Actually, ClearWakers() removes all walkers from the map.

Welcome to GT, Uknightbreed.

also the coding after ......

on my map script i have.........

AddWalkerType(1, 4) -- 1x2 (1 pair of legs)
AddWalkerType(2, 4) -- 2x2 (2 pairs of legs)
AddWalkerType(3, 1) -- 3x2 (3 pairs of legs)

which works fine.i havnt typed in the vehicle names on this script part like you.

again ,i may not be right as im a noob,but its works for me.

I now have the values put in both ATK and DEF, but still they're not spawning

I had only put in DEF, because CIS is the DEF team, and republic ATK.

Ok, I fixed it!

:D:D

I saw that the ATTE spawn points were assigned to team 1, republic. The other were assigned to team 0, nothing. So I assigned all spawn points to a team, and it worked!

You do need to fix the memory pool for the AT-TE's though so we don't crash.

AddWalkerType(3, 0) --change the last number to the number of AT-TE's in the map (the first number referers to the pairs of legs a walker has)

Is there a list of all the zeroedit vehicle names somewhere?

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 4:45 pm

squipple, as far as I know, such a list hasn't been written yet...
However, you can do it yourself by looking at the following path : "[Side's label]\REQ". There, you'll find vehicles' *.REQ files, whose label respects this synthax : "[Side's prefix]_[Class of vehicles ("fly", "hover", "walker", etc...)]_[Name of the vehicle]"
