vehicle spawn ( help request)

[legacy-paulzombie65]

Hi I've been playing UT sence it started ....been on UT2k4 from release

I am new to mapping ...decided to see if i could use my experiance
to make some cool maps.

well HERE is my problem


I cant seem to get any vehicles in my maps . I put a factory in ,
it shows the vehicle type in the editor, but nothing spawns in game
I tried adding a static mesh of the vehicle in that spot as well as the factory, I get a cool static vehicle you CANT get in and drive .

I am not talking about custom vehicles just the standard UT ones.

I am sure I am missing some small thing here but I have no clue.

I have done a search in forums and poured over pages of post cant seem to find anything, some of the linked tuts dont exist anymore or have been moved , the ones i do find arent giving me what I need.


any help at all ? tuts that are active?

thanks in advance

1. check the gametype (level properties)
2. read tutorials on unreal wiki on how to get started

What gametype are you making as ONS factories only work in ONS (Use top level as-factory and select the vehicle in properties)

Raptor is ONSAttackCraft (Cheat sheets are good for finding out things like this)

I was working on both a ONS and a AS map .....using ONS factory in
the ONS maps and AS in that one the AS will spawn a vehicle when the game starts but i never get any respawns.

in ONS i never get any spawn, I have a power core and a Node
with in walking distance of the factory but nothing happens.

There is a properties setting in the as factory to make it respawn

and

the node has to be power (i.e. a team owns it) and you probably need both power nodes.

humm well the respawn in AS was fixed by changing the respawn timer looks like it was set to 1000 seconds ...thats a long time to wait huh.

Thanks....

as far as ONS i dont know ...I mean in the already made (default )
maps you start with a few vehicles and then have to claim nodes and get them powered up to get more spawns.....

If i capture all the nodes i get all the vehicles to spawn but i never get anything to start at the base .....I would have thought having the Core there would count as a powered node.....

prolly some setting i am missing but i keep looking at the properties and it all looks ok .
