.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I did the tutorial for the mg42 ai on .map
I did everything just as was told, but the mg42 guys doesn't even spawn.
Here is the error that the console comes with:

if (self.spawn_left == NIL || self.spawn_left <= 0) (global/mg42_active.scr, 151)
if (self.spawn_left == NIL || self.spawn_left ^

here is what i wrote in my script file:

Code: Select all

$mg42_bunker1 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42
	$mg42_bunker2 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42
	$mg42 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42
	$mg42_hill thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42

Does someone knows what i did wrong?

here is a line from tha script

self.gunner = $(self.targetname + "_gunner")

do you have a $mg42_bunker1_gunner in your map?

and one for the other guns too ?

also these lines

self.spawn_left = self.spawn

did you use these for your guns key:spawn value:5 //number of spawns here

wait 1
if (self.gunner == NULL && self.spotter == NULL)
thread mg42_spawn

end

//*****************************************************************************************************************
mg42_spawn:

if (self.spawn_left == NIL || self.spawn_left <= 0)
end

I checked everything what u said. I added a gunner, but when i shoot the gunner, there did not respawn another gunner, and i get the same errors again. So does as anyone else know what i do wrong.

In the mg42_active script are these senteces:

self.spawner_gunner = $(self.targetname + "_spawner_gunner")

and

self.gunner = spawn self.model_gunner gun "mg42" ammo_grenade "5" origin self.spawner_gunner.origin

But the console give the errors that self.gunner is NIL. So i think there is same sort of an error in that script. I'm right with that?

If your gunner and spotter aren't respawning, its probably the pathnodes setup incorrectly. The mg42_active.scr works fine!

Make sure you've got an $mg42_bunker1_spawner_gunner and an $mg42_bunker1_spawner_spotter (if needed) pathnode, this is where the gunner and spotter will spawn. Then add two more pathnodes closer to the gun called $mg42_bunker1_gunner_path and $mg42_bunker1_spotter_path (if needed), this is where they will runto before acting as a gunner and spotter.

I made an mistake, $ai_model have to be german_winter_type2.tik, but i used human/german_winter_type2.tik .

But i have another question, i made a bunker just as shown on manstein 's site.

But the mg42 has a higher position than when i use a sandbag small semicircel. So when the AI want to get the mg42 i sit down a bit but can't use the mg42. So does some one know how the make the gunner stands up instead of sitting down?
