there's a thing i usually use in SH from script that's slightly mrore advanced but faster, you don't use actors but you probably want a trigger with setthread. put this line in the thread you setthread...
spawn models/human/german_panzer_shutze.tik // after this you can add //stuff like origin and gun that you normally fnd in AI properties.
so, if you wanted to spawn a shutze as such at 10 10 10 (x y z axis) with a mp40, youd place this total.....
spawn models/human/german_panzer_obershutze.tik "gun" "mp40" "origin" "10 10 10"
sorry if that exceeded lines....
if you need more clarity let me know...

There should be one 'main' script: mymapname.scr, then there is a precache script: mymapname_precache.scr, the latter is used to precache models and such, and the first is where your scripting goes, so to answere your question, it needs to go in the mymapname.scr.

so, if i wanted to spawn a crate in a map, i would put the script in the mymapname.scr?
for example, where would i put this:
local.static = spawn script_model
local.static model "static/indycrate.tik"
local.static.origin = ( -591.85 -647.96 668.13 )
local.static.angles = ( 0 90 0 )
local.static solid

well of course you should change 'mymapname' to whatever it is.
I think this is right:
Code: Select all
level waittill prespawn
local.static = spawn script_model
local.static model "static/indycrate.tik"
local.static.origin = ( -591.85 -647.96 668.13 )
local.static.angles = ( 0 90 0 )
local.static solid
level waittill spawn

i tried this and put tho origin where i wanted it, but it did not spawn.
is the coordinates different in spearhead than in Alied Assault?

Maybe try putting it after the waittill spawn, no the coords (vector) are the same in SH. We need a pro here to confirm this.

Let's try this:
Code: Select all
level waittill spawn
thread spawncrate
spawncrate:
local.static = spawn script_model
local.static model "static/indycrate.tik"
local.static.origin = ( -591.85 -647.96 668.13 )
local.static.angles = ( 0 90 0 )
local.static solid
end
Anyone for suggestions?

Post your whole script and what the map name is and the script name and what directories you used for them . spawning is an easy thing to do so we need and idea of what you are doing wrong .
