Hello, community. My new invasion map is now in Alpha testing phase, and I have done some large play tests, and have decided to add a few objects to help with the balance of the game. One is a weapon (Focus Rifle) and a man cannon. What I want to do with these, however, is this: - AFTER phase 2 begins (Assault Phase), The focus rifle spawns after 30 seconds. - AFTER phase 2 begins (Assault Phase), the man cannon appears (or becomes active) after 2 min, 30 seconds. I have the focus rifle set as so: - Spawn time: 30 - Spawn Sequence: 2 - Place at Start: True - Game Type Label: Inv_Weapon Man cannon: -Spawn time: 150 -Spawn Sequence: 2 -Place at Start: True -Gametype label: INV_MANCANNON Odd thing is, The vehicles I have set to appear after 30 seconds after phase 3 begins works fine, but I can't get the man cannon or the weapon to spawn at the times I want. Instead, the timer seems to begin at the start of the round. If you can answer this question, or at least throw me in the right direction, you will be rewarded with a plate of (metaphorical) cookies.
Try deleting the object and set the new values fresh. For some reason, a lot of my objects get 'stuck' in their first setting. For example, I was trying to make two structure elements phase in during round two. While setting them up, I got something wrong. I went back to change it, and accidentally deleted one of the objects. I replaced the object and gave them both the correct settings. When I got into the map, only the deleted/replaced piece worked correctly.
dont put a spawn timer on the, it'll make them not spawn. Just have it spawn in a certain phase, and youll be golden
Bungie.net : Invasion + Forge! : 9/16/2010 9:09 AM PDT This guide by Bungie has everything you need, it even explains the phase options and how to make them work.
Thank you for the link to bungie.net for those who dont know, but that was the very first thing I went to when I started to finalize the map (spawns, gates, etc.) However, it only covers timed spawning for vehicles, not other objects. I still can't resolve my problem.
