okay here is my problem, i'm making a race map and i want to be able to switch vehicles during the race, i.e. get off the mongoose and jump on a warthog. however, when i try to test the map in custom game, all of the banshees, warthogs, and ghosts disappear. The falcons, scorpians, and mongooses are still there though. vehicles on map is set to Map Default and i dont know what to do. Is there any way to pull this off or am i screwed?
I cannot say for sure, as I have no idea. From what you described, it could simply be that race was not well implemented at the engine level...
In Race, you always get warped to the default vehicle. In fact, if you get into a vehicle, it'll de-spawn and be replaced with the default vehicle. Those select vehicles may be vanishing purely because they are other options for Race starting vehicles.
I would assume it's this working against you. Try looking at the vehicles on map setting under weapons and vehicles.
unfortunately, that is not the problem. strange how the only vehicles disappearing are the ones usable for race.
