Hi everyone, I have been working on a dominion map for a couple weeks now and have run into an issue i just can't seem to figure out. In one of my bases is a large shield door and for some reason it will not activate 100% of the time when the base is fortified. Sometimes it would activate and then get knocked out by a nearby re-supply drop and never re-activate. After moving the re-supply point i found that the shield door will still not reliably spawn. The shield door is set up just like all the other ones on my map, all of which work fine, and now i am asking the forgehub community if you know of any solutions to my problem or if it's just a bug. Not sure if this is relevant or not but my map is set on Ravine.
Objects that are destined to spawn as shield or other labels will not spawn if there is an obstruction in the way. If you stand too close, it will hinder the spawning until you move out of the way. this is true with anything, and was noticed in Reach with the vehicles not spawning if you were too close to their spawn location. If they don't spawn immediately, move back for a while and see if that fixes the problem. I don't believe the spawn time value needs to be set to anything in particular. I believe it can be set to never and still behaves the same.
Thanks for the response MrGreen, I just spent a little more time fiddling with it and it seems like it's stable now. I had to rotate it 90 degrees so the majority of it was sticking into the ground instead of the walls.
yeah, the base shields, seem to not work correctly either at all times I've noticed.. you have to be (in what I think) pretty far away from the spawn point for the base shields for them to spawn, which made my attempts at some certain things impossible.
