team_Wolf_checkpoint problem *Solved* (thx kamikazee)

(Hell Mariachi) #1

Hi,

I’m trying to add a contestable spawn to my map but I can’t find it in Radiant.

Rightclicking on 2D I get:
team/team_ctf_redflag
…redspawn
…blueflag
…bluespawn
…Wolf_Objective

but no team/team_Wolf_checkpoint

If I manually change team_Wolf_objective to team_Wolf_checkpoint it doesn’t seem to work in that the entity window dosn’t show any tick boxes (i.e. spawnpoint)

BTW Radiant 1.4.0

Thanks in Advance.

thanks Kamikazee - putting the beta2 definitions gave me the forward spawn entity

What is a team_Wolf_checkpoint ? Never heard of that… Is it an RTCW entity perhaps? Then it might work if you added it to the entities.def file, but because it’s from RTCW it is also very much possible that it wont work at all…

It’s the forward spawn flag entity. Did you download a different entities.def file to replace existing one? it may not be included for some reason, that’s only thing I can think of. It should be in same place as the spawn entities also.

Hi Chris et al.,

The entities and everything else are the original files. This entity - the forward spawn flag that you can capture by touching - is a common entity in ET (oasis, radar, railgun, battery, etc…). I don’t know why it is missing from my team - entities list (right click in 2D).

By the way, I’m following 2Bit’s tutorials, forward spawn flag is lesson 29:

Thanks again for any help,

Ah ofcourse the flag… lol…

Open the ‘entities.def’ file in your W:ET install / scripts folder.
Search it for “team_WOLF_Checkpoint”. If it’s not present your entity def file is somehow not complete. You could try reinstalling ET maybe…

IIRC, this flag entity was by accident left out of the GTKR 1.4 entities def. See NEW ENTITIES FOR ET-BETA2 released.
