[Delta327]

an ambush ? most of the time the problem will be spelling errors so make sure to double check and after that post your lua (or just the parts with the ambush) here

^ How did you get ambush from the information he provided?

i look at a tutorial and did every right there

When something doesn't work, the majority of the time it means you didn't do everything right. Go through your steps again maybe two more times until you are able to spot your mistake. If you can't, describe what you did and post any changes you made involved in getting locals to work.

ok and im just trying to add locals not an ambush lol

Woops !! My mind was thinking ambush for some reason . Sorry about that Delta

Here's are some related topics that might just help u with whatever your missing :

and of course the tut:

It's always a good idea to look at the scripts from the villain maps.

If after double checking you still need help post your lua and I will look over it !

In the commandpost instance settings, you can set the allypath parameter and make a spawn path for the allied team only when the command post is under friendly control (I think).

i did that and i put bes_spawn

EDIT
can some one give a walkthourgh on how to do the ally path

Double posting is against the RULES; please EDIT your post instead -Staff

Ok so here's what I've done in order to get a third side working (GAR = Naboo Royal Guard)
First your cp. Make sure it's controlled by a friendly team, and set the instance properties as seen here:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Also make sure your path looks like this:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Then make sure the following lines are near the start of your lua:

Code: Select all

REP = 1;
CIS = 2;
GAR = 3;
-- These variables do not change
ATT = REP;
DEF = CIS;

And this after the objective is determined (all that conquest stuff):

Code: Select all

AddAIGoal (GAR, "Deathmatch", 100)

And finally this sometime after you setup the teams:

Code: Select all

SetTeamAsEnemy(GAR, CIS)
SetTeamAsEnemy(CIS, GAR)
SetTeamAsFriend(GAR, REP)
SetTeamAsFriend(REP, GAR)
SetTeamName(3, "locals")

Substitute the team number with whatever you like, as well as the team name GAR. Just make sure you're doing everything right when you setup your third team (in the team setup section) and you should be good to go. If you still have trouble, look over the tutorials again until you understand it all. If I can help anymore, just let me know.
