Clan Mechhanger not letting you buy
« on: May 24, 2010, 04:11:22 AM »
I've got something going on with a couple of maps I've edited and made recently. When you go into the game and load the map, the clan side mechhanger doesn't work although the IS side does. I've uninstalled MWLL and reinstalled thinking I messed up the prefab some how or something. No change. Any suggestions of what I missed?

move this to the beta problems post

I dunno how, though...
People are stupid if they think they can have their own way.

... that is, unless they have HEAP rounds, high-explosive homing missiles, and terawatt lasers on a walking weapons platform, that is...

Can anyone please just confirm that this problem is localized to myself and not affecting anyone else's maps currently being made? At least that will tell me it's something on my side vs. the original mod files.

Thanks,

Upload the mech as it is right now and I'll gladly test it.

This is a localized problem. I have no problems with either the Clan or IS factories. When you enter the Clan Mech Hangar while testing in real game mode on a dedicated server, do you see the "shopping cart" icon appear in the lower left portion of your HUD?

Thanks Adian. That gives me direction. I'm going to wipe MW:LL out and reinstall from scratch. The shopping cart does not appear. I must had messed up my prefab somehow for the clan mechbay. I'll test after the reinstall and advise just so it is confirmed fixed. Thanks again Aidan!

Reinstall fixed it. Had to completely back it all out, crysis and everything and then start from scratch but all is fixed.

Huh? This is the community created content subforum, and he's discussing his created content as a member of the community.

Jason's eager but a bit behind the 8 ball as he hasn't even played the game yet.

Glad you have it fixed. On a further note, the shopping cart appears when the player enters a "Buy Zone". This Buy Zone is implemented by an Area Shape entity logically linked to the given Factory entity.

I fully understand the area shapes, although I've had issue with a project that uses an area sphere to turn on and off particle effects on the map. I think somewhere along the lines either the Clan mechbay prefab go corrupted or I accidently extracted from it, making it stop working.

I too was working the issue of having an Area Shape trigger particle effects in the way desired. Have you ever noticed on the map Frostbite that when you spawn into the Mech Hangar and make your way down to the bottom floor of the hangar that the snow is not seen from within the Mech Hangar until the player's camera view enters the Area Shape, placed at the main hangar opening, responsible for the snow particles?

Some how the player, when first spawned, should be able to see the snow outside of the hangar without entering the Area Shape first.

Please do, it's a little difficult to contribute to balance discussions with no real knowledge of the subject. You'll even get to have a ton of fun being Nomad(4) and getting picked on!
