Flags not changeable in serverside mod

[Swaffy]

My soldier spawners and object spawners work perfectly. It's the flag pole itself: the "physical" (visible) flag pole isn't there and doesn't have a collision mesh, and cannot be captured.

I made a modded Tobruk server side a few months back Idea was to turn it into a map similar to husky it worked still working on balance, but in it I relocated Axis main to beach below town, it was ok changing control point to a takeable flag like above just use another control point as guide for settings, my problem is how do you remove the symbol on mini map which show red circle with line through it which means untakeable, it confuses playeras when it is there, so I ended up leaving it untakeable and turned on for axis, which left destroyer a bit pointless as the idea was to take beach flag like in husky and fight up road to town

my problem is how do you remove the symbol on mini map which show red circle with line through it which means untakeable

Thats not possible, its one of those limitations of ssm modding. Same with the "capflag" radius you can change it and it works just fine but the players cant see it they will be "stuck" at the settings they have in the org file.

@Swaffy i guess you seen the flagpole and the rest of the flag files in objects/items/flag/Objects.con ?

I have them. Why?

Freddy is right. That is not possible. However if you want to sacrifice another control point, you can use my method.
First remove the axis base and choose a control point to use to replace it. In my case I used ALLIES_BASE_FIRSTLINE_middle.
Then change the location of the "new" axis base. In my case I wanted it at the same location as the original axis base. Adjust yours accordingly.

ControlPoints.con

Code: Select all

rem *** Old AXIS BASE ***
rem
REM Object.create AXIS_BASE
REM Object.absolutePosition 1743.65/67.1438/572.867
rem
rem *** New AXIS BASE ***
rem
Object.create ALLIES_BASE_FIRSTLINE_middle
REM Object.absolutePosition 2038.04/71.5807/724.311
Object.absolutePosition 1743.65/67.1438/572.867

In ControlPointTemplates.con you only need to change the team to 1 on the new axis base.
You will have to note the spawnGroupId and objectSpawnerId of the old and new in order to make other changes.
Also, oddly enough, I found that you cannot change the order in which they are in the file. Client will CTD if you do.

ControlPointTemplates.con

Code: Select all

rem *** New AXIS BASE ***

ObjectTemplate.create ControlPoint ALLIES_BASE_FIRSTLINE_middle
ObjectTemplate.team 1
ObjectTemplate.spawnGroupId 3
ObjectTemplate.objectSpawnerId 14

rem *** Old AXIS BASE ***

ObjectTemplate.create ControlPoint AXIS_BASE
ObjectTemplate.team 1
ObjectTemplate.spawnGroupId 1
ObjectTemplate.objectSpawnerId 11

The easiest way for me to change the SoldierSpawns was to change the names from the old to the new and rem out the old spawns.
Note that the original axis base had 9 spwans and the new one only has 8. I simply rem'd out the 9th one.

I'm pretty sure that the original Tobruk does not have any vehicles tied to the axis base. However if you want to do so, remember to set the osid to the new base.

ObjectSpawns.con

Code: Select all

object.create lighttankspawner
object.absoluteposition 1754.94/68.0798/560.473
object.rotation -1.16986/-6.03976e-04/-1.52588e-05
object.setosid 14
object.setteam  1

Same with the "capflag" radius you can change it and it works just fine but the players cant see it they will be "stuck" at the settings they have in the org file.

That's not true at least in my experience. As long you don't have ObjectTemplate.unableToChangeTeam 1

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.radius 50

This works fine for me and I can see that the flag is changing when I am 50 meters away.

@Swaffy i guess you seen the flagpole and the rest of the flag files in objects/items/flag/Objects.con ?

I have them. Why?

I was thinking of this

The weirdest thing is that I can't get the FLAGPOLE for the Axis base to simply show!

[Swaffy]

My plan is to delete all (four) of my bases and just redo the flag system.
Then we'll see what happens.
