How to put empty cars,tanks, etc.

Im sure this is a scripting thing, but how do you place a car with no one inside.

Choose side as empty and then select class (car, armored, etc) and select type of vehicle. You can also place Antitank mines under Mines in the empty side.

Remember that you have to place a player controlled unit before you get the empty side in the drop down menu.

Intruder, from june 22 2001 until last week, i also thought that

it was required to do so. Then i tried to change player

into non-playable and whoooop --> you can select all stuff,

even if there's no player unit on the map.

Yeah but the player still has to be placed on the map first, before you can get empty options? Then you can take the player away and still have all options.

lol - Intruder, i was answering the same thing, like

you doin now, to the guy who told me that

No, just place your very first unit onto the map,

it will show up as player. Change this into non-playable,

and you can select all da stuff.

OK, you need to do this everytime, as long as you don't

have a player unit present, but it works.

DV's right... granted, you won't be able to see anything until you create a player (the [PREVIEW] option will not appear), but yes, you can create such items before a player is in existence.

Oh sorry mate

It's just I thought that TheRedBaron couldn't see the empty side anywhere cos he hadn't placed the player.

Tell you the truth, the first thing I tried with the editor is to place an empty vehicle, and couldn't figure out how
