Faction vehicles show up as "empty" (not as BLUFOR, OPFOR, ...)

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody!

 

I have a problem.

When I place a "faction" vehicle in the Eden Editor it appears as "empty" in the object list on the left side of the screen (where all the BLUFOR, OPFOR, ... objects are listed).

I recently purchased the "Contact" DLC and since I did that I have had this issue.

Before that everything was fine.

 

I am new to this, so it might just be me doing something wrong ...

 

Any help would be appreciated.

there is the include crew tickbox that you need to check to place crew with them (bottom right corner)

That is not what I meant by "empty".

 

I meant that the vehicle is not assigned to a faction (so I can't control a placed OPFOR UAV from the OPFOR UAV terminal, when I walk up to the UAV there is an option to "hack UAV", like it does not "belong" to the faction).

And it shows up under "empty" in the "placed objects" secton on the left of the screen (just like the normal static objects that you place, like walls or structures).

But that is what is meant by "empty." If you place a UAV without "crew" it will be empty, and thus non-factioned.

Oh, ok, I just tried that and it works!

I guess it "worked fine before" because I still had the "place vehicle with crew" - flag turned on and at some point I turned it off (because I was placing some empty vehicles).

 

I just thought that an UAV doesn't have an actual "pilot", so I wouldn't need that.

I guess I was wrong ...

 

Looks like applying "common sense" isn't always the right thing to do.

Yep, it has a virtual crew. Glad you've got it sorted.
