Question about editor mode..

[joethe33 10]

How do I spawn vehicles without crew? Every time I try it attempts to take off. I just want to put down a bunch of empty, usable vehicles/ assets.

Just press f1, then doubleclick the map (in editor) and as side choose "Empty" ... and thats it :)

I was trying to do that today, and discovered that the "empty" category is not there until you have placed a unit as "player" first. Maybe a bug?

It's not a bug. How can you try empty vehicles in game if you haven't assigned a player yet? You need a player and can then use your vehicles.

Can't be a bug. The editor warns you that "no player is selected" the minute you place a unit that isn't the player!

No in editor put a random vechile down on the map then go to the unit mode go to the faction section there should now be a option for empty choose that u can put a vechile that you want down on the map empty it will display orange indicating the object is empty. keep the tank down on tha map till u got empty then when u got it you can delete the other one there you go.

Hello joethe33,

To place an empty vehicle in your map you have to:

1. Double-click anywhere on the map to bring up the units userface.

2. Change the "Control" from Player to Non-Playable.

3. Now, two more sides can be chosen. Pick the side "Empty."

4. Choose the type of vehicle/object class

5. Select the vehicle/object from the "Unit:" section.

By the way, if you get a message that states, "No player is selected," it most likely because you're using the single-player editor and to preview the map you would need a unit with the control set to "player." However, it is easily bypassed by pressing "okay" and setting a unit to "player" later on.

Does putting down a vehicle from the empty category allow you to pilot/drive said vehicle? I seem to remember not being able to get into it when I tried this.

yes, you can drive any 'empty' placed vehicle, provided you do not place it 'locked'

just pay attention to the selected parameters during unit selection.

Okay, thanks.

Does the 'default' setting in the Vehcile Locked Parameter prevent you from driving at all? I recently couldn't fly a grounded helicopter, but could sit in all the seats.
