Title: How do I "build" a tower??
Post by: From on 17 Feb 2004, 12:35:24

During several missions have seen and used towers / watchtowers.

But when I dePBO a mission to see where and how these towers have been placed, I only find an object ID.

Is it possible to insert at tower from the Object list and how??

I want to build my own camp, complete with towers and outpost.. But I dont know where to find buildings and how to insert them in the mission..

There are none, in  the empty/objects list, when placing an item.

Does anyone have a solution???

You need Kegetys Editor Addon from the Ed Depot.

Macguba, as always is correct. You need the editor addon. It is indespensable for any mission maker.

hi, From  :D

You can create yer "Tower" (guard tower, I assume?) by using this here spell :

      Tower1= "ViewTower" CreateVehicle Getpos T1 :thumbsup:

 (where "T1" could be either the name of a GameLogic or a trigger etc.)
 (Replace "ViewTower" with yer buildingName of choise, there are house lists out)

This can be easily done without having ANY addons installed. So its really up 2 you,
though I personally prefer the editor addons for larger areas with customized landscapes.

PS.  

   ;) Other "tower-like" building names are:

viewtower2
Dum04
Dum06
Dum08
Dum13
Dum16
Houseleseni2x

among these are some scaffolds and the radio tower.

I remember the fun old skool days when you'd manually hack the .sqm to put your towers in. :)

General Barron has released a new Editor Addon, which is fully compatible with Kegetys but is easier to use from the mission designer's point of view.    Grab it here. (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/resource_view.php?id=612)
