How do I "build" a tower??

[From]

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  

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.

yup! in those times my guards were watching @ their base instead of looking out over the fields   ;D

THX   for the nice replies...

Regarding the use of game logic... Not there yet... I am still working on how to use the radio...

But thx alot...

Uh, this doesn't apply 2 ai, but you can't access da ladders and stuff when you add a obj. from Kegetys Ed. Addon, can u?

On my cmp u can't atleast.....

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.
