What am i doing wrong?

[flashy]

When i insert the Start player marker on the map and then run the map, my character doesn't start where i placed the marker? e.g. i set the water level high, and then place my marker on an island, when i run the map, my character starts underwater and there are no islands to be seeing?

is this for a single player or multiplayer?

you have the water set too high?

if your spawning in the water, did you raise the start marker to above the water hieght?

multiplayer.

I place the marker on the land part of the map which isn't immersed in water? i have even used F2 and placed it on the highest point according to the colour value, but it still doesn't work?

Basically, if you tell me that just because the land sticks out in the map editor, doesn't mean that it will stick out in the game, it will make sense, but then the map editor sucks a bit.

It sounds like your using the wrong start marker.


For multiplayer you need to use either Team Red Start marker (for redteam spawn) Team Blue start marker(for blueteam) or Deathmatch player start(for deathmatch maps).


Start Player is used for single player maps.

If you don't have the correct start marker, the game spawns you in the middle of no where (I think it spawns you in the center of the entire map).

Thanks icishoot, i have now used the deathmatch starter and it seems to be working better. still a bit intermittant but better, thanks so much for the help!

one more thing The only ladder i found is the 7m ladder, is that the ladder everyone uses? for the buildings etc? do they just put one ladder on top of the other for high buildings? or am i missing something?

[IcIshoot]

there should be a 8m ladder, 4m ladder and a 20-somthing m ladder.

And what do you mean it works "intermittant"... when playing dm you should always spawn at the dm marker.
