Help!! PlayerStart Actor

fallingcow · 2nd Oct 2001, 03:38 PM

I need to figure out how to place a PlayerStart actor. No matter how big I make a room, the log window gives me an "Actor doesn't fit there" warning. It's very hard to make a level without a playerstart.

Here's what i get in the log window:

Cmd: ACTOR ADD CLASS=PlayerStart
Log: addactor
Warning: Actor doesn't fit there

THe place that i'm trying to add this is a hollow cube that is 10000x10000x10000, which i think is big enough for a playerstart; the tutorial said 512 was big enough.

Thanks for any help on this!

Sounds as if you added the room rather than subtracted it. What color is the wireframe of the cube you placed?

the wireframe in the 3d window are pink , the ones in the other three windows are brown or red

you need to start by subtracting space rather than adding. the world isn't empty, it's full and you need to carve out of it.
you can subtract a huge area and add into it if thats how you're used to things.
don't forget to put a light in there and rebuild.

If the wire frame is red, pink or brown then it is just the builder brush, you havent added or subtracted it yet. you have to hit one of these buttons first. you have to subtract to make a room first otherwise you will be adding a solid brush to a solid.

or not... now when i validate the level it says that "Class PlayerPawnExt's parent is out of date" and that the scripts need to be rebuilt...

did you do some playerpawn subclassing you didn't tell us about?

nope. this is exactly how the program's defaults are... i just got the newest version last week and haven't changed any scripting...
