PlayerStart Error

Post by Master_Unreal »

Every time I try to put a playerstart in the level, it makes the player start, I save it and go to test the map, and it says no playerstart found!
I tryed putting 50 in there, still nothing. UnrealEd 1 has no problems but i can't skin my movers, does anyone know why this happens? Thanks

Lol I can't think of any good solutions.

Some of them:
1. check did you REALLY add them
2. delete all PlayerStarts, rebuild, add some PlayerStarts, rebuild again
3. try to mess with properties of PlayerStart you put into your map
4. load a working map, erase all Actors from it (including Brushes) and make a short map over it (SAVE WITH DIFFERENT NAME!)
5. if it doesn't work then, try reinstalling everything. If it does work then, thank me for advice and dear God for making it work.

Good luck!

Sometimes the playerstarts won't be noticed if you don't 'build the paths.' Do what's mentioned above. Wipe them all out - Rightclick and select ALL playerstarts (in case one is hidden outside of the map) when you delete them. Put in new ones and build the map. Run it. If the playerstarts are still not working try building the paths and then do the rebuild. Give it a go, and let us know if they're working.

I think it SHOULD work. I think that's just one of those bizarre errors.

Dont add more then 16 playerstarts at one map (exception if they are dynamically enabled - disabled)
Skydev = Chaos13 = Dimension4
