AI bots makes the game crash when....

[delta62]

Hiya,
ok I've been modding RC now for about 2 days, just really adding things instead of changing, like making the Battle of Geonosis bigger. Anyway, when I add a single(or 20 hehe, this was an accident btw) and have 40, 62 and 07 in my squad, the new guy makes the game crash when I tell them to do anything from sniping to breaching a door. I think it's fine when the new guy gets bacta, but this is really annoying. Also, if I do not allow him to take part in squad moments, then he can't get bacta, which is not good. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you,
Delta62

How did you add a commando? I would realy like to know. =) I have not you anwser sadly. :( But someone else sure have.

Ok so to add a new commando you have to open Unreal Editor and go to actor class which can be found in the textures browser. Then select Actor class and select actor, then pawn, ct pawn, republic, commando and whatever commando you want. I used a plain white commando(commando clean). Right click on select default properties. Open AI and select 'can be squad member' and change it to true. Do the same for can perform squad markers. You can also change accuracy from here as well. Then open up hidden and change cannot die from false to true. (This also works for clone troopers as well and you can make them crouch, lean ect..) Now open any map, select the commando and place on the map. For example, in the very first map where you leave the gunship when the geonosian takes your jump mate, I added a clone commando just before you get Scorch. He can do any command you tell him until you get Fixer and Sev with you too. You can also set any skin you want to the commando as well, making him Boss, Sev, Fixer, Scorch, Night Ops, Recon, or two special skins found in textures for you RC's. I can't change his number(00) so I mde this up, his number is 1200. No matter how many new squad members you add to your squad, there number will always be 00. Now to put him in the proper hud slot.  Keep scrolling down in the "hidden" menu until you come across Hud slot. select it and change it from 0 to 4. For each new member, change it from 0 to in increasing number as Sev, Fixer and Scorch already have slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3, respectively. For each new level you have to add the new squad mate otherwise he just wont be in it. However, some starting levels such as the one were you rappel down to meet Sev for the first time, the New Squad mate will NOT rappel down unless you add a new rappel point I believe, but I don't know how to do that. This is still my on going RC project. Pretty much, I'm adding things to the campaign, like making the battle of geonosis bigger.

Also, I found out how to add voices. Open up the hidden menu when you have a character seelected(by clicking on them when there on the map) and scroll down until you see audiotrack. It will say none, so click on where it says none and an arrow will appear. Click on it and a drop down menu will appear and you'll have access to a bucnh of different voice packs. Just click on one, and then save the map, or save properties. Also, if you want someone to have unlimited health, go to pawn, republic, and select what one you want. Open up his properties and select pawn and find health. Change the number to whatever you want, and for infinit health, press 1 and hold 0 so it looks like this: 100000000000000000000000000000 and if its long enough, it will change from that number to 1e#INF. Good luck!

Thank you so mutch! Try to copy the reppels and look into propertes to see where for example Fixer is added and change it to the commando you want. If you want to make new textures to your commandos you can make a screen shot of the texture skins of the commandos, edit them and then import them. I have not tryed it but I will when I get home. I have been away from my comp for a week and have not got a chance to do it yet. Good luck you too!

[delta62]

Thanks everyone! I have some bad news though. I have removed the new guy from my squad because when you have more than three buddies tagging along with you, 1 of them will stay put and will not follow you sometimes. For each new buddy you add, one of your commandos will stay where they are. Sometimes the new guys will too. Also, when you add a new guy into a map when you are alone( Geonosis SBD racks level) the new addictions to you squad CANNOT, I repeat CANNOT move around the level with you. I tried adding path nodes but to no avail. If anyone knows how to fix this It'd be very much appreciated!
Another idead I had was to remove Deltas 07, 40 and 62, and add new commandos or maybe....WOOKIES! lol. I dunno.
Also, I was thinking f adding a bunch of clones to your squad but make them be able to get killed so it's like a company of whatever number and you progress through the game with a constant or decreasing number of vode(brothers). The only problem is that it could be so random that you simply cannot get the same number of troops dying or living each time you play through it. Anyway, that's what I was thinking.

change? the "HiddenTag" too

[delta62]

what will that do?

[delta62]

What are you talking about? I did eerything you said and it still crashes. And how do you get properties? I can only find default properites.

[delta62]

At anytime, if there is more than3 people in my squad, (so an extra) the game will crashe when attempting door breach manuevers, and Im pretty sure for sniping positions too. How do I fix this so they can all do the manuevers?

[delta62]

Currently, I ahve 5 extra squad mates, 3 troopers and 2 commandos. They cannot partake in any combat manuevers like sniping and mounting turrets, or even get bacta. I gave them 1#E health. Basically invulnerable. It's still bothering me though.

[Omega 27 Elite]

try to just adding more spots to the door breach(if you know how to do that). for the sniping and stuff I've got the same problem with my SP map trainingground which i'm currently working on. idk if that will work its just a thought

[Tycon]

im not sure how the door breach works but in my map, all 7 of my guys, snipe and get bacta. foor a door breach, i dont know, it would be nice if three guys just went over but i dont know what would happen
