Author Topic: Radar/fuel acting as ack (Read 575 times)

Broes · « **on:** December 27, 2001, 10:04:00 AM »

Sometimes when I place a small or medium field (standard MA one's) I have the radar or fuel bunkers acting as Ack, thus shooting planes and changing face direction when i try the map out in offline mode.

The fields are the smfld and medfld2, centred in the correct position of the tile, the tile itself is perfectly flat and when you check the properties of the misbehaving radar/fuel, they are set to the correct object type, thus not Ack.

Is this a know bug or might there be something else under lying?

The smfld and medfld2 Fields don't have MapRooms

I believe that these 2 AirFields are each relying on their own fldcap1 Fields (which has the maprooms)

So place the fldcap1 for each of these Fields or add a maproom group to each instead.

If you click the "Object Report" Button and then click "Map Room Check" it will tell you the fields that are missing the Maprooms.

Yeah this problem i already tackled but sometimes i have a radar dish shooting at planes

The radar dish has the radar object type and is placed along with the smfld or medfld.

Weird but true.

What can happen, is for example, you place Fields upto #10 then #11 is missing maproom then you keep adding another 15 Fields.

#11 can cause weird thing for the editor when it builds your terrain causing anything to happen at any fields.

A TG was missing a maproom... Will correct it and try again.
