Map crashing problem

InstantDeath · Post by **InstantDeath** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 10:33 pm

I have a map that I'm working on that involves using a combine apc and a combine apc driver. The problem is that when the apc dies, it crashes the server.

Is this a known issue with Obsidian Conflict or HL2?

Get a better server. And you don't need the driver, just the npc_apc assigned to waypoints in series.

....
You need a prop_vehicle_apc and a apc_vehicle_driver, and the "get a better server" argument is also stupid....
To the crash problem: i have a apc in broken escape and in the new version of castledefense and i dont have any problems with server crashing.

Well the apc i have is a template, it spawns along with the driver by an event.

Apc in castle, yes finally

I've used an apc, and also no crashing.

I only had to use npc_apc and it worked for me. Maybe its a custom entity from another mod. Still works though!

Could be that it spawns the prop and the driver together.

well, in any case, this map needs testing, so if anyone would like to get in on a testing session, please pm me.

you dont need that much entities to spawn the apc + driver, 1 point_template is enough.

can point_templates spawn npcs?

Apart from prop statics

And if you're wondering why, that's because prop_statics are compiled into the world geometry by VBSP.
