Title: How to deploy soldiers in new craft.
Post by: Nord on November 08, 2016, 11:10:28 am

What must i do, if i created a new craft with new mapblock and want to put xcom soldiers in there? If i add

Code: [Select]

battlescapeTerrainData:
       deployment:
        - [2, 4, 0, 2]
        - [2, 5, 0, 2]
        - [3, 4, 0, 2]
        - [3, 5, 0, 2]
or in mapview add spawn nodes for xcom, nothing helps, i just got CTD "Map generator encountered an error: no xcom units could be placed on the map."
What am i doing wrong?

Are you using vanilla tiles, or custom ones?

Because if it's custom, you must ensure that the MCDs are correctly marked. Look how it's done on the Skyranger:

Of course it's just for the floor tile, where the soldiers are supposed to spawn.

If that's not it, please post more information - preferably the map itself, with all relevant tilesets.
