So we all know the editor isn't the greatest piece of work when it comes to bf2 and loves to give us all sorts of problems at the most random times. I'm running into a new problem that's keeping me from finishing a little project for a map we are soon to release. I'm adding new player seats to a vehicle by using the " Add Clone Child Template " but every time i attempt this, the editor just completely freezes and I'm forced to close the editor through the task manager. I can add new and existing child just fine, but for some reason the clone just wont work. Anyone around here run into this problem as well?
And I am using the updated exec from the forum.

add the seat manual, also beware that if you save objects with the erditor it tends to mess the files up, overwriting stuff, not save stuff correctly

As Leusch said, make manual edits to code via a text editor, using the editor isn't a good idea, only use it to preview your changes for 95% of stuff.
As for your second question, check how other vehicles do that, then compare the code between yours that can't, simples.

ok so im way past the initial topic of this post, i just edited the file as stated. but as soon as i clear one problem another is created.
I dont understand why this is happening, everything is in the correct hierarchy but the front wheels are at the rear of the vehicle. any idea why this is happening?
