[?] Help with Drop Kits

[yuyoia]

Hey I am making a mod, mostly vanilla stuff right now, and I am trying to figure out how pick up kits (not the standard kits but spawned kits) work. I searched the maps on and guess they use some kind of object for it, but I can find that object when I search the rest of the server and client files. Same with PR, but I noticed PR uses the same name to spawn a pickup kit as the name of the kit. I tried this method on some kits I had and I get a CTD with no info on the error log, so I can only assume that BF2 will not spawn a bare kit via kit name and needs some sort of static object to act as a kit spawner?


Thanks you devs and modders for your time and patience!

just place some objectspawners (hmmwvs for example) then go to the GPO.con and replace the vehicle with the exact kit name for example us_at , or us_assault

Ah you can spawn kits! It seems the CTD was caused by a missing collision mesh.

Does any know how AIX managed to have random boxes to spawn a range of kits?

IE: support box that spawns different support kits.

better ask that at the BFSP forums

After more understanding and some dissection, it looks like my memory was incorrect. AIX does not have a random kit spawner, per say, but they do have kits spawned. I think I was confused when the spawner's control changed and the kit changed to the other team, and I assumed it was a randomized kit spawner.

So now I just have to place a variety of kits on my maps to make my concept work.
