Vehicles dissapear in SparkEdit (help pls!)

Hey, I'm pretty new to halo modding, and have been trying to make SE mods, with extra vehicles and stuff, but however I try to make these new vehicles, they dissapear when I actually go to play the map in halo. For instance, the first mod I tryed to make was of BG, I added weapons, teles, etc. and gave one base 4 shees and 9 ghosts, and the other 4 scorpions and 9 hogs, but when I played the map, all the teles and weapons had worked, but the vehicles had all dissapeared exept for 4 hogs.
Why is this?

uuuuh, you have to replace other vehicles. there can only be four of each vehicle if you dont. :/ I'm not sure WHAT you have to switch, I know the actual vehicle, but Im not sure about model and collision, sorry, but I KNOW you have to swap vehicles :/

ah, thanx, that helps, but not totally, I tryed making a mod for another map, I forget which, but only swapping the vehicles, rather than duplicating them, (changing the blue sides tanks into shees and blue sides hogs into ghosts, and then the opposite for the red side) and that made them dissapear too O.o
Thanx anyway,

Aight i got the solution you have to change the tag info in HMT for the vehicle into scenery then import the tag into SE and then swap scenery for the vehicle (which is now considered scenery) do all your stuff and then change the values back in HMT when your done

*i got a full tut. PM me if you want it

you really dont need to go through all that...sometimes it just does that. like i have 38 shee's in my boarding action w/ around 20 hogs, and like 16 ghosts or something. you just need to know which ones to copy and then which ones to swap...i dont know how else to explain it. i was having the same probles w/ my gyro. if i had so many vehicles...the ghosts and shee would disappear...then i tried swapping the gun turrets for vehicles and that some how worked...i just did trial and error. it took a long time, but in the end, i think its worth it

thanx both. But superman, exactly which parts of the tag do I change? I have changed the first type to scen rather than vehi, and changed the filename to scenery/ghost/ghost. This has made HMT put them in the scenery catagory, but SE still thinks they are vehicles.

ok so if they are now scenery go into SE and go to tools/import tag into scenario then change object tag type to scenery. and if done right the vehicle you changed to scenery will be in the unrigistered tags box and then you just click ok and save the map and then it should work.

there's a step missing, cuz someone told me that same thing b4...and it didnt work. ok, in hmt, look at how the tags of the scenery are set as. change the vehicles tags to that exactly. then save. go into se, do the import tag in scenerio like superman said, then select a piece of scenery, ctrl+c to copy and then go to swap and click the vehicle. and then i would put the scenery(if it moved) into the same spot as it should b. then after you have the vehicle in there, save the map. then go back into hmt, and go to the scenery, change the vehicle's (like warthog or w/e) tags back to how the vehicles tags should b. then u should b done. now u can drive the vehicle. if u didnt change the vehicle back to vehicle, u wont b able to drive it and if it was on a server, the ppl on the server wont b able to see it.
