I have tryed to make a scarab spawn in place of the sword, shoot out of the plasma pistol, but every time it freezes. Any suggestions?

yes, follow my tutorial very carefully and give the scarab some new coordinates. Dont use the same ones for the sword. Isnt the sword like inside the building? If so i bet that would make your map not load.

I've always wondered how exactly you're supposed to determine the Z coords. I've seen lots of mods that just nail the Z (you don't spawn up in air or anything) but I always have to make my best guess and my player spawns and vehis end up a few feet off the ground.
Also, can you make a scarab drivable? I know it won't actually have the walking animation, but can you make it fly? I've seen something where you see a ghost, but everybody else sees a scarab, but I'm asking if you can make an actual scarab with full collision fly.
[edit] The reason I ask is 'cuz every attempt I've made causes the game to freeze. Just now I tried again, just swapping the hlmt of the ghost for the scarab. Set it's Z to 70 (just to be sure it wasn't intersecting the ground or anything, cuz I thought that might be my problem). Map loads, game starts and lasts just until the scarab should be dropping onto the screen, then it freezes.
