I haven't actually tried to do this. However, I have tried to add a machine to a map without overwriting an original one. I use glitchy's apps, and with them it's impossible. Apparently, there are instructions in the mach tag which allows the machine to spawn. In my maps, I can only get a machine to spawn if I overwrite a mach tag within the scnr tag. So, I don't believe it's possible to put a machine in a map without a mach tag. You can add a mach tag, a mach pallette/placement, copy the machine over to the map in insolence, and mod the mach placement in the scnr tag to spawn the mach pallette you just added at whatever position you want, but I think this will produce the same effect that happens with what I do.

Just 2 more mach chunks....

go to glitchys chunk adder and add 1 more chunk to the "machine"

and 1 more chunk to the "machine dependencies"

Now you should have a map that has .map.map at the end.

Open that map and go find your new chunks in the scnr tag in insolence, rename the dependency to what you want to spawn in the "machines" tag, and give it coordinates in the "machine placement"

sign the map and rename it so it only has .map at the end and FTP and play.

Doh! Is this why I can never get my scarab to spawn in coag?

Snaku this is how you get a scarab in your map...you dont even have to add chunks..

you need to spawn it through the itmc collections tag.

1)open ur map in insolence and go to itmc tag.
2)duplicate any item in there, i used the rocket launcher ammo
3) open up the rocketlauncher ammo you just duplicated and change its dependency to the mach scarab.
4) Then go open up ADI and open the scnr tag. Then click tools at the top and go to blue guerilla
5) then scroll down to the collections tab and click the collection and change whatever weapon is in that box to your rocket launcher ammo 2.
6)Then open up cord finder and find the cordinates that you want it to spawn at and put the X Y and Z cordinates in.
7)Then at the top click validation and save.

It should spawn on your map now. good luck.

so i should be able to do that with any mach and it will have collision? like spawn a gate from zanzi in burial mounds?

Yes and you dont even need to add chunks

ok did that and it worked, but when i try to add chunks and spawn it nothing on the maps spawns. no weapons or vehicles. the only thing dif was dupping the itmc and spawning it in a chunk.
