On my fun mod, people are able to create platforms by shooting the plasma pistol, a stairway to heaven mod. How do i create pre-made platforms so that they spawn inside the map when the game starts?

I know it has to do with entity, bsp viewer, chunk cloner. Just lay down the steps.

Thanks!

It's easy, you can try the tutorial: ''how to add object in the map'' but this is not usuable for the non-modders.

The easy way is by changing the weapons spawns
To do this:

Open up the map you wan't your rally in Entity Beta and go to the itmc tag.

Select the battle_rifle tag and select tools and meta editor at the top right of the application.

Then you'll see something like this:

weap | object/weapon/rifle.../battle_riffle, etc.

Swap it into the mach blue_basegate or the gate that you want for your rally, but it must be the blue one, other way your mod will freeze in the testing.

Then go to SBSP tag, select the sbsp viewer fonction and improved (spawn, collection, battle_rifle etc) and respawn your machs .

Info: do not use the control ''alt'' in the sbsp viewer because it will create a big bug with your objects orientation.

I hope this will help you

Actually using 'alt' is the only key that works in entity. Using shift or ctrl will mess up your mach.

The machine database has a very in-depth tutorial if you are interested.
