hi guys I am designing a TDM map for the clan I am in, I have nearly completed the map after reading numerous tutorials, I have mastered sliding doors and I got a working train!! LOL!!

My problem is probably so simple you will laugh at me but I need help with placing weapon pickups on my map!!

I manage to get a small blue box which I guess is the func thing but when I come to test the map I dont pickup a weapon when I walk over the area and there is no visible pickup (no weapon on the floor)
how do you get the pickups to work??

Also do I need to do anything to allow Bots on the map (as our server uses them?) or do they manage to run round on their own??

Thankyou all for your help!!

For weapon pickups right click the grid area in GTK and choose pickup >> xxx weapon. Next while the weapon entity is selcted press N to see what ammo goes with it, Example AK Assault Rifle, uses 5.56 rounds. Deselect the weapon entity and right click the grid area again and choose pickup > ammo 556. If your server runs with with outfitting enabled the pickups will be disabled & invisable other than that there's no reason why they're not showing unless you've done something wrong ofcourse. Bots need a bot route (waypoint) file for each map otherwise they'll just stand in one place like a muppet and not run around. For a tutorial on making waypoints d/l this.

Hope that helps

thanks ACE I wanted to chat to you about mapping stuff coz CHP Notorious said he has spoken to you about it and said I should speak to you, Thanks for the Pickup help I will see if that has solved my problem!!

OK I followed your post AcE but the bloody pickups still wont show when I test using /devmap *mapname* in the console!!

Once I have the blue entity box do I put it so it sits on top of the floor brush or does it need to overlap or something?? Do I need any keys and values to make them work???

I definitely have set up radiant the correct way coz everything else shows up etc... so I am very confused!! AAAAGH!!!!

Add me to your msn ?

ok i will do when i next go on, what is your address?

the pickups work now when I test the map without a MOD but when I test it running Rocmod Noble the pickups arent there!! Is there some way to get the pickups to appear when I run Rocmod Noble??

Anyone would think a noob like me would struggle getting a lift to work but I am struggling with bloody pickups for god sake!! LMAO!!

Well there's another reason why roc-noble is a a pile of crap. See profile for email addy.

thanks for the addy, i guess i can just say hi whenever??
