Yeah it spawns later in the map through another sequence of triggers, is there any other way to do this I don't want to spawn the tank as soon as the map starts.

Thanks

eTrigger = getent("triggerThatSpawnsYourTank", "targetname");

eTrigger waittill( "trigger" );

//insert tank targeting code here.

What this does is makes the script literally stop in that spot until you hit the trigger that spawns your tank, so there is no way it won't actually be in the world when you try to set it up as a jav target. Of course it also won't move beyond this point to do other stuff you might need to have done in your script, so keep that in mind. It is literally stopping and waiting. There is more than one way to skin this cat, but that's what I got for now (-: -Rob
