Mapping Q: 2 different types of spawn vehicles?

[Asspalmer]

The smugglers run map has 2 different type of spawnpoint vehicles, the helecopters and those cars. How was this done? As far as I can tell there can only be one type of vehicle on the spawnpoints.

Thanks.

Good question.

The editor is basically just a front end for creating map files... you can open the .map file in notepad and notice that it is all in XML format.

the editor only supports 1 type of starting vehicle, but the spawn points are written into the XML file with the vehicle for each spawn point.

you just have to manually edit the map to change specific starting point vehicles.

Or alternatively spawn some players on top of vehicle change icons. Kent's method is cleaner though.

Awesome, thanks Kent.

THis would be a good thing to put in the Wiki.

Also, a chart of all the Vehicle Names -> vehicle IDs would be pretty helpful

you can find that chart in the vehicles file in sa, it uses the same numbers.
