need help with race track

I built a race track with entity and cloned the chunks from machine placement and machine palette. But my non modding friends can not see it. How do you make the shields and gates visible to non modders?

Spawn them through the [itmc] tag and make sure to make them spawn one at a time so it doesn't get laggy.

Dang why do I say idiotic things. I'm tired I should get off, yea what Ball said. You can't do it via the mach placement though.

I am sory but can you be a little more clear on the steps to making the race track visible.

basically there are 2 ways to do it.

1. take all the netgame equipment that currently exists on the mpa, turn them all into containment gates and then move them around so it forms a racetrack.

2. make the plasma pistol spawn the gate and make a racetrack in the game from scratch everytime you play. btw if ya want variety you can also spawn stuff using the rocket launcher.

Somone in the file forum posted a pretty easy Tutorial with a source so you don't have to manually change all the netgame equipment all ya gotta do is patch containment with the patch provided and move the gates around.
