Help?

ok... Problem number 3

I finished the map, everything seemed ok, until i try to play it... i start the game, and im upside down, with my head half stuck underground. i cant move or anything, it just says 'waiting for space to clear'. could it be my character starting points? a gueruilla thing? anyway, i dont have health+shields bar either, or weapon info (ammo)... or any weapon, i think...

So, any ideas?

riight - thats an odd one...

try deleting the spawn from where you are upside down, and make plenty more.

(did you remember to set the player tem index on the spawns? )

seems logical... gimme a sec to try and sort it.... plus i have to find which spawn point it was... i'll have to go round looking at my map upside down to recognise it.

Edit: Ok, i tried that, still nothing. I noticed that the vehicles are upsidedown too

.... should i just give up or what?

3rd time changing stuff and still no fix. I noticed that when i restart, the vehicles appear (upside down - they arent there to begin with).

BREAKTHROUGH! Its not upside down, everything is fine, however, im half underground, and i cant see the floor (because im looking up at the level from below), and what i thought was the ground, is actually part of the cliff hanging off the edge, so im kinda just off+below the level. Ive located it (im sitting there in sapien), but i cant see what would make me be there

Edit: new error is occuring when i rewrite the sapien file through tool (scinario to .map)

###error failed to open data-cache file

you did the command
tool build-cache-file levels\******\******

****** representing your map name.

I would say try deleting all the spawn points and remaking them (just a few --liek 4 for each team--)

also, did you set it so the spawn points worked for All games, or soemthing?
