Are you sure the monitor was a machine? I could have sworn I remember somebody using it in a mod and they were saying it was scenery...

not its a machine cause when i put the monitor as the first machine it moves aroud and sings when i put like 3 are 4 machines in the pallet before the monitor it dosent move and the same for all other machines

That may be because there is a little easter egg with the moniter, when you stay in a specific spot the monitor doesn't move.

Look into the mach tag meta, maybe setting the type to "platform" instead of gear, or change the power transition time, also it could be in the functions too.

In the palette there should not be more than once the same machine.
You add your mapchien to the palette if it's not already.

Then you clone chunks in the machine Placement.

like i sed it not only the monitor its all machines but its ok i still got them working i juste put the moving ones in first , i juste wanted to know y i does that and i wanted to tank you for the entity scnr plugin

finally i dont have to spawn mach bloc and scen trough the netgame accept for scenery whit collision and it works great whit slc finally everyone can see all the new mach bloc and scen so tanks again and let me know if you find out what the probleme is whit the machines not moving when spawned as the 3 or 4 first ones

and ya i find it weird to tha they dont work

this prolly wont help, but is the "Device Group" value set to "-1"?
