unit/map problems

Post by Snakz »

Ok, i made a new unit in Fear, i did all the things i needed to do, made it's own monster and unit tag, the collection references are set to a premade sprite, i go to loathing to place my new unit on a map, but when i click on the ground where i want it to be, it doesnt show up.

Well i dont think im missing any tags, but could someone list the tags i need?

it already has its own monster, unit and string lists tag, and the object and collection reference is set to soulblighter (unarmed), is there anything im missing?

Ok, i got a new problem

i checked the sequences and all, they seem fine, i dont know for sure, i tried to place the unit on a map, but instead of not showing up, its shown as a berzerk, i set the collection to summoner instead of soulblighter, what is going on?

check your mythlog

check your myth log when you place the item...

it should give you a clue... post your myth log here...
if one does not learn from the failings of the past they are likely to suffer its return.

Sounds like there's a problem with your unit's collection reference. Make sure your unit (in the units folder in Fear) has a valid collection reference.
