Thank you for the advice, I didn't know that you could open a log in game.

You should open the game log "F9" and the game will tell you what you did wrong

This works:

Code:: local ScenarioUtils = import('/lua/sim/ScenarioUtilities.lua') function OnPopulate() ScenarioUtils.InitializeArmies() SpawnUnit() end function OnStart(self) end function SpawnUnit() local spawn = CreateUnitHPR('urb0101', 'NEUTRAL_CIVILIAN', Random(40,50), 25.984375, Random(40,50), 0,0,0) end

Ok, so I just tested this script and it broke my map.
local ScenarioUtils = import('/lua/sim/ScenarioUtilities.lua')

function OnPopulate()
ScenarioUtils.InitializeArmies();
SpawnUnit();
end

function OnStart(self)
end

function SpawnUnit()
local spawn = CreateUnitHPR("URB0101", "NEUTRAL_CIVILIAN", Random(312,492), 25.984375, Random(312,492), 0,0,0);
end

I'll post some when I get home from work. Really I'm just trying to test it with a basic spawn function.

You should be able to use that, yes.

Need to see some code snippets, or even your entire map.
Can't exactly give feedback when I don't know what you're trying to do.

Spawning units with a script

2016-12-12T00:25:30+02:00

Hey guys, I've been studying the lua code of survival maps for about 4 days now. No matter how much I try I can't get units to spawn. You use the "createunithpr" function correct?
