How to use derelicts?

posted on April 27th, 2009, 7:48 am

ive managed to create plenty of derlicts by creating an extra player (this mains laying down a camera for them), setting them as either ai - mission or ai - hard...

then just place youur ships and make sure they are set for this team and then remove the crew and you can hapilly beam over and make the ships yours, works for me a treat...

Help me please!!! Eveerytime I put in a derelict creator and punch in the label, I go to try the map out and it kills my game! Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong! I'll list what i do...

My steps:
- put down trigger
- copy the label tag of wanted ship
- paste over trigger label

Somebody please fix this! I'm trying to make a map package of 50000 x 50000 maps! I really want to pull this off without having to delete every single one that I put a derilict in!

The camera is for Mark's way of creating derelicts.  (Reply 15)
