Level Design Setting territory locations

[AAChaoshand]

Is this feature implemented in the beta SDK yet? I can't seem to find a way to draw out the locations for capture or defense. I also can't seem to figure out how to set specific spawns for Axis and Allies. Everything else in my level is near completion other than this and a few touch-ups on the terrain/buildings.

It's all there. Its done with the ROPlaceableVolume
You should add a RO Objective and in its properties you will find the Objectvolume
Add the ROPlaceableVolume and then connect it tot that objectvolume
But you will need to add all in Kismet too.

Now I had it working once ;-) but forgot most of it. My advice is study one of the
stockmaps and then start with adding one objective. Alsa keep in mind the Axis and
Allies priority value and the initial objective state....

Ah thanks.

I'm poop **** for brains with this stuff thats the irony of it....

All I see is ROobjectiveSP I can't seem to fine the tag you listed. Do I create an objective from the SP first as you said? Sorry, new to this section of the editor, i'm an old Unreal/Unreal T 99 guy

No problem. Here it is.
Still amazing as you stated your level is near completion.

Slect it in the actor class then rmb add roobjective in your level

Remember to lock the ROObjective actor properties window when you're assigning the Obj volume, otherwise the window switches to the obj volume properties screen.

The longer I stare to that Kismet Objective/Spawn setup in for example Spartanovka. The madder I get. I will get it eventually.... Seems a tad different now. I wait for the manual....

This is all extremely good information, especially for an old UT guy like me who hasn't touched this stuff in years. Thanks for the help again!

Time to give some +rep.

 

[AAChaoshand]

Well I got the objectives down thanks to you guys, what determines their radius though?

Everything inside your ROPlaceableVolume is the objective.

 

[AAChaoshand]

Thanks, I kind of just figured that out too. Good to go.

Here is an image I had of a test map I made about a 3 weeks ago, I tried adding the objectives as you showed me before I started messing around with them on the map I am working on now. The main difference between this map and the one I got now is building placement and terrain has changed. I seem to look at things and decide I don't like them fairly often and end up redesigning everything. I'm still in the process of adding the sound actors and player spawns as well as light posts so I can remove all the random spots of light (which are there so I can see what I am working on as well as provide a general location for the tall light posts with generators I plan on installing). Since then I have removed the corner buildings with windows and put a more realistic building set in since the static meshes don't contain any buildings I can modify other than the destroyed ones. I guess I'm not as close to completion as I thought I was because the more I look at it the more I see that I need to do. Back in the Unreal 1 days level design was much easier and we subtracted from the world not add. But, adding does make things easier.

While waiting for the alt drag and copy function its seems better for me to
get more into these objective and spawn setup.
