...the Mission editor or through Code? I can't seem to find info on this.

Thanks all.

    I followed the tutorial up to the point where it says to use the inspector to change the Spawnsphere values. After I click into a text box and attempt to delete the old values, the engine crashes. Did anyone else have this same problem?


    Thanks,

    I just checked and... nope.

    It's writable.

    The mission file is a straight ascii text file. Try writing the values in using something like Notepad or Wordpad or the Tribal IDE. Just make sure you save it without formatting.

    Also raise the height on the spawnsphere just a bit. If you start out "below ground" you'll just drop through the world. If you start out too high you will drop and take falling damage - but that's easy to adjust for.
