Don't see anything a little ironic in this response? To paraphrase; "the manual says you will get a full manual".

It'll be good to get a more comprehensive manual, the present one is lacking in a lot of detail.

uh i was thinkin it would be easier (if u didnt mind) if u zip the map into a zip file and then post it on the page? when fixed u can delete

[mcler002]

o mate, on object browser check and see that you have the "script spawn or" ticked at the bottom of the group prop tab - just a guess!!

[KDN]

It is ticked it shows in the .mis file as "SpawnFromScript 1"

In any case, I put the mission on another pc and I connected through LAN and the first group DID spawn this time.
The server is running win XP 32 and my PC(the one it did not work) runs win 7 64.
I will do some more testing and check the logs and see if I can come up with a more definitive answer.
Thanks

[mcler002]

kl im runnin win7 64 so i cant see how it wont work

good luck

[KDN]

Ok, I exited CoD and restarted it and it works everywhere
Thanks for bearing with me!!

This script can be useful to load any mission into current one at certain time. have a look http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=21518
