Spawning Chests

Re: Spawning Chests

i spawned a chest and i tried to do it again but it doesnt how in fable can they be in the same map/town too?
 
Re: Spawning Chests

I assume you added a chest to the Guild since you posted the problem here. If so, open the tng that you edited to add the chest, check the chest script carefully for spaces where they should not be, no spaces where spaces should be, and punctuation. For the game to stop working just upon entering a region, you probably have an error in that script. If you can not find it, copy just the stuff that you added and post it here and maybe someone else will spot the error.

Good luck,

Jason
 
Re: Spawning Chests

the needed program links is there another way to add stuff to yourself manually instead of making a chest like how you add weapons?
 
Re: Spawning Chests

You can edit tng files and add stuff to any bookcase, cupboard, or other furniture that has a reward hero line in the script. I no longer add chests, I put the stuff I want in the upstairs bookcases of the Guild.

Re: Spawning Chests

ummm i spawned a chest in the guild place but the first one was in water so i deleted it and moved it and saved and every thing but it was still in the water can i get some help with this please:ninja:
 
Re: Spawning Chests

Once you enter an area everything is saved as is. You need to make your changes before you enter an area, then start using a saved profile from before you enter that area.

Sometimes with AE the changes happen even after you have been to that region, but not always.
 
Re: Spawning Chests

i tried that and the chest is still stuck in the water and one AE it doesn't even have that chest on there and could this be why my chest aren't showing up at all
 
Re: Spawning Chests

If the chest is not showing in AE it probably won't be in the game.

Using AE open the region where the chest is in the water. Grab it and put it close to some structure that you know is on land, right click it and make sure there is a check-mark by 'to ground'. Hopefully that will work. If not, use the wizard to make a new one.

If that doesn't work, go into more detail about how and where you are trying to put the chest.
 
Re: Spawning Chests

okay when i made my first chest i was going to move it but i thought the water was a path because i really didn't know what i was looking at, it work and appeared but i put it in the water so i quit the game and started AE and deleted it then saved it, then I made another one on actually land but that chest didn't appear and the chest was still in the water and it is still there and i also tried with other area's but they still don't appear other then that one in the water. To make my new chest i just followed the tut again so i put my new one near the bridge because it was in a kinda open area and easy to get to
 
Re: Spawning Chests

Did you right click and put a check-mark beside 'to ground' ? Sometimes AE will set 'PositionZ' to a negative number, and the item will be underground. Some people say it doesn't matter, but it does, items will not automatically raise or fall to be at ground level. So, click to ground or set PositionZ to the same height as something close by.
 
Re: Spawning Chests

no i have not tried that i will now hey thanks alot for all the help you have given me
