Single Player Issue
Hello. I have tried many times to get my single player maps to work but they never do, because my main player won't die, it's like it's invulnerable. I have downloaded the two SP maps on here and studied them but can't figure out what is different between yours and mine. I have also placed the single player and single primary player in the map, but that doesn't work either.
Is it in the BIN file or something? Please help.
Hey Hillbilly,
In "General Information" make sure the "Map Type" is left blank for Single Player. This will let it show up in Single Player Mode.

Hey Ted. Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I got that but that's not the issue. I can get everything to work the way it's supposed to except for the Primary Player, he just won't die if he's shot or whatever. Like I said, it's like he's set to invulnerable somewhere in the settings, and I've looked at the SSN Properties and it's not set to invulnerable there. I've played the two SP maps that are on here and they work fine. I haven't looked into the BIN file however.
Hey Hillbilly,
I have never heard of this problem. I have played around with Single Player mapping and only published one Single Player map. This map is for download (ILLEGAL OPERATIONS - First Strike) it was made 10-15 years ago.
I was thinking, the only way I could make a player invulnerable or almost invulnerable, was to place an "Area Trigger" around the whole map, then put a check (Tick) in the "Health Rate" of the "Area Trigger" and make the "Health Rate" a large number (200).
So when the Player got hit they would instantly heal.
As for the Start Markers. The "Start Primary Player" Marker allows you to spawn into your map in the area you desire, then when you die you will spawn at the place you put the "Start Player" Marker. At times I use this method when making Co-Op maps.
I would imagine you could use either Start Marker ("Start Player" or "Start Primary Player") in Single Player mode. I have only used "Start Player" Marker when mapping in Single Player mode.
As for the "Bin" Files. I have used a "Bin" File for Dialog text and other text. This will lower the amount of text script you use in your "Wac" File.

Thanks so much for the feedback Ted. I've never ran into this issue before either, and I've been building maps since 2002 lol I'll keep messing around with it. I don't mind so much creating in CO-OP mode except most of the time my Waypoints go all screwy after the first time dying 😎
If you see me in Blades Teamspeak come on in. We can chat about maps and mapping problems.
Thats if you have Teamspeak 3. Click on Blades Teamspeak on the home page and you will be able to join.
Thanks! I will definitely do that. I haven't had Teamspeak in quite some time but I'll get it back. I look forward to talking to you all.
Well, I figured out the SP Issue. I was leaving the Player Type on Delta Force. That needs to be changed to either, 10th Mountain or Ranger. Not sure why that is but it works.

Sweet!! a win at last.
Nice work BHD_Hillbilly. I don't know why that should make a difference but there is usually a reason we will probably never know.
The hair you pulled out solving this, will grow back.
Thankyou for sharing the knowledge.
I know it shouldn't but maybe that could be the answer to the invulnerable player problem.
