Guys, you tried to repair my UAV/Scan to no avail. I dropped crate after crate on them and they wouldn't repair, not sure what was going on. You fought damn hard considering I had no eyes to guide you. I relied on your calls for arty did the best that I could. Hopefully no one else faces this bug, it really sucked. Not a way to CO a map, but you guys held your own and we didn't lose too bad. Congrats.

Yeah i was the SL of the squad holding the eastern dam base. One memorable time my squad was able to pin an entire squad into a lil hole, and you artyd all 6. Very well done for someone that couldnt really see anything. I had the same bug happen to me once in karkand as a CO. UAV was repaired yet i couldnt use it, very frustrating.

Must have been cause we blew it so many times. Heh jk, I don't know what causes the glitch. My squad was the one holding the airbase the entire game. My special ops guy must have blown the UAV and scanner atleast 15 times. Couldn't really get the arty alot because you usually had a squad coming from that direction. Anyway good commandering for not being able to see, you made us work hard to hold onto the airbase. Kudos to my squad, we had a great time defending.

I believe the glitch is caused by the object definitions in the scripts for Kubra. For some reason, they set it up so that the UAV and Radar at the airbase will respawn as US if destroyed when the US holds the CP.

I *think* that capping the airbase flag and destroying those objects will respawn new ones for the MEC team.

For those who care about the details:
rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: CPNAME_KD_64_intake_UAV]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner CPNAME_KD_64_intake_UAV
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner CPNAME_KD_64_intake_UAV
...
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 aircontroltower_mec
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 aircontroltower <--- SHOULD NOT BE HERE

Only ObjectTemplate 1 should exist, since it can only be owned by the MEC team. Since it does exist, the spawned item will depend on the owner of the associated CP.

Haha, that was great. You told me they were there, so I zoomed in as far as I could and saw them all grouped together. I just placed the arty right in the middle of them all. That's all I could do most of the round, just zoom in and see where arty would be best used. Man, that's rough not having scan or UAV.

I wonder if we can change this server side to fix it without causing players to download a new map. Hmm...

It is a server side only setting, but I have no idea what you can change without impacting PB and such.

I was in your squad Viper, and had noticed one time when I went specops to blow stuff up that the UAV trailer had a US flag on it. I guess now I know why. That was fun holding that one for that long. It seemed every time I went off in the tank or APC to go help cap that flag to our NE the UAV scan showed a squad or two coming in so I had to double-time it back to help. Of course it's WAY easier going down those hills than up them lol. They almost got it a few times but we managed to hold on and re-take it each time.

Although, that was *nothing* compared to trying to take and then hold the airbase on Dragon Valley the next round - that was freaking intense.

I did a little testing and found that it is a little more complicated than I thought and it explains why we haven't seen it more.

If the MEC UAV is down and the US UAV is destroyed (with the airbase flag owned by the US), the MEC UAV will respawn as US. To recover, you need to repeat the same sequence with the MEC team owning the airbase flag. That means you cap the airbase, destroy the UAV there, then destroy the UAV on the NE US airstrip.
