I have two spawn points on one of my space maps (based on the Outpost Sierra II space map). One is supposed to be the initial spawn point for the start of this portion of the mission, the other is supposed to be where the ship spawns after beaming out of the Outpost.I have specifically placed those spawn points into the Map Transition actions of my Story.

In both Test Map and Test Mission, the ship is spawning at the beamout point instead of the initial entry point. It doesn't seem to be willing to vary on this point.

I also have this issue. My workaround for now is to just do a separate version of the map for each stage you go to it, and transition to there.

That makes heaps of sense. The only issue is having to redo a bunch of placements from one map to the next.

Which, you know -- is another reason to request 'save as' as part of this thing.

Ditto.

If you have more than one Spawn Point on a map, those reference points do not seem to connect properly to story mode or npc. I.E. no matter which one you indicate it seems to only use the last spawn point listed . It also seems to confuse the story mode, and tasks switching forward to the tasks located with the last spawn point.

Yes you can work around it by duplicating your map, but if the system didn't want more than one spawn point it either wouldn't/shouldn't let you or it should pop up an error.




EDIT : Updated information.

Yeah, I find this totally frustrating as well. I think I spent like an hour or so just trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. So I'm glad I'm not the only one who was trying to do this and had a problem.

I didn't think about making a duplicate map to spawn to instead. That's a good idea for a workaround for now. But it would be nice if they could fix this bug.

It would get tiresome duplicating a map if you had a bunch of items to place down all over again to be sure both maps matched up right.

Well, there's a reason I put this in "bug reports." I assume that the intention is you can have multiple spawn points to reuse a specific map multiple times in an episode, but that it's bugged, currently.

I just wanted to add my two cents to keep the topic hot and figuring that the more people that talk about it the higher it might end up on the stuff to fix list.

i think i found an answer for this. at least it worked for me. on the map transfer block in your storybord there is a place where is says leaving ... the old map's name...and it says "leave from" if it says "whole map" i think anyplace on the map will trigger the next spawn. if you select an object or a marker it may fix it... worth a shot

Yes, ive expirience this too.. looks like there is a problem with multiples spawns points.

apperantly, i was wrong. in my mission "neutral zone investigation" there is suppose to be a space part , then you're suppose to beam over to a ship, then abother space part. i can't beam over to the npc ship for some reason, and it adds the second space part objectives to part 1. any ideas? seems odd it would want to skip over a huge section of the storyboard, then go back to it later.
