This is something I have never understood.

All you do is make the pedestal and than make the pre-made script zone. I think it knows what team places what on where... don't ask me how.. I have no clue.

Try looking at maps in level edit that do use peds in other buildings, like "the last stand.mix" it has the ped in the conyard rather than barr/hon

You don't even need to use a pedestal really that is just for "show", all you need is the script zone, put that wherever you want it, place a beacon in it, then it's gameover.

Don't understand what you could be doing for it not to work.

No... I think there's two seperate GDI and Nod Peds so it knows who can place it to make it end game. But there's 2 kinds as well, one that has health when you look at it (the one you don't use and i don't think works) and the normal one.

I think it works by what building is the closest. If the NOD building controller is closer than the GDI one, it will be NOD's pedestal and vice versa.

I still don't know why it wont work. I don't think I'm doing any thing wrong but maybe I am. All you need is the beacon script zone right ?

Object>script zone>cnc>Beacon right ? ....

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it works because of the player that sets the beacon. If GDI then GDI Beacon so kills NOD and if NOD player NOD Beacon and kills GDI

The Player type of the beacon in the zone determines what teams buildings to kill but then i guess that wouldn't make sense. If u placed a beacon on the ped on gdi base and u where on gdi it would kill Nod from GDI base .....

Maybe it has to do with Building controllers who knows

Wonder what'l happen if they are exactly the same distance apart. Probably go with NOD.

I think I know your problem.

Does your map have any structures on it? And if so, are their building controllers in?

The beacon pedestal works by destroying all enemy structures, not by simply ending the game. Therefore, if there aren't any enemy structures to destroy, the pedestal won't work.

You are putting the script zone on the pedestal right? Not just making the pedestal and then testing it.

it works off the nearest controller, also...if there is none or they are same distance apart or to far away, then it can be beaconed by either team for a win.

Had this problem about 4 years ago with tiberium pit 1 my 1st map Razz
