Ive got another death defying question for you.
In my map I just submitted (Loonies in the Desert), I wrote that there is a problem with seeing people inside the barracks and radar building. The AI
think they're Predator or something, I cant see them, so whenever i go near a window, there is this ginourmerous blast of an AK to my left! So you
hurl a grenade in, its all over, but when you get to the barracks (two of them), a few of the windows have BGs at them. You cant see them from the
outside, but they can see you from the inside and again Ive got another clan of Predators after me. I'd like to know what the hells going on. OK, that
sounded too demanding. Can someone help me with this?
BTW, I have the barracks interior and a blue exterior. Dont think it makes any differences whatever the things are, but hey.

Yeah, as mentioned in a previous post..you need to set the blink groups for the insides of some buildings...
Before you change anything..run the map, walk in the door..does the interior suddenly appear?? If so, then it's definately a blink group problem..

No, you can see the interior from the out side, you just cant see the dudes on the inside. I might have to take a
look.
Ummm, where do i find the BLINK group?

Bottom left of the editor. Would you like me to send you something on Blink Groups? Yell and I'll email you.
front-liner - 1-15-2005 at 01:08 PM
I still dont see BLINK groups anywhere.
Remember to email me by the one I told you in the u2u.

Click on the building..In the item attributes..bottom left corner..
You may need to try a different med, not all the unlocked meds show them..

Nope. Still no BLINK rate anywhere. I might have to go hunting for this magical med, or I could just not worry about it.

It is a blink group thing.

Download the 192b med from the following link. It will display blink groups.

testing for blink groups
perigrine falcon - 1-17-2005 at 11:30 PM
if im testing a map out the fastest way to test for blink groups is to throw a nade in the building if you do not see an explosion the blink group
isnt set.
another way is to drop your weapon(0) inside the building and go out to see if you can see it
but if there is AI or something else in the building you should be able to see from outside the building but cannot this also indicates the blink
groups are not set
the buildings need to have a group # and be set as parent otherwise the whole building will be invisable from the outside

Yep its all good, I downloaded the med and its got the blink group down the bottom like EE and ozferal said. Thanks all for your help.
