Only the S&D Target pick-ups can actually move. Never understood this one.

i have managed to get pickups moving :o
erm just check everything 9 times outta 10 its inconsistancy in work that makes things go wrong just check and you might find a small error
eg .
make sure all way points are numberd correctly
make sure the events are right and group vol is set

Ive given up on the pickups... but ive always had normal pickups move before, not the S&D targets. Maybe I'll try that.
And yes, ive checked EVERYTHING. Groups, events waypoint numbers and everything. The T-80s move though...

i don't really know what else it can be, how many items and that have you got in your map sometimes if there are too many items in the map or events
it may not work.

One more time fellas, the regular old pick-up DOES NOT move. There is a typo in the items.def for that particular pick-up and it DOES NOT move.
Switch it to the S&D pick-up or the headlights pick-up and it will move.

ok ok i'll take your word for it, i'll magically turn on the headlights or make em S&D targets. But normal pickups used to always work... but maybe
Distant is right, maybe it has something to do with DF2 things. I dont know. S&D it is.
Thanks for your help, guys.

Hairy is right and the regular pickup has never moved, NEVER! lol so the last time you had a pickup move it was the s&d or the headlight.

I SWEAR TO GOD! I had normal pickups moving about, but that was before I got the EXP, so maybe it has changed.
BTW, I just put in a new map, i tried the S&D target for the pickup and it worked to my surprise.

You must give them a speed, (In events).
This is how LW works. TFD pick-ups move automaticaly.

ummm, I did give them a speed of 12 KMs an hour and they didnt move. And I havent seen TFD trucks moving automatically. AND I took what the others
told me about S&D targets moving and tried it and it works to my surprise. But thanks anyway.
