bug; Boat didn't get the upgrade from vortigaunt

[NWTBone]

I was wondering if anybody else had problems with the boat in the fourth level? I lost my boat before getting into the toxic water and had to use the ch_yadayada code to spawn a boat. Only now, later on, the vortigaunt seemed to have 'missed' upgrading my boat; he was aiming at water doing his thing and I don't seem to have the ability to shoot down the helicopter.

Anybody else have problems like this?

Thanks eh,
NWTBONE

Why not just reload the map?

lol, how did you lose it

look at your airboat, then type these:

sv_cheats 1
ent_setname airboat
ent_fire airboat enablegun
sv_cheats 0 (optional)

there you go!

Yeah, I lost it in the level before water hazard when you come out of a pipe and see this big facility behind a lake that you have to break into to open the doors. After doing all that stuff inside, I came out and there was no boat docked there anymore. I looked like hell everywhere too.

Right on, thanks man.

Hi, I tried it but got the following.

!! ERROR: bad input/output link:
!! prop_vehicle_airboat(airboat,EnableGun) doesn't match type from player(0)

I tried a few things, like scrolling up to see the system's name for the original boat, and seeing if I could enable its gun, or renaming it first and then that. But it kept crapping out on me. I created a new boat as well and tried to enable its gun but same thing. Maybe reloading that level will work? Does reloading just reset all the actors and objects and whatnot?

Hm, it seems the entity is orphaned. It says global_newgame_spawner_airboat isn't there, which explains why the alien guy can't set properties on it.

Time to read the Source engine?

Edits: I didn't read your original post properly, sorry.

You will have to reload the level as the scripted gun sequence only works on the original boat.

Sadly, he did.

Hi everyone, we found out the problem. Just missed adding a 1 to the end of the line ent-fire airboat enablegun (1 for yes, 0 for no).

Thanks everyone, the gun is great!
