I have a row of missile towers belonging to player 2. Whenever I (player 1) move within range or even attack the towers, that just sit there. I have tried giving power to them but still no effect.

The only items on the map is

Player 1: A few ground solders
Player 2: 3x power stations, 5x missile towers

Do I need to set trigggers.? I can't see from the example maps how they are activated.


Thanks

You do not mention a Surveillance Center as part of you level. I seem to remember that turrets require a Surveillance Center in order to work? In my levels the enemy turrets will fire at my units as long as there is enough power, and - I think - as long as I do not take out the enemy Surveillance Center.

That is correct. You do need a Surveillance center.

claxbane, could that be added as a check for "level correctness.??"

I am not sure if non-functioning turrets can be considered an "error" when it comes to "level correctness". Getting a base to work is a challenge given in several existing levels, and getting the turrets to work by building a Surveillance Center might be a challenge someone wants to use in their levels.

Fair enough, good point, what about mentioning it as a 'warning' then rather than a 'error'.?
