Portal Custom map with vehicles

I’m having an issue with the Portal Custom Default mode for some reason, maps don’t load with vehicles. The only way I can get a Portal map that includes vehicles is by using one of the Verified modes

The problem is, the Custom Default mode is the only option that lets me upload an SDK-created map edit. My goal is to build a custom test range to experiment with all the vehicles, but I can’t seem to get them to spawn in this mode

Has anyone else run into this, or found a workaround?

    You can drop vehicles in using the Portal SDK.  I was able to drop multiple vehicles in the map.

  • I'm having the same issue and in my case the HQ spawn is under the map. deploys all player in parachutes forever. I have made no edit to the map using the default large maps only for vehicle practice. I modified the bots and team max count and vehicle spawn delay but, that's all.  

  • I am having the same issues. I think that you have to create a vehicle spawner in the rules editor but I am still unsure how.

    This guy made and it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzRYgW8auhc  Instructions on how to replicate what he made is at around the 25 minute mark. Basically there is a json file you can import and it will load all the flying vehicles and some bots. You can go in and fly around. I tryied adjusting some settings but then it stops working if I change stuff like turn off ai or whatever.

    I've been trying out Godot in order to create a vehicle training map. All you need to add is the Vehiclespawner.gd and add it into the same group as the spawnpoints you get per HQ group, in the settings for the Vehiclespawner you can change it to whatever vehicle you want. Ill add a picture of how it should look.

    Im currently testing how to get the "change loadout" setup, spawn directly into the vehicle and fixing the camera spawning under the map issue. 

    Incase you just wanna fly choppers against infantry with RPGs, here is the test map I made: y9vjw

    i'm trying to find out that logic as well.

    - I created a portal experience and nothing would spawn. then the spawns are also different from normal and the big map also shows mountains instead of top down.
    - I watche a video and went the SDK route with their map editor and took Manhatten and put some helis on there. Now i hope that works but:

    -i think i need to tie the vehicle entities to the vehicle spawner you can place on the map but i didnt even get into how that worked so i just hope placing the heli on the map works.
    Then after that i will have my next problems haha

    I'll try to figure out how to make them respawn quickly once destroyed. same location, same vehicle type. 
    Then i wan to figure out how to make the lobbies load with bots that shoot u (with like 20% dmg on the bots) so you actually train flying and shooting a little bit. 

    but i think i will mostly just get an empty map with a couple of throw away helicopters, and come back to the drawing board.

    Same. Made up a map for this same reason and it doesn’t load the map nor the vehicles. Which is great fun. Cos the aircraft and helicopters are harder than ever in this game
