Spawning Centipedes

[Enzyme]

Is there some trick to spawning centipedes that I don't know about? I've been playing around with the editor and have slowly worked out how to create most game objects. But I still can't get centipedes to work (level crashes instantly), nor can I get engineers to repair buildings (level crashes when the engineer is nearing job done).

What's going on?

Centidpedes need to have a size over about 7 to be useful, and you need to tick the "in first" or some such box so that the game knows it is ONE unit, not lots of them.

Thanks for Icepick telling me this when I had the problem ages ago

Thanks, I never noticed that you could assign a size to them. I had seen the "in first" or whatever it's called box, but ticking that without assigning a proper size wouldn't work I suppose.

The unit size for a Centipede is the number of segments the Centipede will have. If you set it to 20, you will get a fairly large one. Setting In Unit (not In First ) to 1 makes the whole thing into one unit - without it, the game will crash instantly.
