hi all, when using quick battle mode to script a new mission im having trouble with ship starting co-ordinates, im unsure of the co-ordinaes system, i try to enter values but when the mission starts it seems all the ships are clustered in one corner of the map and keep crashing into each other. any body got any ideas or some default values to help me better understand what im doing. PLEASE im going mental here

You can use the internal placement editor (check out the mission scripting tutorials) to do it.

What values are you entering?

0,0,0 is the center of the btw.

Are you actually assigning the ships to the locations you've created at any point?

As MLeo says, there's a tutorial on using the placement editor which might be able to help you...
