Spawned artillery

[Robin_Hood]

I have come across something weird. When I spawn artillery units (with the coalition.addGroup), clients crash when trying to add a target to the spawned artillery, while the host has no problem. The client does not crash with a unit placed in the ME, though, only with the spawned one.

 

I was wondering if there is something more that should be set for artillery, that maybe doesn't get set by the addGroup, of if it could just be a plain bug (in which case, this topic should go to the Combined Arms Bugs section, perhaps).

 

It would be great if someone else could confirm that crash. Attached is a simple mission file with one artillery unit placed in the ME, and one that spawns after 5 seconds.

 

Here is the script that I have used:

 

  local unitTable = {
       ["visible"] = false,
                               ["route"] =

                                   ["spans"] = 
                                   {
                                   }, -- end of ["spans"]
                                   ["points"] = 
                                   {
                                       [1] =

PS: I tried it with 1 other guy, both ways. Each of us crashed when trying to add a target as client.
