Compass doesn't work...

[Undeceived]

Hello again!

Sorry, this isn't a kind of "How can I..." thread but more of a troubleshooting...


Can anyone of you think about a reason or a code line in mission editing which could cause the compass of the player not to work anymore?

I'm in pretty advanced progress finishing the mission and somehow didn't notice what I may have done (or when), so that it doesn't work anymore.
When I load other missions in the editor, it works without problems. Just not in my mission... I did not deactivate it (even don't know how to do this) and the other items work fine (clock and map).

Do you have any idea?
Thanks!

Two questions:

1., What doeas it mean "doesn't work"? It shows South as North? Or there is no compass?

2., Did you use any 3rd party script, addon in your mission?

Yeah, sorry for the lack of information:

1. When I press the compass button, it simply doesn't appear. As said, clock, etc. work fine. And the compass works in other missions.

2. Yes, I use some... Schnapsdrosel Mercenaries, W0lles Armed Civilians, DAC and 2 editor updates (MAP and Jon). And for the editing process I use the Editor Dude...

Are you sure your unit has itemCompass in his inventory? Without it, there won't be any compass. Maybe editordude doesn't have it defined in his config? Try using another (default) unit that you know has the compass and see if it works then.

Or have you accidentally switched showCompass to false?

Wolfrug out.

Yes!! That's it! The showcompass was on false... Dooooh...
Sorry, my fault!
Thank you for this hint, man!
