OK, this is starting to get frustrating. I put the script into the PlayerStart properties. I save selected packages, then export changed scripts. Yet when I close the editor and open it again, the script is gone from the PlayerStart properties. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Even without restarting, when I add a PlayerStart to a map, it doesn't have the script attatched :(. Is this hopeless?
Add the script to the PlayerStart actor in your map & not on the archetype. If you're trying to add a script to Garrett you attach that to PlayerGarrett. If you want to have a script that starts up with your map then you add the script to the EnterMissionInfo actor on your map.

But this is exactly what I want to do: alter the default behavior of the PlayerStart archetype in the gamesys. I already know how to use the script in my own map.

Do you have "Show Non Local" Archetypes checked in the browser menu & have the T3Gamesys box checked?

You need to check "Show Packages" in the view menu.

Oh, right, I didn't have Show Non-local Props turned on after all. The script is there when I place the Playerstart, but once I restart the editor, it's still gone from both the archetype and the playerstart I'd created.
And where is that T3Gamesys box again? And what is it for? :confused:
I'm seriously confused here :erm:
EDIT: Posted that before I saw your reply. OK, so what are those package boxes for?

It tells T3Ed which packages to save. A lot of them don't work.

To continue the theme, am I right in thinking that the gamesys basically defines the hierarchy of objects and their properties? I changed (removed) the collision hull on a stairs smesh I was using so I could resize it, but I noticed this affected all the other instances in the map. Is this because it's held in the gamesys, meaning I'd have to redistribute it with my map?

Moving forward - when I try to save the packages, I get this nice message:
"Something attempted to save the gamesys without going through UEngine::SaveGamesys(). You need to quit the editor immediately after you finish this save, or hit cancel now to abort save"
Something indeed :p. Do I just ignore this? By the way - thanks for all the help!

Probably but the gamesys isn't very big so distribution won't be any trouble.
