Rock Raiders won't drill or do anything in a custom level that replaces a training mission

[Cavinator1]

I decided to try out Rock Raider modding by creating some custom levels. Everything's been going great, except for one thing...

Basically, I first created a test level that I replaced Driller Night (Level01) with, where I made a custom goal be to collect ten energy crystals. Everything works fine, the rock raiders do what I tell them to do.

However, I then decided to create another level that replaces one of the training mission levels (specifically 1. Moving Rock Raiders, MoveTuto01). I changed the npl file to my own crystal-collecting goal, which gets rid of the tutorial speech and confinement, and then changed a few other settings in the Lego.cfg file.

Except when I went to test this level, although the mission starts with no training mission dialogue and I can freely move my camera, teleport Rock Raiders from the tool store, and click on walls and tell my Rock Raiders to drill them, whenever I do that, they don't do anything. They just stand there doing nothing.

I've tried everything I can think of to fix this issue, including checking my Lego.cfg code against other missions and even against missions that replaced training missions from Baz's Mod, but no matter what I do the issue remains.

The only thing I can think of is that there must be some hidden mechanism in training mission levels that makes rock raiders not able to move at all except when directed by the mission's tutorial, and I haven't been able to find it and turn it off.

This is my Lego.cfg code for the mission that replaces MoveTuto01:

Someone please help!

did you change/replace the PTL file with one from/like the normal levels? that might screw with some things if you haven't; i'm not sure what the tutorial PTL files are like but they're probably weirder than the normal ones.

No, I hadn't touched the PTL file at all. So I replaced it with the one from Driller Night.

The good news: It worked. They're drilling and working properly now. Thanks for the advice.

They are indeed.

 

Also worth noting is that at the bottom (IIRC) of the Levels section the Tutorials are repeated. This is because the tutorials in the main Level Picker (Start Game) are different to the tutorials accessed straight from the Main Menu - and again IIRC you can turn these two into separate levels.
