Falling through my map whenever I try to play story

I'm sure this has been answered before, though my search didn't really find anything.

Whenever I try to play my maps with the "Play Map" "Play Dialogue" or "Play story from here" options the only thing that happen is that I spawn falling and eventually die. It doesn't really matter if it is through a map I have created or through cryptic maps. I've also tried to edit my spawn point to be far above the ground just in case.

If I right click and hit "Play map from here" I don't fall through the map though so if this is only an issue as far as testing the map through the editor is concerned I don't really care.

    Just keep hitting ctrl-R to reset the map and the game will eventually figure out to put you on your spawn point.

    Yeh it just doesn't work well for external maps, the "from here" puts you at ground level all the time. I've ended up making teleporters at my spawn point leading to different important locations I am doing some heavy editing on so I dont need to keep moving my spawn point. So right now I have 6 different coloured teleporters that let me jump back and forth between my map :)

    Thanks, this worked. So I'm guessing this is not an issue specific to me then?

    Also I have to guess that it is also a foundry issue only which means my players aren't going to spawn falling through the map when they try the quest out?

    Yeah, as far as I know, it's foundry-only. You shouldn't have to worry about it happening to your players, haha.

    What if players are falling through the floor on the live map? I have reports of this happening on my map. I have raised up the spawn point a couple feet but it is still happening. Why is this happening and how do you stop it?

    karranor, I assume you were aware of the teleporter bug, and that you are actually talking about a spawn issue. Anyway, most spawn point falls are because the spawn point is facing a wall and people spawn into the wall. Change the directions to face away from the wall or object.

    This is an ancient (relatively-speaking) bug that is almost as old as the Foundry for Star Trek Online. There were even periods of time where players gave us tons of one-stars because they became stuck in a floor, or fell through the floor. I don't know what causes it, but it comes and goes, without ever completely disappearing.
