How do you make a box entity move along a waypoint?

I've tried everything! I've tried different types of boxes, different sizes of waypoints, different AI Main scripts, different floor surfaces, but nothing!

So, I know it's possible, but how?

You need to give it some AI. You need to make a relative simple script for the box to make it do what you want when you want it to. The simpliest method I guess is to give it a player proximity command in script. i.e. plyrdistwithin=yourdistance.

Then you may need to activate it, if necessary using an object (can be invisible) as a trigger and utilise the activate if used functions of FPSC.

It can be a little tricky if you are new to this, but is not really hard to achieve and the excercise of getting it to work will teach you agreat deal about working with scripts/AI and FPSC. Well worth a little effort.

Study of any FPSC script for a door which opens relative to player proximity will show you how to do this.

Hmm, i've given it a go, but nothing's happening still, does anybody here already have this type of script, because im sure somebody must.

All help is appreciated.

Well what I did was made it into a charachter with no sounds, and followed a waypoint, unfortunatly I somehow lost the file, I think I might have deleted it because sometimes I would get errors, but you could try that.

You don't need to make it as a character.
set physics to "no" and the item will move along the waypoints.
I've tried with the humvee and it works, although the humvee seems to follow the waypoints with the...rear gear!
