I notice, when you add a waypoint and make a npc follow it, he walks. Is there a way to make him run the waypoints? If I increase the speed, he just walks faster, but no running. Any suggestions?

So a Shepard said to his flock; "Thou shalt be confuseth!" and so they were.

Ive tried to do this but it doesn't seem to work. if you look in the waypoint script there is "animate=2" which is the walking animation, if you change it to "animate=5" (running animation) it still plays the walking animation. I think is a bug. I think butterfingers waypoint system will do it though, I used it once and it seemed to work.

Hmmm, it works for me...

Make sure you are altering the same script as what the entity is using as their Main AI.

Do just as olliday suggested and change all the "animate=2" commands to "animate=5".

Okay, here's the "bug" breakdown.

The "waypoint" commands automatically tell the entity to use animation 2. REGARDLESS of whether you write them first in your script or not, the engine will set the entities animation to what you gave it with the "animate=" action, and THEN tell it to animate with animation 2 because of the waypoint command.

How do you get around this? Simple:



Set the entity's "Speed" to a higher value more fitting of a runner. I found 200 to work just fine.

Run it, and enjoy.
