Hi this script is designed to make an entity follow a way point. If it spots the player it comes away from the way point chases and shoots. If it loses the player it goes back to the way point. The bit that is not working is the shooting bit. not sure why. could do with a few thoughts!!! (Script below!!)

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc= Pace Waypoints, If See Player then Rotate to, follow And Kill!!! (if lost back to waypoint!)

;Triggers

:waypointstate=0:animate=0,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=0,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=0,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=0,waypointreverse
:nearactivatable=0:settarget,activatetarget=2,animate=0,state=0

:state=0,plrdistwithin=150,dropmarker:state=2
:state=2,plrdistfurther=50:waypointstop,rotatetoplr,animate=0,movefore=2,loopsound=audiobank\user\dalek\exterminate.wav

:state=2,plrdistfurther=150:resethead,nextmarker,waypointnext,stopsound
:state=2,plrdistwithin=40:state=3
:state=3:shootplr

;end of script

your state 3 needs to loop back.

No, it doesn't actually. "Shootplr" tells the script to run the script given to the entity in it's "Shoot AI" field in the properties.

Another thing, "dropmarker" isn't a condition, it's an action.

It looks to me like you're trying to make the script way too simple for what it needs to be doing. Here are a few things to consider:

- Checking "plrdistfurther" two different times in the same state is a bit unconventional and may only be helpful in certain situations. You may want to try splitting those up into their own states.
- "Shootplr" doesn't do what I'm willing to bet you're thinking it does. Probably look at the "useweapon" command instead as well as how to make your guy reload.


The one and only,


Whosoever says, "Don't sweat the small stuff," is obviously not a programmer.

Sorry, I didn't catch that. I'm in the middle of a huge graphic design project.

Hi, Thanks. will investigate use weapon as a way forward (have been lloking at others scripts and have seen it used there also).

The waypoint part of the script works realy well and the enemy troops off back to the the waypoint path when you run away.
