Hi, I tried to build a simple script that makes any NPC turning his/her head and body to the player as soon as the player enters the NPC's line of sight (for the latter reason I did not want to use the command LOOKATPLR).

I started with the following...
:STATE=0,PLRDISTWITHIN=200:ROTATETOTARGET,LOOKATTARGET

But I assume I would also need to set the target (that the ROTATETOTARGET command obviously refers to) to the player. How could that be done? Do I need the SETTARGET command here? I tried to understand that command but did not come far. The description just tells "SETTARGET sets the internal target for the entity, follows 'target' conditions".

But what are "target conditions"?
And how could I use these target conditions to set the target to the player?

Any help appreciated.

go to fpsfree.com and look at xplosys fpi guide, it has a list of conditions and actions. However, you are off to a good start, it took me a long time to understand the colon and what it means, and where to put it. I'll give you a hint, there are versions of those commands that are meant for the plr, and not a target

I love Jenkins forever :p

If you use FPI EditPad you will have breakdown of the conditions and actions. It will give you the definitions by just pointing to an action or a condition. It will also help you keep your conditions and actions in the right place. Clicking on help -- although it is not complete as yet -- will give you the lowdown on how to write a script statement.

He doesn't need software, he needs a script, you have to use the settargetname command and then rotate to the target
Also, you could make them look first, then rotate themselves.

Sorry to have offended you Hybrid. I know he needs a script, but the software will help him write his scripts. So, I may be shameless in letting people know about this software; but it is free and it is dedicated to FPSC scripting.
