does the following script call an entity's "shoot" script?
or does it simply use the entity's weapon
i'm stumped

:state=3:settargetname=enemy,rotatetotarget,resethead
:state=3,ifweapon=1:useweapon,rundecal=6
:state=3,ifweapon=0:state=4,setframe=6

That dose not call up the shoot script. it is more of a piece of the shoot script that can be put into the main script.

To have the shoot script called up, you need "shootplr"
V7 of the ally script demonstrates this effect along with multi-targeting.

i was lookin at the ally script you're talkin about and i thought it was just a thing giving the player control of his/her allies
am i wrong?

and shootplr isn't relevant in an ally script

It has to be "shootplr". there is no "shootenemy"

The ally script was designed to give player control to the ally, but I also included independent control such as, if he is shot at he will automatically return fire. The new "ally scripts" V7 not V6 (V6 contains a single script V7 has two ally scripts, main and shoot) Has a feature where you can just have him roam freely until you need him.

so there's like... no way to have him automatically find an enemy target and shoot him?
or even fire his weapon blindly in that direction for theatrical effect
that would be good since it would force the player to actually do something instead of letting his teammates carry him through the whole game

I get what you're saying. Yes, you can and should do that.

ok that's what i was thinking
so in the editor window, when i right-click on my ally entity, i get a properties pane
this pane contains a field entitled "Shoot" which normally contains the entity's behavioral script for shooting the player

lemme see if i got this right...

"shootplr" will call this script, whatever it is
and i can have the entity shoot something other than the player if i write my own script to do so, and put it in this field
then call "shootplr" from the entity's main script

yes?
