Sorry your browser is not supported!

I am just attempting my first script so bear with me. The propose of the script is to swarn a bad guy when an entity is destroied. To do this I have added the entity and in it's 'activateifused' property added the name of the bad guy and added the script's name to it's 'AI main'. On the bad guy I have set 'swarn at start' to No and 'swarn after a delay' to Yes.

My script reads

;Artificial Intelligence Script
;Header

desc = swarn on destory

;Triggers

:state=0:animate=1
:state=0,shotdamage=1:state=1
:state=1:activateifused=1,state=2
:state=2,animate=0

;End of Script

From what I have read I understand that the first trigger line sets the animate to idle (value 1). Then line 2 sets the state to 1 if the entity has taken 1 shot damage. The thrid line then sets the entity's 'activtateifused' to 1 (I guess this ids the bad guy as the one to work with) and the final line then spawns the bad guy. Unfortunately absolutely nothing happens when I shot the entity. What newbie error am I making ?

You mean spawn, not swarn.

Yes sorry I mean spawn. any thoughts anyone, please !!!!

try this

:state=0:animate=1
:state=0,healthless=50:activateifused=1

as the main ai for ur entity ur destroying

enter the name u want to spawn in its ifuse field

set the entity u are spawnings spawn at start setting to no

max spaw to 1

max at any time to 1

number to spawn to 1

shoot the entity ur spposed to destroy. when it gets to less than 50 health it spwns ur next one

change the health accordingly for how much damage it takes before activating

works for me
