This is my first script


Read "desc" to know what it does.

I can't texture. I'm not an artist.

Do you hate this script?
Doesn't anyone think this is a good script for my first script?

Jeeze man, Just wait for replys. No one hates them, because no one has really looked yet.

Did it work? Did you build a simple room and watch the character walk the path? I've only seen the action :waypointreverse used after the :waypointstate=5 condition.

I'm assuming that the :waypointstate=5 condition is only true when the character has reached a waypoint with no path leading out of it so its only choice would be to turn around (:waypointreverse).

But I'm curious, if you had a red waypoint chain going from West to East and blue waypoint chain going North to South and they made a T shape (the last blue waypoint overlaps a waypoint in the middle of the red chain) and the character started at the first blue wavepoint (way down south) and starting walking north, would the condition (:waypointstate=5) be true at the end of the blue chain. If so, then using your script would be useful. Then the character would make a random choice to go west, east, or south.

Well I had 8 views.

Yes. I saw it walk and then at the end of the waypoint, it stopped.




EDIT: Ok, somethings up with this script. He doesn't walk anymore! And if he does, he just walks but doesn't move!

Well, if it stopped, it didn't work. It didn't choose a random direction then.

@Brian:

Read the description of his script again. It says that the entity is supposed to stop once it reaches the end of the waypoints.


@TFpsCR:

It sounds like your guy is getting stuck in the ground. Try using "Pg UP" to lift him a little bit higher in the editor to see if you can "unstuck" him.


The one and only,

True but wouldn't waypointstop or waypointnext also stop at the end of the chain?

From my understanding (which is rather limited):
waypointrandom should be used when the bot is at a waypoint with 2 or more possible waypoints to move forward towards.

waypointnext should be used when the bot is at a waypoint with only one possible waypoint to move forward towards.

Ok I changed his script now he moves. But to make him move you can't have a straight waipoint you need to make some turns. Nice for a first script?

Script:




EDIT: DESC CHANGED!

Its looking better. First, update the description. Maybe,


Then maybe add


Now he will not stop at the end of the chain. He will turn around.

I'm assuming that you created two different way point lines and have overlapped them "connected them" at some point in the middle of at least one chain.

If you had a red waypoint chain going from West to East and blue waypoint chain going North to South and they made a T shape (the last blue waypoint overlaps a waypoint in the middle of the red chain) and the character started at the first blue wavepoint (way down south) and starting walking north, the condition :waypointstate=5 will no longer be true at the northern "end" of the blue chain. Now, the condition :waypointstate=4 will be true and the entity will need to make a random decision on which direction to go .

Both ends of the red chain and the southern end of the blue chain will trigger


Certain waypointstates seem to always go with the same action.

I know. But I don't want him to reverse.
