I'm attempting to create a character script who will follow a waypoint, until the player is seen, then stop and speak.
The problem I am having is that character doesn't see me nor does it play the sound file..
Any help or suggestions?

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Speak to player, then move to next waypoint

;Triggers

:waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=2,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse

:state=0,plrdistfurther=120:animate=2
:state=0,plrdistwithin=120,state=1
:state=1,waypointstop,rotatetoplr
:state=1,setframe=1,sound=audiobankuserThunder.wav,state=2
:state=2,incframe=1,timerstart,state=3
:state=3,timergreater=6000
:state=4,waypointnext


;End of Script

BTW... this is my first attempt at scripting.

you need to change the commas to colons after state, when you have finished checking the condition a colon seperates it from the action eg

:state=1:waypointstop,rotatetoplr

as opposed to

:state=1,waypointstop,rotatetoplr

you see?

OOOhhh !! OK! Thank you very much, I knew it was something simple that I was overlooking..

Also, I was clowning around with scripts, and I would like for people's input on this one.
It's not very functional, but I laughed and laughed... Just create a set of waypoints apply the script to the Cleopatra character and watch her go crazy when you approach her..She even jumps in the air and rides and imaginary bicycle !!!

desc          = Crazy movements

:waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse

:state=0,plrdistwithin=120:state=1
:state=1:rotatetoplr,setframe=1,sound=audiobank\user\thunder.wav,state=2

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I copied and pasted the code into FPI Editpad and saved it, then applied it to Cleo... now she just stands there until I press the exit key from testing, then she spreads her legs and you hear the thunder...I think she has gas

Thanks for the COLON-oscopy lesson, but now she only glides along her waypoint and doesn't even walk! And she still ignores me...

I tried to modify the code to this to get her walking again, but it doesn't seem to work..

Woo-Hoo !!! Yippey!! Horray!!! Thanks to your help, I finally figured it out.

Cleo will now walk along her waypoints until you get next to her.
She will then stop and face you and tell you what she has to say.
Then when you move on, she will continue on her merry way !!!

Here is the code for anyone who may need it..

;Header

desc          = Speak to player, then move to next waypoint

:waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext

:state=0,plrdistfurther=60:animate=2
:state=0,plrdistwithin=60:state=1
:state=1:waypointstop,rotatetoplr,animate=1,sound=audiobank\user\thunder.wav,state=2

:state=2,plrdistfurther=60:animate=2,waypointstart,state=3
:state=3:state=0


;End of Script

Thank you very much !!!!

BTW... Use Photoshop to cut a piece of cloth and place over Cleo's mouth like a veil and you won't have to worry about mouth movements.

Thanks again everyone !!

You have three colons on that line, check it again.

As I stated in my previous post... everything is working now.... except everytime I bump into her she won't shut up!!! HaHaHa

I need to figure out how to only allow her to speak 1 time then shut up. Any suggestions will be appreciated..

Again here is the code.
