Quote: "That was a joke"
Why didn't they mention that?
But, I've finally got a script written - two actually, one for standard characters, another with animation info adapted for MP 53. I'm pleased with results. I haven't tested it to see if it works for enemy teams, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. If you want a little fun at the expense of a character or two, place an ally with lots of health amongst some enemies and place another ally next to you in another room separated by a corridor, then test it, and have fun watching the guy next to you race off to try to rescue his buddy in the next room.

I forgot to make the characters non-DAI to make them work. When I fixed that, they worked for a little while, but eventually stopped working. I ran up to them and shot them in the head and they just stood there. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks and enjoy,
