Hey everyone,

I'm actually working on my first FPS-Game and so I'm not really good at scripting.
But I tried to combine 2 scripts I've found here and I couldn't find out where the problem is.

I want my Zombies to pace waypoints and if they detect me in a certain area they hunt me and hit me with the animation/frames of the "meleebite10.fpi".

First, the script:

+ Code Snippet

desc          = Zombie (Pace, Hunt, Melee)

;Triggers

:waypointstate=0:animate=32,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=32,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=32,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=32,waypointstop
:waypointstate=999:animate=32,waypointstop,state=0
:nearactivatable=0:settarget,activatetarget=2,animate=1,state=0


:plrcanbeseen:settarget,state=0
:state=0,plrdistwithin=300:state=1
:state=1,plrdistfurther=70:rotatetoplr,runfore=300,movefore=300,animate=5
:state=1,plrdistfurther=300:animate=1,state=0
:state=1,plrdistwithin=70,rateoffire:rotatetoplr,setframe=8,state=2
:state=2,framebeyond=8 60,plrdistwithin=90:plraddhealth=-10,sound=audiobank\misc\bite.wav,state=3
:state=2:incframe=8,rotatetoplr
:state=2,frameatend=8:state=1
:state=3:incframe=8
:state=3,frameatend=8:state=1

Now my problems:

1. Is it possible to let my zombies for example run in circles? Right now they run from startpoint to endpoint and stop there.

2. The animation of the melee-attack stops before it is finished and so I get no damage. It seems that the animation starts at the beginning again and again. (its actually really funny to watch but not useful...)

Hope you guys can help me!

1. I don't believe that they can run in circles, but they can definitely pace by replacing:

+ Code Snippet

:waypointstate=5:animate=32,waypointstop

With this:

+ Code Snippet

:waypointstate=5:animate=32,waypointreverse

2. I believe that is happening because you are telling it to rotate to the player while trying to advance the animation. Therefore, removing:

+ Code Snippet

:state=2:incframe=8,rotatetoplr

And replacing it with:

+ Code Snippet

:state=2:incframe=8

Should fix it.

Happy to help,
Akanto

Hey Akanto,

thanks for your fast reply!!!
But your solution for my second problem doesn't work either...still the same strange behaviour.

And to your first tip: I tried "waypointreverse", too, but then my zombies permanently run on their waypoints, no matter if I walk in their detection area or not...they don't react.

of course they can run circles! set the waypoints in a circle!
(picture)

try this script! i not often create npc scripts so i hope it is funktional! which zombie do you have? some zombies may have a animation who dont work with standart scripts

+ Code Snippet

Thanks for your reply, too!

But I'm afraid to say that your suggestions doesn't work either.

Now the zombie walk straight in my direction (without pacing the waypoints) but if I step beside they still walk in the same direction (which is now wrong because I changed my position...)

But maybe I just have to modify a little thing in this script or in Akanto's one...?
I'm so sorry that I don't have that much knowledge about scripting. Sometimes I think I understand those expressions...but then, even the simplest things won't work...
