AI Bots that can fire AA guns.

[StarGeneral]

Okay, this may seem a bit far-fetched but heres the deal.
I want to know if it would be possible to script a bot that goes and controls and AA gun (walks to it, gets in it and fire it at targets.)

I've seen the bots do it in Spearhead, but I want them to fire the AA guns at people and other bots...is this possible?

Ps: I have had absolutely NO luck with even making a bot walk around Im just asking if its possible, not for instructions. If its possible i will ask for instructions ltr.

lol well if you've seen it in spearhead then they obivously can

And yes it is possible.you just need to give the bots coords on to where the AA gun is and you would need to "make" or "find" a script that allows them to shoot the gun..

no no bodger, you misunderstood, when I said AA guns, I didnt mean flak guns, I meant the four-barreled machine guns on the first level in spearhead shooting at paratroopers.

My SH does not work at the moment bad Nvidia drivers but I would say that it they do it in SH then it should be possible . You will have to enable the ai animations by editing the new_generic_human.tik in SH but it won't be a serverside mod . Have a look at the pak1.pk3->gags->T1L2_Flakk88.scr it is mission 1 that you are talking about right .

The Flak guns in T1L1 are script controlled not AI, they just attached an actor to it to make it look good and gave the gun set targets in the sky to fire at.

You could setaimtarget $player to target players via script and the bot will just look like its him doing it - or add a script that targets players for a while and switch to targetnames bots etc etc.

Look thru the T1L1 script files theres some good info in there you will be needing


Bd - theres a link on mRU for fixing the SH/BT problem when installing a new nvidia card - it got mine working again
