dogs

goanyx · Post by **goanyx** » Fri Feb 14, 2003 7:23 am

i want to have 3 dogs in my SP map
what do i have to ad in the script ?
they should die and not respawn .

At this moment, the dogs can kill you , they don't bark ( no sound ) and if you kill the dogs the game returns to the main menu .

can someone help me with this ?

Roger that.

Try implementing them just like any other AI actor. Just follow the spawning enemy AI tutorial, but use AI->German->Hund->dog-real.

It might work.

As for no sound, if you're not using the "test" prefix, check your console for errors, it should highlight any problems with your TIKI.

I don't think with that the dog might charge at you. There's a tut over at MoH in a Bagel.

tryed al those dogs
some attack
some don't
none of them bark
all of them make the level crash when you kill em

there has to be some script loaded i think but wich one ?

apart from that, the first levels of moh:x are ready and although my mapping sucks , i think i can say the AI is doing verry well

this one is for mp's
but i ll try it for my SP level also

the other problem is the barking sound, what would i have to do ( someting with ubersound ? )

mohaa_rox · Post by **mohaa_rox** » Sun Feb 16, 2003 10:13 am

Don't make an ubersound.scr, make a tiki.

See ubersound work-around in tutorials section.

this script works in mp I remove the dog before he dies to keep the server from crashing . It isn't perfect the dog uses player origins for spawn locations and if the player stays still too long can spawn inside player . spawning by coordinates would be better but I wanted a script that I could use in any map . inspired by an early ver of the fifi script I haven't seen that script lately so don't know how it is now , may be better or worse don't know . the dog makes a bee line for the player works in maps with no pathnodes like the mohaa mp maps . I have a tiki that I use to add the dog sounds look in this forum for the ubersounds work around .
or I can send it to you . bdbodger@hotmail.com

I think snowcamp needs dog bots all camp maps in multiplayer please guys

bdbodger · Post by **bdbodger** » Tue Mar 04, 2003 1:15 am

ok I found out why the game crashes with dogs . what i did was run $dog1 exec anim/dog_inihandler.scr which reads

// dog_inithandler.scr

self.painhandler = anim/dog_pain.scr

self.deathhandler = anim/dog_killed.scr

I put that in a map and dog died ok no problem

I guess you could just put those two lines in your script self being the targetname of your dog

this is a great script ... and i got it working on our server... but after a day it just froze up ..

it still works on my own machine but the server dog died..

if you shoot at him he begins to move or should i say switch postitions.. then freezes again... also the sound in console goes crazy.. playing everyting at one time...

the only errors i get when he first spawns is this in regards to the dog.
Script Error: unknown animation 'dog_walk_turn_left' in 'models/animal/german_shepherd.tik'

and also two more.. but i dont know if they are dog related

^~^~^ Script Error: Cannot cast 'NIL' to vector

also i did make a new tiki for sound but it is not working .. whats yours look like??
