dog follow player

[Phil {sfx}]

Anyone know what the code is to make a dog follow a player?

I have tried various things like tether but had no joy.

I know theres a topic on this on .map but when i click the link for topic 444, i just get a error.

Sure you create a custom dog and make a custom new_generic_dog.tik then he will follow you like the dogs in my rescue map if you script it right .

The_rescue.pk3

Cheers bd,

i'll give that a try.

That works a treat bd, thanks alot.

One more ,

To do this you need nodes, is there anyway to make it follow you without using nodes? Like when its state is attack it moves without nodes.

The "runto" cmd needs nodes, is there any other cmd that doesnt?, tried a few and but had no affect.

cheers.

Any time you have ai you should have pathnodes . If you want the dogs to follow you definately need pathnodes .

Thanks,

I thought you might have been able to turn the player linked to the dog into its enemy so it ran close using the attack state but then have some code reset its enemy when its vector is close.

If you know this isnt possible please tell me or i'll have a bash at a few different ways later.

Is this server side?

[bdbodger]

no not when you use a custom new_generic_dog.tik it requires a custom dog to be created .

Could you just add the animations to the german_shepard.tik?

Code: Select all

	unarmed_run_forward			dog_run.skc	
	{
		client
		{
			0	sound	dog_fs
			2	sound	dog_fs
			7	sound	dog_fs
			8	sound	dog_fs
		}
	}
								
	unarmed_run_left			dog_run.skc
	{
		client
		{
			0	sound	dog_fs
			2	sound	dog_fs
			7	sound	dog_fs
			8	sound	dog_fs
		}
	}
									
	unarmed_run_right			dog_run.skc	
	{
		client
		{
			0	sound	dog_fs
			2	sound	dog_fs
			7	sound	dog_fs
			8	sound	dog_fs
		}
	}
								
	unarmed_run_back			dog_run.skc
	{
		client
		{
			0	sound	dog_fs
			2	sound	dog_fs
			7	sound	dog_fs
			8	sound	dog_fs
		}
	}

This would require a download anyway.
