Getting AI to use MG42...help

Ok I'm stumpt. I tryed a bunch of different things to get this to work but no luck (making me feel even worse...lol). Well anyway this is what I have so far.

I made a siple room(so I can Learn it first)

Put a wall 48 units high in to but he mg42 on

placed the bipod and gun in

then I read a couple of tutuarls and went with them

gave the gun a targetname/mg42

Then added a AI/german/wehrmact/soldier

Gave him key/values

targetname/mg42_gunner

target/mg42

turret/mg42

type_idle/machinegunner

type_attack/turret

And this is my script file:

exec global/loadout.scr maps/test_learn.scr
exec global/si.scr

main:

level waittill prespawn:

level waittill spawn:
$mg42 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42

end

Now I know that the AI is link to the gun ( arrow points to it) and when I compile the map He runs to the gun but will not shot. If I knock him off the gun he pulls his rifle out ad shoots me then(go figure...lol).

any ideas would be great thanks all.

Your script is corrupt, i.e. these colons should be there. Try this for a change:

Code: Select all

main:
    level waittill spawn
    $mg42 thread global/mg42_active.scr::mg42
end

WOOHOOO. It works yeah. Thanks so much JV. Didnt realize I was writing my script out wrong like that. Now I will be able to get all the stuff I have been trying to get to work actually working.

Agian thanks very much.
