AI Speaking

Ok, I'm trying to get started on a map... but I would like to know if there is a way that I could make it so that when the player crosses a trigger, the friendly AI says something.

Setup a trigger to go off when walked through, give it a key: setthread and corresponfing value: speech

In you script add a thread, called speech, and add in code like below:

speech:
$friendlyAItargetname say soundalias
end

$friendlyAItargetname - This is the target name you have given to the friendly AI character.

say - This is a script command which will make the targeted character speak.

soundalias - This is an alias from uberdialog, this is what will be spoken.

For example:

speech:
sgt_barnes say dfr_M1L1_104k_1
end

You may also find the following commands useful:
lookat
turnto
waittill saydone

So, if I wanted my AI named 'friendly1' to say something I would write

// Speech Thread

speech:

$friendly1 say dfr_M1L1_104k_1

end

And thats it??

Also: How do I find the speech sounds?? Which pk3 are they in??

Yes, but you need to add:

$friendly1 say dfr_M1L1_104k_1
$friendly1 wattill saydone

The dialogues are in mohaa\main\sound\dialogue, not a pk3, just a folder.

Cool, does this all work in multiplayer?

It should work if you do it correctly.
