Bots!!!

Hey, Jv_map: I followed the tut. on creating your own AI, and it works great!! Now I Just need to figure out how to make them say stuff. I also was thinking-would it be possible to add SH AI to AA maps??

Also: Is there a way to make a friendly AI run to a certain pathnode, once a trigger is set off??

You can't add SH AI to AA, as MoHRad crashes with SH. To make AI run to a certain pathnode, try this:

your trigger, with setthread "AI"

your script:

AI: //this will be called out when triggered
$ainame runto $pathname

If all fails, try:

$ainame thread global/runto.scr::pathname

haven't tried that, but give it a go. Thought I saw this in some script though.

I must be one of the lucky ones. Spearhead does not crash mohradiant for me and I can add anything from Spearhead including AI.

That's so good. I envy you. EA promised to release the LDK for SH, but there's no sign of it.

Both will work (and do the same

), but there's one thing you need to bear in mind. If you just use this plain code, the AI will still try to attack enemies. That causes erratic movements, since the AI is both seeking for cover and running to your pathnode. You can avoid this by either disallowing the AI to attack enemies (type $ainame.enableEnemy = 0) or by eliminating their cover search routines ($ainame.leash = 0).

An easier way is to use AIs with their types set to 'runner'. If you also add key 'waittrigger' value 1, they will wait for a trigger event. You can just target your trigger to the AI.

Well, I tried this:

I set up a trigger_multiple with

setthread runto_elevator

and the thread says

runto_elevator:
level.friendly1 runto elevator_node.

The only problem is, that when I walk through the trigger the AI suddenly spawns (it doesn't spawn at the beginning of the map) and runs to the node. Any ideas??

Try to set this, easier to understand:

level.ai_runner = level.friendly1

level.ai_runner runto $elevator_node

Isn't that the same as my script??

Anyway, now most of the time he gets into the elevator successfully.

any spear user can use ai with mohrad

just rename mainta to something without main in it

change it back to mainta to play spearhead
