dog

[k47a]

ow, i wanted to have a ze german sheperd in my map that behaves as if it was on a leash (which is attached to a house), i.e. runnin a radius and stuff...
i put some pathnodes around it, but hey, it just goes where it wants... can anyone help me with this, please?

Make some barriers it can't cross.

Well the problem is that the dog doesnt give a damn about the nodes, it just goes behind the house and hides there (well it's a ze german dog). i dont think barriers would fix the problem...

If ze dog is like a monster, you can use a monsterclip

I did a custom dog for a couple of maps , one I called the rescue and the other I called snowfun 2 . The snowfun 2 map had a doberman made by small sumo . The thing that is custom about the dog(s) it that they use a new_generic_dog.tik I made that subs dog animations for human animations . What that does is make it possible to script the dogs as you would an ai . That is you can set the type_idle to runner or patrol and set the patrol path as you would for a ai in a single player map . In the snowfun 2 map ( made for JV's snowcontest 2 mod ) the dogs run a preset path that connects back to it's self so that they run the path over and over again . You could use that and create a patrol path .
