Erratic tanks...

OK I have two tanks in my map and I have waypoints set up correctly to make a path so they can drive to the ending waypoint. For the first tank I have:
$tank1 drive $t97
$t97 is the first waypoint heading to the last waypoint.
Well the tanks follow the path fine, but when it comes to stop they play the shutdown sound, but they keep on cruising down the street until the crash into something. What do I need to make them stop? I think I should equip them with brakes

OK
Nevermind I got them stopping!!
What I did was make a trigger_vehicle and once they triggerd that I used the stop command.
Now the real question is what is the simpilest way to make the tank shoot at the player.
Can I just do this:
level.playertanktarget = $player
I'll try it.

I'm no expert, but I think the turet needs an AI gunner that can see and hear.

Thanks, that's a start...
I should break down the tuts and stock maps and try and figure it out.

Well this works fine:
Code: Select all
$tank1 thread tank1target
tank1target:
if (isalive self)
{
self fullstop
local.gun = self QueryTurretSlotEntity 0
local.gun setAimTarget $player
local.gun waittill ontarget
wait 2
if (isalive self)
{
local.gun startfiring // FIRE AWAY!!
}
}
end
