Nodes problem

[Gamemakingdude]

Ok i have nodes in my map and the infected follows some of them. But he stops at some of them
I also would like it that he would just follow them without stopping at them for like a period of time.

Have you done scripting for the enemy nodes? eg.

AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 1.0f, "");



the 1.0f is how long the enemy waits at the specific node for. Also maybe your nodes may be too far apart ?

Most of them are all close to each other and its 0.0f. i have in mine.

Another problem i have is that i have a statue, that isn't active in the editor but appearently is active in the game. And it should only go active after i walk through a script area.

The best thing you can do is show us the script, i believe; (That part of it)

Aha! you only have 1 patrol node ! You need to write down what i said roughly for each node you want so if you have 100 nodes you need 100 lines of the node script.

Also you would obviously change the name to node 2 node 3 node 4 etc.

AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 1.0f, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 1.0f, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_3", 1.0f, "");


EDIT: unless the +i that you have does that, if so then i have no idea whats wrong. maybe you should call the first node = PathNodeArea_1 instead of missing out the 1 ?

The first node is for another enemy.

"PathNodeArea_"+i is it not PathNodeArea_1 though? then 2 then 3 etc.

Also which ever node you want the enemy to use put its number in, so if it starts on number 12 start with 12 till the ending node. Only thing i can think of.

Edit: have you used map view to check that all the nodes are properly working? and maybe the time coudl be changed to 0.1 incase 0 doesnt work right?

I'll try this.

Doesn't work. The nodes are all connected to each other.
