I try not to bother anyone but I decided to make an account and ask for help with this script that wont work. I probably made a simple and dumb mistake but here is the script:

Thanks.

void MonsterWalk1(string &in asParent , string &in asChild , int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster1" , true);
}

Remove both of the

void AddEnemyPatrolNode(Monster1, PathNodeArea_35, 3, string& asAnimation);

Maybe change it to

void MonsterWalk1(string &in asParent , string &in asChild , int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster1" , true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster1", "PathNodeArea_35", 3, "");
}

I changed it and now have this:
The monster doesn't spawn when I walk to where I placed the script though (it doesn't ever spawn).

////////////////////////////

The monster doesn't spawn when I walk to where I placed the script though (it doesn't ever spawn).

There is no problem with your code. Make sure the Script Area / Monster names all match up exactly. Its one of the more common mistakes.

Wow, I feel stupid now.
Another question, I want the monster to go on another path when I spawn him again later in the level and hit a couple of nodes, how would I get it to work? When I tried this, the game crashes:

Thanks again.

Hello, nice to meet you. To your latest question, you should try to spawn a completely different monster aside from your first two monsters by adding an monster entity called, for example, "Monster3".

I want one monster to follow that path though, wont it look weird if a monster spawns in its place?

While doing this you're going to use two different functions, right?


My point being; it's two different functions. The first tells him to go to one place, and the other one tells him to go to another place - this means that when the second happens (assuming he've been deactivated in another script area), he won't follow the first path nodes.

However, if he does, you can always use;

ClearEnemyPatrolNodes("Monster1");

I don't understand, I have the Monster2 walking to different places around the map but it says that the pathnodes don't work.
