[SCRIPT] Enemy Patroling and Disapearing: Help!

[Cocomunches]

This is just a brief help. Basically you could set unscripted pathnodes to the room where you trigger the monster/player hides. When monster arrives to the room it starts to look for the player from the place you were during activating the trigger. After herpderbing a while, monster just stands there unless there is a pathnode nearby.

Place some pathnodes out of the room and to the end of all these pathnodes set up a area where the monster disappears. For example
SetEntityActive("Monster_Grunt", false);

Note that pathnodes can work without scripting. I recall using this method in one of my earliest custom stories.
Try it out. Hope it works.

Ah, I'll be sure to try it out. I thought you had to script it all, hehe.

But I did put some around and I didn't see him moving around.

Alright, so

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

// Run when entering map

void OnStart()

{

SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("scareactive2", "OnPickup", true);

}



void OnPickup(string &in asEntity)

{

SetEntityActive ("Monster_Grunt", true);

ShowEnemyPlayerPosition ("Monster_Grunt");

AddTimer("monsterstart", 90.0f, "byegrunt");

}



void byegrunt(string &in asTimer)

{

SetEntityActive ("Monster_Grunt", false);

}



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

// Run when leaving map

void OnLeave()

{



}

Works!

Now all I need to know is how to make the monster follow the paths! so if anyone could help with this, I'd appreciate it.
