Monster walking paths

[Kyle]

Don't worry, I'm here to help you.

On the side bar in the editor there is a button called "Areas" and there will be a drop box once you click it. Towards the bottom if it is "PathNode". Click it and place it next to your monster that shows what way it goes. So make a path with them, about a meter apart from each PathNode. Now you have to script.

The script line looks like this:
AddEnemyPatrolNode(string& asName, string& asNodeName, float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);

For example, if my monster is called "Monster01" and the PathNode is called "PathNodeArea_1" and I want the monster to wait between nodes for 5 seconds I would do:

AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster01", "PathNodeArea_1", 5, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster01", "PathNodeArea_2", 5, "");

This would make the monster wait 5 seconds, then go to path node 1, then wait 5 seconds at path node 1 and then move on to path node 2. By the way, the last slot of the script line ("string& asAnimation") can be left blank.

Congratulations, you were just helped by a 13-year-old.
