How to get a AIBot to follow a path ?

#1 Does any errors shows up in console.log?
Check out Orcs Rule demo game, there is code for Bot path following.



Consider this code from server\logickingMechanics\packages.cs

onAlert = " %this.allowTacticalMovement(false); %this.followPath(OrcPath0 @ getRandom(2), $Path::TO_TARGET, 1, -1, -1);";

Try to change your code from PATROL to TO_TARGET mode and make nodes -1, -1 like in the example above. Will it work?

#2 Thanks Yuri, I will give it a try.

Where would i put this code, same place as i put the previous code, in my mission file ?

Sorry i'm a little new to scripting.

Best regards.

#3 Ok, i added that code into the mission file, now the bot stands there and faces the player no matter where he goes. Is there anything i should do to get him to walk along the path. Its close :)

EDIT - I got it to work :) . I added this to on spawn:


onSpawn = " %this.allowTacticalMovement(false); %this.followPath(OrcPath0, $Path::PATROL, 1, -1, -1);";

He now patrols along a path. When i use TO_TARGET, the ai acts like a turret, perfect for my needs.

Thanks,

Best Regards.

#4 Hi,

I found the probable source of your issue.

When Path description in *.MIS file is after the aiBot then OnSpawn event won't find the right Path by its name.

Try to change AiBot onSpawn to this:

onSpawn = "%this.allowTacticalMovement(false); %this.schedule(1, "followPath", PatrolPath01, $Path::PATROL);";
