Well, im making a small map, just to test triggered NPC scripts...

What i mean by triggered NPC scripts is that when i touch the trigger area, i would like the NPC's (citizens-rebels) to go to a certain spot and take cover...

well, unfortunately for 4 hours i was messing with hammer and its output settings, and yet to have come across a successful outcome..

So, this is how i set my trigger_multiple:

My output named: OnStartTouch
Targets entities named: citizens (My Group of NPC's)
Via this input: Wake

My citizens NPC Group Entity:

My output named: OnWake
Targets entities named: cz1 (My path corner)
Via this input: SetNextPathCorner (I don't know what else to use)


See, the thing is, once i step into the trigger i want them to move... well, i dont know what "Via This Input" to do... i mean, theres so many, and the only obvious one to choose is set nextpathcorner, in my opinion... What do you guys suggest?

Thanks in advance..

You have to trigger the SCRIPTED SEQUENCE, not the npcs! And I'd advise you to use a trigger once for that too

EDIT: I'm going to mention this in my tutorial
