 Re: I want my npc to do something specific

I am working on a single player map at the moment and having trouble getting my npc to do something specific.

I am using rally points and whatnot and don't want to know all that

I just want to be able to make npc move to assault point without firing and AFTER moving to assault point just stand still for a specific amout of time say 60sec before attacking me even while they see me.

Basically I want them to stand still and look at me until the end of my mp3 that I set to play and as soon as it ends start attacking me.

If there is another way I have to do this I would like to know that too.

Thanx for the help - I can't move on until I figure this out

Path ents, at the path ent you want it to stop at, have an output saying that on pass wait here for X ammount of seconds. [addsig]

Thanx for the suggestion slayer but it seems to still do the same thing. As soon as I am in view of the enemy they start assaulting even before they get to the path ent or assault point.

In the class info of the path ent there is a wait this amount of secs, but that didn't work.

I would make an output that said onpass but then I couldn't find a wait here to add to the ouput - dunno if that makes sence
Basically output = onpass - marine1 - ? no wait here

Also are you saying to just use path ent or in combination with rally points and stuff.

I have 5 combine that I want to go to a postiton w/o assaulting me on the way to the position while they see me and wait there for a set amount of time.

Also I am using a trigger to set it all in motion so that when I enter the room they go to position

Try a scriped sequece, this way it overides the AI and they will walk there and then you can trigger another one from where you want them to stop.

Ok, heres what you do:

Make your npc named jimbob, and check the "LooK Off" flag, also make the npc asleep, waiting on input

Then make a scripted_sequence entity, have it call Jimbob, and set the "move to" field to run, walk, or whatever you want. Put in an idle animation for the action animation field. Then add an output to the scripted_sequence for "on script" (or something like that) targeting Jimbob, with a delay of 60, Look On

Then make a trigger to activate your scripted_sequence, and wake Jimbob. This will cause him to suddenly appear, run over to the scripted_sequence's location and stand there for 60 seconds, then he will see you (if pointed in the right direction) and attack (if an enemy).

Hope that helps,

HK

Thanx for the input king and omega, I figured the first part of it out and now I can finish it up with your message.
