ok this is a really strange problem I've been having. What I am trying to make is a camera scene with an assassin dropping a satchel next to a wall and it explodes blowing up some of the wall, then the assassin runs thru. I have done it with a series of multimanagers and scripted sequences. Everything works fine when I run just csg and bsp. However when I run vis and rad for some reason he just stands there instead of following the scripted sequences. This has me very confused and I am starting to think its a bug. If anybody has any ideas I would much appreciate hearing them.

If I get this right, when you compile your map, you should:

Use HLCC;
Latest ZHLT; and
Use all 4 compiling tools.

HLCC? Are you referring to the console? If so I am using that and zoners to compile. The reason for only using csg and bsp is for a quick compile in order to test the function of entities. It works fine when I do just those, but when I run vis and rad it makes it so the assassin won't run.

Hmm, I wonder if the assassin can't see the node she's supposed to move to, after you've run VIS. You could try turning any intervening architecture into a func_wall so that she has a clear line-of-sight.

I'll try your suggestion gollum tho the architecture is fairly straightforward. I'll try to post a compile log sometime tonight.

HLCC's a piece, use Nem's Batch Compiler.

Have you tried compiling your map with all 4 tools at the same time? I mean, if that words, keep it that way. Dont f**k with the system :grenade:

I dont know how rad could possibly interrupt scripted sequences, but try gollum's answer, that sounds the most correct. Did you activate the scripted sequenc with some kind of trigger?

Well strangely, it's working now. The only explanation I can think of is that I wasn't in console mode after all when I tested it. I'm not sure why this fixed it and I'm even more confused as to why I had the error in the first place. Anyhoo thanks for the help guys.

HLCC? Nem's batch compiler? Write your own darn .bat file!

HL is weird about this kind of thing methinks. Always run with -dev -console, you should be fine.
