how do make AI paths

How do I make it so once my NPC maker starts spawning, the AI follow a certain path to go to the player, or make it so they know where the player is automatically. Also, how would I make a trigger so that once you pass a line or something the NPC maker starts spawning? Is there a link for good AI tuts?

i believe there is a setting which says "first path" or something. get a info_node_corner (i think it is), and then give it a name. Specify that name in the NPCmaker. If you want to get the ai itself to get there, use some info_nodes. The ai can navigate without it (correct me if i'm wrong), but they will navigate better with them

Correction: That is a path_corner

Oh yeah, that's right :smile: thanks

How do I use that exactly? and how could I add some allies? Without them attacking me.

One more question, off topic but what grass texture makes it so grass pops out of it in game? I want actual 3d grass.

Env_global, set the parameters as you like, and then make an NPC_maker with some rebels

Make your brush a displacement, and then texture it with a BLEND texture

Too many questions in this thread

Separate questions from this topic need to be posted in separate topics, as Drshark rightly points out.
