The title explains it all.
I am having lots of trouble - its 15 past 4 right now and i have been trying since 1:00.
i'm using Soldier as a basis, and i have put node walking from joefoe in there as well.
it says put unique model code or somthing similar, but whaere does it say the unique code? i saw CW as in civil war in some places, so i used that instead of JF.
While you are helping me Rolleyes

could you tell me how you give the soldier as much "hitpoints" as the player? i cant see it anywhere in the script.

First of all, combining those without paying attention the problems won't magicly work :D.
I could tell you all the bugs there, and take a llooonngg time, or just tell you a better way to do it.
Which do you want?

I kinda realised the first bit.
I changed it a little the smorning, and now its saying "Chaining failed, unknown function 'soldierstart'".
And better way to do it.

I Hope i'm not being to annoying with all my n00bish questions. :/

If you want to add more health to the bot you'd have to add a damage function if you want it to animate when it gets hit, or if you just want it to take as long as the player to die, just increase the

Code:

obj.health.maximum=1;

obj.health.start=1;

Code:

obj.health.maximum=100;

obj.health.start=100;

or 200, I'm not sure...

Thanks chainfist, it works.

I made an AI that walks nodes, animates when hit, dies and runs away from you!!!

I still need to learn the core of java tho, I usually mix variables with Sub-Events and other things :P

Okay, i really need some help. I only have two destination nodes - Dest01 and Dest02 - i copied the demo. please

I didn't use paths, so i dunno. But if there is nothing on the way of whatever moves, you dont need to make a path. Just make it walk.

You've got a few issues in your code, but I think the main one holding you up right now is: you've got your node-walking contained in a function named SoldierStartNodeWalk(), but nowhere in your code is SoldierStartNodeWalk() ever called (so all your node-walking script never gets executed). Try throwing SoldierStartNodeWalk( obj ) in your spawn function or wherever else you'd prefer and see what happens from there.

Hmm. trying it now. I rekon scripting is the hardest part. Thanks for the help.
