I have just finished my first fully rigged model but i want to write an enemy script (I have know scripting knowledge), so i have two questions.

1:How do you write an enemy script?
2:Can you just edit the Joe foe script?

Thanks. Smile

It would be best for you to start with the joe foe script and edit it the way you want. Once you fully understand joe foe you will understand how to write a basic enemy script.

First play around with the joefoe script, find out what does what, and yes you can edit the joefoe script. Writing a good enemy script is very complicated and i suggest you take a while to learn dim3 javascript before jumping in and making an enemy script.

I just have a few questions,
What would i need to change as the bare minimum to get it running, badly.
Where do i change the mesh?

Thanks.

Typewriter, you forgot the last bracket on your [/code. Should be [/code]. Smile

In the first function, change this line:

Code:

obj.model.name="NAME HERE";

You can check out my basic scripting tutorial if you haven't already: http://dim3wiki.site88.net/wiki/index.ph...g_Tutorial

It tells me that my model has missing or no strike bone. i have set the bone.
What should i do to fix it?

Make sure that what you entered for

Code:

obj.melee.strikeBoneTag='<name>';

is correctly spelled and that the bone exists in your model.

Is the strike bone tag case sensitive?
