If you did do something wrong, what does the error report say?

If you create a loop then the monster will repeat the same thing over and over again, but I don't know how to create a loop. So no, you can't make a monster walk around forever in circles without a loop.

Same Question here.

RE: Monster walking paths - MrBigzy - 04-23-2011

They only follow whatever nodes you tell them to go to, so if you want them to walk around a room for a definite amount of time you could do something like:

switch(GruntNodes){
case 1:
AddEnemyPatrolNode(...
break;
case 2:
AddEnemyPatrolNode(...
break;
...

And go from there. I would say to do this over a while or if loop because those loops would add all of the nodes at once and make the last node overwrite the previous ones.
