Are grunts programmed to disappear once they finish a path? - Cyfiawn - 06-28-2012
Hello,
I thought I read somewhere that once a Grunt finished it's Path (Path Nodes), if the player isn't looking at it, it should disappear? Or do I have to program it disappearing myself? I currently have this, which triggers from a player walking into an area:
PHP Code:
void ZombieTrigger(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState){
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_4", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_7", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_9", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_10", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_11", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_13", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_15", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Zombie_Spawn_1", "PathNodeArea_16", 0, "");
SetEntityActive("Zombie_Spawn_1", true);
}
Once it reaches node 16, it just starts walking aimlessly into a wall, and sometimes bugging out and spinning around in circles. I have double and triple checked the path nodes, and they are all correct, I'm just confused as to why he doesn't disappear after touching node 16?
Thanks,
Cyfiawn
EDIT 2.1: Edit 1+2 didn't work...gunna remake the nodes and script from scratch. >_>

I think so, but remember to keep your scripts clean too, it will be much easier to work that way.
Keep them in lines like this:
void blabla()
{
script
script
script
event
}

The script was clean, it was just copy+paste that didn't work to well.
I've formatted it now on the post. Still getting the issue of him not disappearing though. :/

I remember in my first test map my grunt was bugging like a mad man. Anyways, the monster should disappear if it has finished walking all the path nodes, the player isn't looking at it and is a specific distance away from it. This video is really informative about how the monsters work; it's worth your time.

All is fixed and (hopefully) working. Done several tests, seems fine.
