Infinite Monster Path - KiraImmortal - 11-27-2013

does anyone know how to make an infinite path loop for a brute?
i want him not to disappear until the proper trigger is in effect. which is the best way for this?

i knew that also, i wanted to make it without making a new monster entity file.

You would need to script a loop, in which if it gets to a certain number, it resets back to 0 or something.

Take this pseudocode for example:

Code:
Spawn Enemy
For i < 7 Do
    Enemy goes to pathnode(i)
    i += 1
    if i = 7 Then
              i = 0
    end if
Next

What happens above is the enemy will walk to the appropriate pathnode, then to the next one. After it gets to the sixth pathnode, it will go back to the first pathnode.

yeah, but will endless cycles work properly in a map? i mean the game will do the cycle forever, and i guess it will never reach the other parts of the code.

No it won't. You can specify how many times you want the Monster Path to be reloaded. Just do that instead.
