Despawns after following path - Karai16 - 05-27-2011
Hey guys, I'm testing my new map right now (it's a test map so don't worry about me publishing it) the thing is. I make a suitor follow a path. I never made a script area to dispawn it, so it should follow its path back and forth for all eternity. The thing is, it doesn't. after following its path, it despawns... what am I doing wrong? O.o

I had the same problem, I think all enemies despawn after reaching their last node. I made an area around my last node that led him back to his first node and it works pretty well but I had to have every single pathnode in his first patrol in the new function. Hope this helps

Say you have like 3 path nodes. Pathnode1 2 and 3 the only thing you gotta do is add the pathnodes.
Code:
void Function()
{
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode1", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode2", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode3", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
}void AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode1", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
So it will look like this:
Code:
void Function()
{
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode1", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode2", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode3", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Pathnode1", float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
}
