Monster Path Help
I want a monster to follow a path, and based on which area the player enters, the monster will enter the same area via a path node. I'm having trouble getting it to work.
void EnteredEnemyTriggerArea(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) {
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "");
if(GetEntitiesCollide("Player", "SonRoomArea") == true) {
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_4", 5, "");
} else if(GetEntitiesCollide("Player", "DadRoomArea") == true) {
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_5", 5, "");
}
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_3", 0, "");
}
pathNodes 1 + 2 help the enemy get up the stairs and into the hallway, pathNodes 4 + 5 are for seperate rooms, and pathNode 3 is at the bottom of the stairs, so the monster retreats after entering one of the rooms.
Its hard to see the truth when you've been blinded by lies.

RE: Scripting a Monster chase
If you use the ShowEnemyPlayerPosition script, the enemy ignores all PathNodeAreas untill he stops chasing the player. He will return to the nodes after that. (Which one I am unsure, but probably the closest one, or the one after the last one he passed before the chase)

RE: Scripting a Monster chase
Sounds like you have only 5 path nodes and expect the monster to find its way to the path nodes. Path nodes are used to help the monster navigate its way around. You're going to need more than 5 path nodes if you want the monster to move as expected.

Is this better?

There are now 31 PathNodes instead of 5. The enemy still isn't following the paths correctly though.

RE: Monster Path Help
You're not supposed to add all the path nodes to the monster, only the starting path node, the ones that are in the center of an intersection (because the monster has trouble walking around corners), and the ending path node.

Gaw, all that work for nothing  I removed all the pathnodes except for _1 to start the path, _5 which is in the middle of the intersection, and _15 and _30 which are in seperate rooms for my if statements. The monster still doesn't walk the path's correctly.
