[SCRIPT] Intro script help and monster nodes [SOLVED]

[lothabread]

hey everybody, i seem to be having a biiiiit of trouble getting an intro up and running for a Demo i'll be showing off for my school sometime in may.

What i want is for the player to look at area 2, 4, 3, 1, and then back at 2. but when ever i do start up the game it fails to go to the second one. Oh and how is it i could go about making an enemy walk around on its own during a cutscene? ive placed nodes and stuff, but he doesnt move away until he sees me? APPOLOGIES FOR THE WALL OF TEXT

As far as I know SenEntityActive should come after patrol nodes and not before

my desktop wouldnt post the other past posts so im on ,y laptop again. and i still cant get the player to look where i would like them to

[Romulator]

Does the player not look at a particular one of your required areas or all?

The player looks at the first one. But then fails to continue to the others.

[lothabread]

hmm okay, out of nowhere, the manpigs no longer walk, and i have resaved them but to no avail, very odd things happening out of nowhere

[lothabread]

alrighty, scratch the before post, i fixed it , but on the other hand, stil havent progressed with the player problem, ive tried the case script but im not all too sure as to how it works

[Romulator]

I never understood cases :p I always used timers. If you find cases difficult, perhaps try them instead :3 Not a perfect way to do things, but it can serve as a workaround in the meantime if that helps.
