Enemy animation doesn't play 
			 
			
				void AddEnemyPatrolNode(string& asName, string& asNodeName, float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation); 
 
Adds a patrol node to the enemy's path. 
 
asName - internal name of the enemy 
asNodeName - path node 
afWaitTime - time in seconds that the enemy waits at the path node before continuing 
asAnimation - the animation the enemy uses when reaching the path node  
 
If I'm looking at this correctly, there's no reason my script shouldn't work: 
 
AddEnemyPatrolNode("remnant_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0.001f, "attack_short1.anm"); //it's a suitor, by the way 
 
Yet, when the enemy reaches the patrol node, it does nothing. Does this function not work?

RE: Enemy animation doesn't play 
			 
			
				As I understand they only go as far as you use the AddEnemyPatrolNode, so when it reaches the last node it stops there 
 
so say it moves from node 1 to 20. then you could place a script box to cover the patrol node nr.20 and use a new AddEntityCollide for the monster to walk from node 20 to 1, now he's patroling that area, if you add yet another script to cover patrolnode 1 to 20 again. I think I recall testing that this worked some time ago. 
 
EDIT: Ah it's late, didnt read you post properly, sorry

				As far as i know, even if it did work (though, i'm not sure if it is supposed to work), it would most likely get overridden by the dynamic conditions of the monster.
