It might be better to call these pathnodes when the enemy is spawned or when the enemy has reached a certain area.

What neeke said.
Try this for example :

PHP Code: (Select All)

void Manpig01()
{
    SetEntityActive("engineer_1", true); 
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("engineer_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0.0f, "");
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("engineer_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0.0f, "");
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("engineer_1", "PathNodeArea_3", 0.0f, "");
}

You can do this if this works for your map offcourse.

PHP Code: (Select All)

case 6:
            StopPlayerLookAt();
            SetEntityActive("engineer_1", true);
            SetEntityActive("engineer_2", true);
            SetEntityActive("engineer_3", true);
            PlayGuiSound("joint_cage_3lide_open", 10.0f);
            FadeIn(8.0f);
            partSpeed = 8.0f;
        break;

neither seemed to work sadly, they'll just stay in place until they see me, i'd like to add that these manpigs are in another section of the map altogether so i was wondering if the activation distance for them hand anything to do with it ?

[Mudbill]

Hm, it might. If the nodes are too far away, it might not know how to get there. I think it would at least try though. You should scatter some nodes around you map. You don't need to assign them in the script, the monsters will use them as guidelines to get to where they're supposed to go. Also try making sure the script is run after they have spawned. Perhaps that makes a difference.

[lothabread]

hmm well i have them set to active from in the editor and i do believe that i have placed the nodes a fair distance from eachother. but when i actually get to round the corner, there's the first pig just as he is waiting for me.
