Node?

[zatrix]

i do not really understand what the hell a Node is ?

some say's it is used to the monster's to where they should patrol
others says that its used to the music and im confused xD

right now im allmost done with my first map the only thing yet is how to make the music change for each Area and how to fix my monster problem cuz i can hear my monster's from the start point !

For patrol nodes, just place this code under your OnStart():

Code: (Select All)

AddEnemyPatrolNode(string& asName, string& asNodeName, float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);

"asName" = Name of your monster.
"asNodeName" = Name of your patrolnode.
"afWaitTime" = I believe that's the time the monster stays at the node.
"asAnimation" = Not sure what it does but probably some animation for the monster. Just leave this blank.

And don't forget to place out nodes in your map. ^^

Thanks buddy,
and its only under "OnStart(): ?
and i have to give the node's name like all other things right?

Yeah, if you're unsure on how to write it, here's an example:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt_1", "Node_1", 0, ""); //Makes grunt move to node 1
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt_1", "Node_2", 0, ""); //Makes grunt move to node 2
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt_1", "Node_3", 0, ""); //Makes grunt move to node 3 etc.
}

For example:

Code: (Select All)

    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt", "PathNodeArea_1", 1, "");
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt", "PathNodeArea_2", 1, "");

For example:

Code: (Select All)

    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt", "PathNodeArea_1", 1, "");
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt", "PathNodeArea_2", 1, "");

Awesome ! you rock guys xD !!
