Path nodes

[potu1304]

Hello all!
I would like to know how I can find out the x,y and z cordinates and the distance to other pathnotes? Because the grunt should go a determined path and then it should dissapear.
Can anyone help?


And sorry for spelling and other mistakes.

Can't you just add pathnodes via the level editor and then create path nodes as usual via scripting? You never need to know coordinates.

But when I read the path notes in other custom stories there is always a distance to other path notes

That file is created automatically if you use the AddPathNode() command.

Ah ok can you maybe send me an example how a AddPathNode() can look like?

[Roenlond]

Sorry, didn't recall the exact function for the paths. Here:

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ActivateMonster", true, 1);
}

void ActivateMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Path_1", 2.0f, ""); //Monster walks to pathnode Path_1 and waits for 2 seconds before moving to Path_2
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Path_2", 1.0f, "");
}

You can also try this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ActivateMonster", true, 1);
}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster", true);
int x = RandInt(0, 5);
for (int i = 1; i > 0 && i < 6; i++)
{
AddEnemyPatrolNode("Monster", "Path_"+i, x, "");
}
}

That would add a random time effect to 5 path nodes the monster could walk on.

Also by the way, the thread's title should read: "Path Nodes"

:p
