Hi everyone, decided to get into a bit of LUA and I'm just having a complete nightmare. I've been trying to get many character scripts working for the past year with not much success. I've brought back the great models from FPSCx9 that I have purchased long ago and would like to to use in GG. I figure it be no problem to get them to work. I was able to get the Lobotomite to work fine. Though the green one floats during test game always (started happening after a few updates). Anywho, I've been trying to get the very large creature Dante to work since about this time last year with no success. The original script i had allowed for him to attack in 3 random ways but it bugs out to much. The issue im having even with the current script is he keeps stopping in his tracks once he gets close enough to the player. He just doesn't attack unless you move the player in an odd fashion in front of him.
Here is my script (i have no idea what I'm doing anymore) and I feel I'm wasting more time to get a simple script functioning and its been a dreadful experience for when I was able to get simple tasks working in FPI. I feel I have to limit the characters AI just to get them to remotely do what I want them to.

Any help would be great as I'm find this struggle to be depressing.
