Would it be possible to release a simple waypoint script that you could attach to any entity and have it follow waypoints? It would make life much easier for those of us who are not great at scripting. I've tried taking the waypoint code from the existing scripts, without success.

not 100% sure you need all of that code but it works so it'll do (maybe someone who understands it better can clean it up)







note; no idea why but your raptor lies down when using it but the shark & stock characters work fine

Thanks smallg, that works well. It's the raptor's death animation that plays, so it's getting called somewhere in the script.
This thread should probably be moved to scripts.

Just had a look, and I see that there's no animation called in the script - weird.

There is no animation called in the script, but when it is calling that function, I'd hazard a guess that it's calling an internal function and that's where (I'd guess) the animations are being called. I'd bet if you limit your raptor's walk cycle to the same as the other characters', it might work.?? We used to be able to control animation/frame ranges in the fpe (classic); don't know if we have that ability yet in reloaded.

yep there are two ways to control the animations
inside the fpe you can set
anim0 = start frame, end frame
anim1 = start frame, end frame
etc

or inside a script you can use -note i believe this doesnt work correctly yet but should in the hotfix
SetAnimationFrames(start, end)

Usually indicates that then name of the script and the init and the main are not the same name. Check that out.

My code not work.

This code is to patrol example where the enemy goes from one point and back.

Like, he goes to X, go to Y, go to Z and back to X.

Is this the code?

I'm looking for that code.
