Hi GameGuru people! This is my first time posting on the forum, and I've already got a question.

When I assign to the masked soldier's FPE file any custom weapon (e.g. Model Pack 9 AKM), the AI only stands there and doesn't shoot back. Only if I get real close to him does he start shooting at me.

I read in one of the posts around the forum where it was mentioned that the problem has to do with the FIRESPOT bone not being on the same axis as the weapon. So I attempted to re-align the FIRESPOT bone in Fragmotion, but it still does not work.

If a kind soul could please explain to me how the FIRESPOT bone should be aligned, I will be eternally grateful.

The fire spot is not the problem. I been getting the same results even with the game guru characters. Plus they aren't even shooting at you. They shoot at the ground. And just stand in one place. I'm going to try Lee's new ai_melee.Lua to see if that's been fixed.

Welcome aboard!

Have you adjusted the masked soldier's view range in it's properties? Also, adjusting the view angle can give him quite the advantage! 180 = 360 degree view.

Hi Jerry. Thank you for replying.

I have played around with the view range and angle, but it unfortunately makes no difference. I did have a little bit of a breakthrough when I copied the stock Uzi's VWEAP and pasted it into the Model Pack 9's AKM folder.

So at the moment the masked soldier is running around and shooting back at me. Now I must just find a way to copy the AKM's VWEAP body over to the Uzi's VWEAP. Lol!

I haven't used it yet, but Bored of the Rings' Weapon Welder apparently will do the conversion of FPSC weapons to be used in GG. He has a free version now available in the Third Party Tools forum:

EDIT: I just looked at it and I think it only work for the player's weapons, not NPC weapons. I could be wrong, though. I'm sure someone will be along here eventually and solve your issue. I wish you luck!

Thank you for the link, Jerry. I will definitely check it out.

I had the same problem. Here is the thread.

Hi Wolf.

Thank you for the link to your thread. I'll have a read through it.

If you don't get it sorted and you can PM me a link to the VWEAP you're using I'll take a look for you. Assuming I can remember what I did in that other thread

Obviously I have the masked soldier but don't have the weapon model to change/test.

Cheers.

I misread the post! Boy do I feel stupid. Sorry Solar.

Hi Cybernescene. Thank you for being willing to help me out. I think I got it sorted now. What I did was I copied the bones from the Uzi's VWEAP over to the AKM's VWEAP, and now it works. Yay!

Hi Blacknyt46. No worries. Thank you for replying and trying to help out. I hope that you get sorted with your AI soon.
