Platinum Arts Sandbox - Free 3D Game Maker Forum

This may be a question for more advanced users but I am wondering if anyone has made a working “path” yet?
A path that you can setup for NPC’s to follow so they walk around or to use with like birds that fly overhead.

Oh! I forgot to say, I am also looking for a way to change the player start point. The place where the player’s toon apperars when the game first starts.

Thanks!

The start point should be somewhere in the entity settings, bot paths are being worked on now if I'm correct, I'unno if they've been set up already but there is a map showing it working.

Lots of good stuff in here:

As a note it only works in /coop mode Hirato is in the process of porting the MP bots to SP. Take care and have a great night!

hi,

making bots avabiable in mp is not a big deal, just change some tests on privileges and gamemode in botmgr.h, as the original code is from bloodfrontier (which has bots in mp) it should work.

a second thing: i suggest is to add a distance parameter (radius) to ai, which makes bots stay in an special area and a entity which can spawn bots, also not a big deal. the idea is to have fighting ai's in a rpg, which protect a special area.

new command: addbot [spawnpoint] [skills] [maxdistance]

moviecube will come with a new way of npc's with scriptable actions. have a look into controls.h and actions.h

Thanks Offtools!
This is really good information, thank you!
Tell me; is moviecube available to the general public yet?

Always~
