1) M03_goto_Star (this make the bot or tank hunt the player

2) click innate in the mode for the bots (i think)

3) Dont know.

4) I dont think so, but make sure all the values in the script have been added.

There are many scripts that can be used to have a Bot hunt down players, any of them should do.

When making a Bot, if you don't want it to move period you'd check the InnateIsStationary box or, if you want it to remain in one specific area you could try playing with CoverType/CoverSpots but I'm not sure if that works server side. Mainly AI Bots stay in one place until they hear/see an enemy unit approaching and then they move out after it unless they lose sight of it. If you want your AI Bots to remain in base then there's not much you can do about it, once they're on the move there's no controlling them. But if they lose sight of something they stay put for the most part. If you use a spawner then when they die they'll be back at base.

Setting up AI Bots on waypath is easy, use JFW_Follow_Waypoint (might not be waypoint, maybe waypath, bah...) anyways, you make a waypath and then you use the script on your AI Bot and plug in the parameters and values, etc. However, waypath I hear goes onto a .lsd file, not .ldd, so it might crash the server.

Adding scripts to the wrong thing MIGHT crash your server, depends though on what you're doing and with what, lol. Usually though, nothing will happen. Your server might be crashing if you're not using a bot fixed server side mod or if you did something wrong when making your AI Bots (I'll be posting a tutorial on RenHelp.net on how to properly configure AI Bots server side soon).

As far as the keycard thing goes, I'm not entirely sure. But to get rid of things like those red fences you add in Level Edit and you can add an object(s) to be destroyed to delete the fences. Use a JFW_ (I think it's death_destroy or something), attach script to object that needs to be blown up to delete the fence(s), etc.

As far as the last thing, you decide what you want to add the script to. If you add to the bot/spawner on preset list it'll apply to all that you make, otherwise if you use one a current bot/spawner in your map it'll only apply to it.

I'll get a tutorial up soon, I hope I could help for now. Wink

If you want the bot to forever hunt then put it on the bot on preset list so it applies to all.

As for the keycards, you can't spawn keycards ever, it'll instantly crash your server. But you can have ppl buy from a switch or whatever. But right now I'm not sure (off the top of my head) if there's a script to destroy an object(s) when you enter a zone with a keycard. C++ could do it though, but you need someone with an adequate knowledge of C++.

Talk to zunnie for some more help, he may know a way. Wink

If you want characters to stand in one place and never move check the InnateIsStationary box when setting up the AI Bot.

If you want them to move then leave them be.

For hunting, use scripts.

I don't know if there is a script to make Vehicle Bots stay in one place out yet. But I heard awhile back on RenHelp.net there would be one that allowed you to tell the bot to return to it's original position.

Now to make Vehicle AI Bots you can either use the current tutorial on RenHelp.net (which kinda sucks) or use Neo_Vehicle_AI (nice script with a few easter eggs I learned Surprised).

If you need more help get TeamSpeak and join my TS server (link can be found at www.worldwidehelp.co.nr on the homepage, just click the TS icon). Wink

First, CPU_Neo_Vehicle_AI hasn't been added (for some odd reason). So use Neo_Vehicle_AI.

Second, I don't think you can actually move the spawners (I've been told you can't move those) but you can create teleporter zones and as you pass through checkpoints (script zones) you could have a script delete a laser fence surrounding the teleport zone so people can enter and go to the last checkpoint.
