I noticed that when I create a waypoint for a object to follow, it will not shoot at the character if he comes close. Can you make it so that the object will guard the waypoint and when it sees the character shoots at it? You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Yes i agree, thats why the foxtrot level's guards dont work. Even it if means the unit will stop, becuase it just looks silly when the infintry units that DO attack you on a waypoint just keep going and happen to shoot you if your in thier way. So, have them stop and turn if they see and enemy. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I think units shouldnt follow the waypoint as directly as it is set, and when they come across enemy units, they should automatically switch to the roaming AI, and when there are no enemies left, bind the unit back to the waypoint. And they shouldn't always follow the exact tracks of the waypoint, as long as they are going towards the waypoints. Much like your own units when you play RTS games like C&C, Starcraft, Warcraft, etc. Your units don't follow the exact route you told them to go to, but as long as they get to the point that they should be in then it is fine.

When binding back to the waypoint, what could keep units from getting "stuck" on obstacles? Edited: 19 March 2005 03:44 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

From experience: don't ever let your waypoint lines cross. Don't have too many units or objects in one area. Units will almost always find a way to get stuck. Until there's smarter waypoint AI handling, I would probably never unbind a unit and set its AI to roaming unless I didn't want it to rebind it later; I would probably set it to Guarding instead.
