JackFarmer 611 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 1, AI walks from path note 1 to path node 2 to path node 3 2. Due to player's actions (using switches etc), path node 2 is not availably anymore (becuase it is maybe located on a trap door) 3. When path node 2 is not available anymore, AI shall go straight to path node 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4703 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 If I were doing this, I would just teleport Node 2 to Node 3 (or some other appropriate location) when the player "acts".

peter_spy 1627 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) My first idea would be to target 2 path coners, one would have chance 0, the second chance 1, and then make a script to reverse values of these spawnargs (not sure what's the specific script for that though).

JackFarmer 611 Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Thank you for your answers. However, I have already tried to move the nodes through movers , teleporters or change_target entities. Nothing worked. Are you sure that one of these methods should work?

You'd need to do it by clearing all targets, then adding a different target. There are entities for these 2 functions, or you can use Stim/Response or scripts. Personally I'd use a script so that you can add a sys.waitFrame() inbetween the 2 steps to ensure 100% that the new target doesn't become cleared as well.

That changes things. What I would try in that case is creating an invisible door entity below the map that slides "open" and closed" when triggered. The pathnode can be def_attached to the door entity, allowing it to move from one position to another. I can't confirm that the pathnode will slide through walls, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

You are right, sorry; I forgot to mention that. I have already tried someting like that with the "bind" command. I will give this another try before I go public.

Springheel 4703 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 You'd have to make sure the pathnode is resting on or close to the ground in both positions, but it should work. Bind is probably the correct method.

JackFarmer 611 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hello Springheel, You are right, I have tried this once again and now it works as I always wanted it. Thank you very much for your help! I will adjust this for the two locations in question....and then I will post a release thread. Jack 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
