Sitting problems

I am becoming synonymous with trouble..

 

I noticed another bug while testing my map.

I checked if this is described somewhere, but did not find any issues like this.

 

Situation:

*A chair with path_corner, path_turn and a path_sit (wait 30, wait_max 60)

*A path_corner away from the chair.

*An AI which patrols the route to (away from chair)->(path_corner next to chair)->(path_turn)->(path_sit)-> (away from chair)

 

This works nicely. The AI walks to the chair, sits down, raises up after a while, walks to (away from the chair) and repeats this.

 

Now, if there is a disturbance while the AI is seated, the AI looks for trouble. Once the AI relaxes from the disturbance, he simply sits in midair at the position he is currently located. After a while he continues with his patrol route.

 

This occurs every time the AI is harrassed while seated.

 

A test map is provided, in which you can alert the AI with a noisemaker arrow as soon as he sits down.

 

 

->Bugtracker?

If it is repeatable and you have a small testmap - yeah, please track it! No promises if anybody can look into fixing it, but a tracker entry is the first step and helps us!

There might be a workaround for now but I don't know if it would work.

 

Set up an invisible non-mandatory objective. Wants to be reversible so it can repeat. Put your own comment in for the text. Make the object to alert and name that specific AI and set the lowest(?) alert level. Add to the objective a completion script naming eg, restoreAIpath. This will trigger if ever that AI is alerted.

 

Create a call script entity, name it above and give it call restoreAIpath

 

Create a script file in your map folder <mapname>.script:

 

void restoreAIpath()

{

$<ai_name>.removeTarget($<path_wait or sit?>);

$<ai_name>.addTarget($<pathcornername>);

}

I seem to remember a large hub-bub about this issue with the patrol - sit - patrol guard in "The Builders Influence", which I simply cannot believe isn't currently as popular or praised as much alongside with the roughly concurrent release of HoLS. I friggin :wub: that FM.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
