NPC Waypoint Walking

[Sithspecter 909]

Does anyone know how to correctly implement NPC waypoint walking in K1? I've looked over the tutorials in Holowan labs, and I can get the NPC to walk the waypoints, but once he walks them all once, he just stops. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Yeah, there's a setting in his OnSpawn script that needs to be checked.

     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_CIRCULAR);
     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_ONCE);
     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_PATH);
     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_RANDOM);
     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_RUN);
     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_STOP);         //Causes the creature to pause for 1 - 3 seconds at a waypoint
     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_STOP_LONG);    //Causes the creature to pause for 6 - 12 seconds at a waypoint
     //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_STOP_RANDOM);  //Causes the creature to pause for 1 - 12 seconds at a waypoint

Top one determines whether it's a constant patrol,

Second one is the opposite.

 

Third and Fourth are opposites, depicting whether to order the waypoints in numerical order or not.

 

Fifth is obvious; whether the person runs to each waypoint or not.

 

The rest determine whether or not there is a pause between the waypoints, and if so, how long that pause is.

Thanks very much! My NPC now does a continuous patrol thanks to you.

I would like to ask like same.

In TSL, how can I make with OnSpawn script that my npc walk?

 

I need a sample script or something

Well, here's the default spawnscript... should speak for itself, especially with all the developer notes on it...

void main()
{
    //BEGIN WALK WAYPOINT BEHAVIORS (Comment In or Out to Activate )
    //****** WAYPOINT PATH STYLE ******
    // Object will follow waypoints in order, and then start over at beginning.
    // Example: WP_01, WP_02, WP_03, then return to WP_01 and continue...
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_CIRCULAR);
    // Object will follow waypoints in order, and then follow the waypoints backwards.
    // Example: WP_01, WP_02, WP_03, then WP_02, WP_01,
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_PATH);
    // Object will follow waypoints in a RANDOM order
    // Example: WP_02, WP_03, WP_01
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_RANDOM);
    // Object will follow waypoints starting with NEAREST waypoint.
    // THIS WILL EFFECT THE ORDER THE WAYPOINTS ARE FOLLOWED!
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_START_AT_NEAREST);

    //****** WAYPOINT FREQUENCY ******
    // Object will follow waypoints ONLY ONCE.
    // Leave commented out to have waypoints repeated forever.
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_ONCE);

    //****** WAYPOINT SPEED ******
    // Object will RUN to waypoints.
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_WALK_RUN);

    //****** WAYPOINT PAUSING ******
    // Object will PAUSE at each waypoints based on each option.
    // CObjects will ONLY turn to face in the waypoint direction if
    // the are pausing at the waypoint.
    // The pause times are:
    // Causes the Object to pause for 1 - 3 seconds at a waypoint
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_PAUSE_SHORT);

    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_WAYPOINT_PAUSE_RANDOM);

    //****** WAYPOINT ANIMATIONS ******
    // Object will play an animation that has been specified with
    // SetLocalNumber(OBJECT_SELF, 29, <SOME ANIMATION NUMBER> )
    // Local number 29 is reserved for animations.
    // This may conflict with ambient animations (further down)
    //GN_SetSpawnInCondition(SW_FLAG_USE_WAYPOINT_ANIMATION);
    // If using an animation at a waypoint, uncomment and set the following lin:
    //SetLocalNumber(OBJECT_SELF, 29, <SOME ANIMATION NUMBER> );


    //****** WAYPOINT SERIES ******
    // If this function is uncommented a number from 1 to 99 must be passed.
    // This number represents a waypoint series that uses the string "01" through "99"
    // instead of the creature's tag.
