lol I'm just lost or just picking it up wrong

I place the zombie in run the script attach the FPS_Zombie script
I Change the attack and prey to 2

I add the fps player shoot it crashes
I add a character using the script like you said I hit the zombie and crash

[StarFire]

lol thanks for working with us to get to the bottom of this

The FPS Player (RMB) is the normal fps preset not need for any other scripts. We need the new preset as I change a bit of script to make it work with the zombie and also added a damage action.

If you could check your FPS player properties and see if it has a damage action, if not it is not the new version and will not be detected by the zombie script.

Ok we have found out what is crashing your character. There is a bug in the animation mapper and if "Not Used" is used it will crash. So for now just set all the "not used" to idle. This we will fix

Look forward to hearing how you get on

[TattieBoJangle]

Works great when all not used to idle like you said ty

[StarFire]

Sure thing I need to update the import model tut anyway as its improved and has easy work flow

[StarFire]

Cool ty m8

[TattieBoJangle]

All we need now is navmesh in the AI

[lordalmighty1]

this is 1 cool spider lol, and it looks and works great now I see

[SolarPortal]

excellent work its great to see it all come together. StarFire will be happy lol

[StarFire]

Thats really great to see, sooo pleased

Yes I will look at how to add pathfinding options for waypoints, paths and navmesh for a new update to the scripts. Just about to look at the soldier, tp shooter scripts

i think it was updated in one of the last releases, are you experiencing problems with it?

[CreativeOcclusion]

[CreativeOcclusion]

Not going good so far...enemy does not attack player...He just runs off and sticks his head in the wall...lol

maybe I can figure it out eventually...

[StarFire]

oh dear

If it runs away it may need its forward direction reversed. This can be done in the mesh editor.

Sticking ones head in the wall is not the best solution, this could be due to the physics capsule needing a greater radius.

Hope this is of help

I cannot get him to go after player at all...he just runs by player and hits wall and just keeps running at wall...I can shoot him and kill him...He just doesn't acknowledge the player at all...

Sure wish I could get this to work....my ai programming skills are lacking......I am using the fellhound model included with SkyLine....

[SolarPortal]

Have you by any chance applied a scale transform to the character models( enemies... )? as character physics relies on a 1:1 ratio.

Another thing to try is a character with a better pivot point.

Hope this helps

[StarFire]

Are the detection flags set correctly?

[CreativeOcclusion]

Detection flags are set to 2 or 3....I will try another character....

[CreativeOcclusion]

I believe the problem lies with the fps kit player....I think I will have to replace the prefab like in Tattie's tutorial...I tried the ai in a new scene and got the same result as in my scene....I was trying to get out of dropping in a new kit player as I have done a lot of extra programming to the one I have....

What is the difference in the ai .zip fps prefab and the original fps kit player?...Is there changes in the microscript?...What are the changes?...Are there changes to the physics?...

ok, will have a look for the damage action on our presets

Edit: StarFire will take over this problem as we may have an internal asset confliction, once checked, we can sort things out for you. The damage action is a main part of it and thank you for being patient.
