Well, this is how to add an enemy that is a robot, with chainguns for hands.

1. Add an entity called "Pawn" wherever you want the enemy to be. (Pawn not in the list? Look on the forum post - "Entities not appearing" - or something like that.)

2. Click the modify brushes button, and click the entity you just put in.

3. In the settings on the right, set the Pawn type to "robot" (No CAPS), put the script name to "robot.s" with no CAPS, (if you want it to not be an enemy and be friendly, set it to "scripting_robot.s"), Put the spawn order to "Spawn" (Capital "S") and the sz entity name to "robot" no CAPS. Then press the refresh button. Hopefully it should appear where you put it in!

IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE, THESE VIDEOS ARE VERY VERY HELPFUL! :D

Humpty, people write documentation for a reason. Dan spent hours on that e-book as well. They did that so posts like this won't need to be made and you can get on your merry way creating games. People just need to learn to RTFM before they jump into things. Contrary to popular belief...making a game is hard.

Without getting into a shit fight, I don't disagree with you. It was a simple thanks, to someone who took the time to answer a question that someone else had. I didn't bag dan or the ebook. I provided thanks to a person who was willing to help in the here-and-now. I understand the need for an ebook, I understand making games is not easy.

I wholey admit that I have asked questions in my short time that could have been answered via the ebook or a search. Sometimes a person needs a re-wording or easier to follow example. Or on occasions someone need you to catch them a fish and not tech them to fish.

It was a simple thanks.

I can also understand that. Text is hard to imply emotion and tone yet extremely easy to infer it.
