I have 2 issues that I find odd to say the least.
1st issue:
I put a robot in a one room level and use the robot.s script to run it. It will run fine if it is standing in one part of the level but if I move it to the other end of the room (for example) it dies upon spawning in. I have created 55 different one room levels and get the same issue in all of them.
2nd issue:
I have my own pawn and I use a modified perfectai.s to run it. If I set the perfectai.s to target the robot pawn group it works perfect. I made a copy of the same perfectai.s renamed it perfectai2.s and set it to target the soldier group and set the group of it to robot. I then put 2 of that pawn in the same level. One is run by the perfectai.s and the other is run by the perfectai2.s. They did target each other and did run toward each other. They did shoot at each other. Here is the issue. The projectiles did not go far enough to hit each pawn but against the robot pawns they did. Then the pawns stop firing and just stand there.
Has anyone else seen these issues, and is there a way to fix them? If so please give some detail on how to fix them.

Pawns die upon spawn and another issue
Patience and tolerance are the keys to the passage of knowledge. Even those that are the most knowledgeable started with many questions.
So you first tested with you own actors (pawn models), but the bullets didn't fly far enough and then you tested with both pawns having the robot actor ?2nd issue:
I have my own pawn and I use a modified perfectai.s to run it. If I set the perfectai.s to target the robot pawn group it works perfect. I made a copy of the same perfectai.s renamed it perfectai2.s and set it to target the soldier group and set the group of it to robot. I then put 2 of that pawn in the same level. One is run by the perfectai.s and the other is run by the perfectai2.s. They did target each other and did run toward each other. They did shoot at each other. Here is the issue. The projectiles did not go far enough to hit each pawn but against the robot pawns they did. Then the pawns stop firing and just stand there.
Or did I get something wrong once again?
Well anyway, you can make sure the projectiles fly far enough by increasing the 'speed' and 'lifetime' of the projectiles shot by the pawns in weapon.ini.
If that doesn't help, I would think the problem is in the shooting bones and pawns being hit by their own projectiles. Make sure the point where the projectile is launched is outside the pawn's bounding box. Give it some Z offset to move it further away from the pawn.
Then the pawns' dying... that happens with the robot actor, right?
The only explanation I can think of is that the pawns don't have the death animation you have defined in the script. Then they would try to play animation X, but because it is not found, they just end up playing the default animation, which is standing.
And please, do tell me if I got the whole thing all wrong. I hope I helped even a tiny bit...

Woho! My 400th post!
Pain is only psychological.

I did get the perfectai.s to work for my pawns just the way I need it to. When my pawns fire at the robots that are run by the robot.s the projectiles fly as far as they need to and kill the robots. It is only when I set my pawns up to fight each other that I have the issue that the projectiles dont go far enough and they stop shooting and just stand there after a while. Please understand that they do run to attack each other and they do shoot at each other to start with, then all of a sudden they just quit shooting and stand there.
As for the robots dying when the spawn in. They fall down dead at the second they spawn in. It only happens when they are standing in certain places in the level. If I made a one room level the robot would be fine when it spawns in. If I just move it to the other end of the room, it dies the instant that it spawns into the level. Thats really all there is to the issue. Makes no sense to me that where the robot stands should make a difference. Bare in mind that it just a room, nothing in it, no doors and no windows. Just the robot and me.
Edit 11:42 AM 1/10/2007:
It seems that I did something to the robot.s that caused some random behavior. Im not sure what it is that I did. I just replaced it with a fresh one from the backup of my RF dir. Seems to work fine now.
I do still have the issue as follows:
I have 2 of my own pawns in a single room level.
One is run by the perfectai.s and is set up to attack the robot group and is set to be in the soldier group.
The other is run by a copy of perfectai.s called perfectai2.s and it is setup to a attack the soldier group and is set to be in the robot group.
When the 2 pawns see each other they run to attack each other.
They shoot 2 or 3 shots and the stop and just stand there.
They are both still alive.
If the pawn is run by perfectai.s and will attack a robot pawn until it dies then they should do the same to each other. Right?
Also when my pawn is shot by the robots exactly 3 times the game crashes and there is no errors in the RealityFactory.log. I have confirmed that all of the animations and sounds that I gave the pawn are properly placed and I dentified in the script.
I would have posted the script for whoever wants to look at it but this forum said "The Extension s is not allowed" and "The Extension txt is not allowed". So I pasted the whole thing here.

-----------------------------
Im stuck on this one big time.
As for the robots dying when the spawn in. They fall down dead at the second they spawn in. It only happens when they are standing in certain places in the level. If I made a one room level the robot would be fine when it spawns in. If I just move it to the other end of the room, it dies the instant that it spawns into the level. Thats really all there is to the issue. Makes no sense to me that where the robot stands should make a difference. Bare in mind that it just a room, nothing in it, no doors and no windows. Just the robot and me.
Edit 11:42 AM 1/10/2007:
It seems that I did something to the robot.s that caused some random behavior. Im not sure what it is that I did. I just replaced it with a fresh one from the backup of my RF dir. Seems to work fine now.
I do still have the issue as follows:
I have 2 of my own pawns in a single room level.
One is run by the perfectai.s and is set up to attack the robot group and is set to be in the soldier group.
The other is run by a copy of perfectai.s called perfectai2.s and it is setup to a attack the soldier group and is set to be in the robot group.
When the 2 pawns see each other they run to attack each other.
They shoot 2 or 3 shots and the stop and just stand there.
They are both still alive.
If the pawn is run by perfectai.s and will attack a robot pawn until it dies then they should do the same to each other. Right?
Also when my pawn is shot by the robots exactly 3 times the game crashes and there is no errors in the RealityFactory.log. I have confirmed that all of the animations and sounds that I gave the pawn are properly placed and I dentified in the script.
I would have posted the script for whoever wants to look at it but this forum said "The Extension s is not allowed" and "The Extension txt is not allowed". So I pasted the whole thing here.

Im stuck on this one big time.
Ahh yes, now I remember!
About a year ago I had a similar problem. RF crashed mysteriously every time I killed a pawn leaving nothing to the log. I was using a partially scripted weapon system so actually the pawns were killed by other pawns and then it crashed.
However, I can't remember how I fixed it.
But no fear!! I will test your script and try to find out what's wrong as soon as I can! It might be tomorrow, or on the weekend... or a week from now on. But I will test it at some point.

It seems that I have not fixed the issue of the robots dying when they spawn in. I thought that I had but was mistaken. Good to see that it isnt just me having this issue. It didnt happen at first. It all worked great. Then all of a sudden they started doing it. It seems to depend on where on the level the robot is standing. Weird!!

Patience and tolerance are the keys to the passage of knowledge. Even those that are the most knowledgeable started with many questions.
I'm having the same problem - maybe a month ago I didn't have anything to do and I putted robots all over my school and tried killing them. Now I'm trying to put alot of small robots to somekinda cage(I made them 0.3size and gave them a disk launcher). I changed the script so they wouldn't attack a player, but eachother. I put them all in a small cage are but they just dieincenseman2003 wrote:It seems that I have not fixed the issue of the robost dying when they spawn in. I thought that I had but was mistaken.
