Enemy with weapons?

Dysphoriac · Post by **Dysphoriac** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 1:06 am

Can anyone tell me how to make a scripted enemy hold and use a weapon. If anyone can, then an actor and script would be a nice example.

Theres a command for the the weapon ( I belive it's HighLevel)
If you want the pawn to have the weapon at Spawn, just add this in in the Spawn() Order.

SetWeapon("Bat");

In the Pawn.ini you need to define it as weapon

[Bat]
actorname = Bat.act
actorrotation = -90 180 0 0
actorscale = 0.2
fillcolor = 0 0 0
ambientcolor = 0 0 0
type=weapon

Dont forget to have the same skeleton assigned to the .act weapon.
boundingboxanimation= defaultpose
subjecttogravity = true

Where are you getting stuck?

Well, I'm not sure, I don't know what the "highlevel" thing is and I'm not sure where to put the SetWeapon("Bat"); (in the entity?)

Have you configured a pawn weapon entry in the pawn.ini file?

Also has a bat weapon, check the included weapon.ini for the bat entry and put it in the standard RF weapon.ini. Sounds go in /audio, script goes in /scripts, actors go in /actors

yes, all I had to do is copy paste what you wrote into the weapon.ini and then change it to the correct weapon and model, right?

I never could get the setweapon() thing to work, I always
stick a weapon on each baddie, see maxgena2.zip on
http://terrymorgan.net/download.htm for how to do it in Max.

Dont think your supposed to combine all the files. Go to the ai ini file and add the setweapon line. Then go to the weapon definitions which is separate file and add the definition.

Dont worry about high level right now.
