Here's a tutorial that should get you started:

People (pawns) are really the most complicated (and flexible) part of Reality Factory.

Welcome to the forum! :D

I followed the tutorial and got no results

I followed the tutorial at http://www.freewebs.com/andycr/pawns.htm . It showed how to do the sript and add the etity. That all went pretty well. However, it said:
you should have a guy standing in your level breathing slightly
Im afraid there was no guy there at all.

Did the Tutorial skip a step? Is there a point somewhere along the line that you are suposed to get a model of a man in there somehow? How is that done? That part isn't in the tutorial.

Any ideas?

Where do you enter the pawn.ini?

Where do you enter the pawn.ini? The tutorial didnt mention entering it anywhere. There is no obvious place to put it. I know that I sound amaturish. Thats because Im an amature. :lol:
