I'm trying to get an animation work,I was trying and trying untill i found out it wasn't the animation but the "go to the node" part that was wrong,but i don't know what i done wrong

I always get an error: "not an actor"

here's the script:

#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_anim;
#using_animtree("generic_human");


main()
{
maps\_load::main();
maps\anim_anim::main();

level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("m1garand");
level.player giveWeapon ("thompson");
level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon ("m1garand");

thread price_anim1();


}


price_anim1()
{

price = getent("cptprice","script_noteworthy");
node = getent("anim_node1","targetname");


price.goalradius = 4;
price setgoalnode(node);
price waittill("goal");


}

It's small but the stupid thing won't work

does this error occur as soon as you start the map? If so, try putting a trigger in to start the prince_anim thread.. because it might be so, that, once the map loads, it immediately wants to run the animation... when the poor captain hasn't even spawned yet.

edit: p.s. I know nothing about SP :p

k i figured it out now thnx :p

But i still have a problem.It works fine without the door,but with the door,he won't run to the node,does he thinks that the door is still closed or what?

CoD had the same problem.. maybe they found a solution there? Try doing a forum search in the CoD SP forum.

If you're having problems with getting Ai through script_brushmodel doors, move the doors in radiant so they start the map as open and then close them with script as soon as the level loads.

If you have moveable doors closed in Radiant it confuses the AI even after the door has been opened in your level. Making your moveable doors open in Radiant gets around this problem.

I've had the exact same problem with my map Stalingrad...I got around it by putting traverse nodes where the actor has to cross the door...works perfectly but looks a little funny since they play an animation like jumping_across_72

However, pure coincidence, I was talking to Ace008 today and we were trying to figure out the problem...if you try out his tutorial, it should work fine. I tried his test map and the actor does get passed the door with simple pathnodes. So here it is:

Hope it helps! Many thanks to Ace008

Nice one, chaps.

I reckon door connectpaths(); is the key to solving the problem, then.

After looking at a couple of scripts that came with the game, I noticed that when they used hide and show to explode a hole in a wall, they used connect paths afterwards. Makes sense.

Yup! Now it all makes sense...I tried using hide and show and all kinds of other commands, but without the connectpaths function, it won't work unless you use traverse nodes...so many wasted nights for a simple line lol...So go grab Ace008's tutorial and have fun

Ye indeed,it works thnx
I tried to enter that line before but i used the node like this

node connectpaths();

thnx

But i had to check the DYNAMICPATH box before it worked,thnx
