Oops, you're right. It indeed doesn't work. You could either use something like:

  global CampGuard;
  CampGuard.GoTo(actor.X + 80, actor.Y);

to position the NPC 80 pixels to the right of the actor (or X - 80, or Y + 80 etc.). That way you can even control the direction you want the NPC approach the actor from.

Or you can download the latest build of WME here, which corrects the problem (hopefully).

Mnemonic you are the man!! :-)

Now it works perfectly!

Now i have inserted another NPC, i call it "guard1" coz it's going to be one of the guards, and whenever the main actor gets too close to the exit of the camp, guard 1 says "YOU DON'T WANNA GO THAT WAY, PAL..." and then walks up to where the actor is.

The problem is that after guard1 reached the actor for some reason he repeats again his line and the both of them seem to be stuck in their Talk animation forever and the main actor is unable to move. Also for some reason when that happens, guard1 is on the foreground of everything...

lol sorry man, looks like i'm monopolizing you! 


here is guard1 script:

and here is the redzone script (the region that triggers guard1's behavior):

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"

global NPC;
global guard1;
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "ActorEntry"
{
  actor.Talk("...whistles...*");
  guard1.TurnTo(actor);
  guard1.GoTo(actor.X,actor.Y);
  guard1.Talk("YOU DON'T WANNA GO THAT WAY, PAL");
}

ok i think i figurerd it out

for some reason the guard1 gets the actor stuck in an endless loop of Talk animation, so what i did was to add an extra line to make the guard1 walk somewhere else after he's done with his lines. 

lol i feel more relaxed right now
