In movebad, you've got:

mZ# = object position -x-(50)
mX# = object position x(50)
mY# = get ground height(1,mX#,mZ#)

The -x- seems to be a problem, as it should probably be z.

As for facing the opposite way, does he at least move in the right direction? You could try adding this straight after loading the bad guy object and animations:


That will spin him round to face the other way, then reset the pivot so he's permanently like that.

Hope this helps!

Simple: after issuing the point object command, add this line:


That will reset your monster's x rotation value, which is what is used for pointing up and down, while leaving the other two angles the same as they were after pointing. Hope this helps!

Also, I'm now testing out a new sig - let's see if it works...
