I have a small maze, I want an enemy to find the player and close in on him, the player will take damage when the enemy is touching him.

So no problem, zombie AI should do that, I tried it on an empty room, the zombie is daft as hell, first the distance it can see is small, second its hit or miss if it moves towards the player, and then if one moves about it will stop and just walk on the spot, in fact you have to go out of your way to get a zombie to come to you, I even put its sight cone way up, thought it would make it more active.

So the problem we have is one, make it see farther, and 2 stop walking on the spot. I didn't put any way points in, didn't think it would need any, its not walking around having a stroll, it just needs to see you walk towards you, of course if it had to move around stuff then id put way points in, but i just testing on an empty room, what's with the walk on the spot routine, how can this be fixed, I want zombie that come at you, not come at you now and again and then walk on the spot, it looks very wrong and unnatural.

Unless you post or at least tell us what script your zombie is using and what his settings are then there is no way anyone can give you an intelligent response.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

I think that is the script, xplosys? But if it is not, then could you post the scripts you are using, fallen one?

Damn no edit button on the posts,

I see 3 things under AI,
start main and destroy.

Start says appear,
main we can change this, it may say zombie but we can change it to chase.
Third says destroy fade.

So i take this as when game starts appear, do this and then fade if destroyed.

If I change the main to chase it just goes into a spasm in game and stands on the spot jittering.

I don't know why, but it now seems my characters are doing the same. Even with WWII characters that used to follow me, now they just walk in place.

Must be another V1.05 glitch.

It looks like a collision problem with the floor. I raised the character up in the editor just one tap of the Page Up key and after that he walked normally.

It's a good idea to hit the PageUp button once before you place a character.
That alone has solved a number of problems for me.

No, Page Up only raises the entity's height, not the floor. The plus key raises the entity's height.

Duhh, I've been doing it the hardway. Going into the fpe file and setting the y offset to 5.

As opposed to Highlander.
