Hi all, I was unsure where to post this (as I did a search before posting). Boy, I gotta tell ya just how much fun I'm having. I absolutely enjoy FPSCreator and 'am getting better at my craft.

I created a tigertank (based upon the 'damaged' one in FPS (looks great, and in winter-camo.

I have been wondering about what Im going to say for a long time but here goes: Is there a script that someone knows of that I could use to make my tank move, much like say, a pace script? Orrr, is there a way to make em move using waypoints? Does anyone have an example that they could show me?

Give the tank Ai scripts. *NOTE: This will be a bit buggy certain things wont work the way you think. It will act like any other character unless the script is modified properly.*

adding to what goodman said :
it is possible, you would just need to compile a script. I know pretty much nothing about scripting, but you would need to make a "pace" script without the assigning the tank arms and legs. It is a process, and I hope someone that knows more than me can explain this better

The world is like an onion, there's disappointment in every slice.

easy, (if you think FPI scripting is!). even easier if this was in the scripts section, Y'know!

a simple waypoint following and shooting script would work fine!

Hey thanks guys.
Yeah, the scripting route seems to be the way to go. I haven't done it yet though, I first have to convert my script done in Notepad over to *.FPI.

Any advice on how to do this? Do I just save the file extension as *.FPI?
