Hi All

I have a little problem, with creating a NPC, that can walk.
I made my NPC over the tutorial Twilight Suzuka (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=11756) created, but I just didn't get what he meant about 'EngFunc_RunPlayerMove'.

I have used the some time searching the forum, but I couldn't really find some explanation. Maby it's just me that didn't read the tutorial right, I don't know

So my help request in short is, how do you use 'EngFUnc_RunPlayerMove', or how do you make a NPC walk.


(Please C&P the Example Code this into your thread, showing how I could make my NPC walk)
Example Code:

/* Zombie Attack! By Alexander Mathiasen. */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>
#include <fakemeta>

#define PLUGIN    "Zombie Attack!"
#define AUTHOR    "Alexander Mathiasen"

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin("Zombie Attack!", "1.0", "Alexander Mathiasen")

    register_think("npc_zombie", "zombie_think");
    //register_cvar("za_zombie_health", "100.0");
    register_clcmd(".create", "zombie_spawn");
}

    /* Creates a new Variable 'eZombie' to store the entity to. */

     * and the maximum size to the Float 'maxs'.. */

}

public zombie_knife(ent)
{

    /* Creates a new Variable 'eWeapon' that holds on the Entity 'eWeapon'. */
    new eWeapon = create_entity("info_target");

    /* Gives the Entity 'eWeapon' a name 'npc_knife'. */

    /* Makes the Entity Non Solid, meaning that you can go through.*/

Sorry for all wrong or none comented code, would like to hear everything i understanded wrong there to

Thanks in advance, Alexander M

EngFUnc_RunPlayerMove is for bots, if your not desigining a bot (which your not) then ignore this.
EngFunc_WalkMove is for monsters. Search HLSDK how to use etc.

[AlexanderM]

So I missed something Thank you for the help Orangutanz

EDIT:

Just one more question. You said 'HL SDK', program or website?
Again thanks for the help

EDIT 2:

Hmmm... I've played a little around with the enfunc(EngFunc_WalkMove)...
Im not sure about what they mean about 'Yaw' and 'iMode', my zombie is still standing the same place, that I spawned him :S

      //const ENTITY, Float:yaw, Float:distance, iMode
      engfunc(EngFunc_WalkMove, id, 0.5, 50.0, WALKMOVE_NORMAL);

Could you please post an example?

Alexander

I've been doing some testing, and the yaw is the angle referenced to the X axis of the model for the NPC to be running.
