Hi,
I would like to have bots who follow me.
These bots must be allies and they have to shoot
at enemies. The bots are some GDI Snipers, Rocketsoldiers
and normall soldiers. They have to be dropped off by a
GDI transport helicopter on a specific place when
I enter a zone. When the units are dead the helicopters
must come again. It would be nice if they stopped
following me when I poked them. This must be done in LE.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Brian

I saw someone use a script to achieve the following effect, it was something like M05_Guard_Bot <--not the extact name but something similar

Wasn't sure how he used it though

Not sure how to do the poke thing or helicopter thing however.

why must it be in LE? it would be easier to just use a script to activeate a TXT file, and have the TXT file drop off the guys with the proper scripts attached to them.

(i can do that for you)

If you want the bots to be dropped off in a specific place, just create a script zone that plays a troop drop .txt cinematic and then deletes itself. Renegade's AI makes friendly bots normally follow you around.

actually, to my knowladge, you have to have a script like MX0_HuntThePlayer or something like that for them to follow you, or else they just stand there, or if there are ai already in the game pre-scripted, they will move randomly most of the time.

You could try looking at the single player drops and scripts which are .txt and can be used like troop drop etc. you can easly get them from allways dat but there are many so i did it for you Razz If you remember the mission and the place you can find it in the txt cuz they are classified for missions (if you played SP Razz)

Hi,
Sorry but where do you have to place
the Txt documents and stuff and how
do you activate them. I never used
it so I don't know how to do it.
Kind Regards,
Brian

as a drop cinematic or something. use the script "cinematic test" and put the txt name in the blank field under it (the txt has to be in the mod folder)

Hi,
I finally have the bot drop. I made one txt. document with
my own bots. But I need to know one more thing. I want the
bots to spawn again each time they die. For example, if I
have 5 bots with me who all came from the same chopper, I
want the chopper to come again and drop all of them again
at the same place when they all are dead. The bots already
follow me and kill enemy units, but they won't respawn when
they die. Does anyone know how to do this? Huh
Kind Regards,
Brian Satisfied

Hi,
I only need it for the LAN, so not server side.
Because it is for shooting bots with one of my
friends who isn't really that good in internet gaming.
Grtz,
Brian Satisfied

That would be cool.
Another way, not as good, is to have the bots come at designated intervals, i.e. every 30 seconds. That's explained in that tutorial. But Bots coming after they die is definitely better, use what I said as a fallback incase it can't be done (but if madrackz says he can script it, I'm sure he can).

Hey madrackz,
That would be really cool. If you have
the time you could do that, I think
many other people will find that usefull too.
