Everyone's been asking, I figured it was about time everyone found out. There are a few things to help you in it along with the tutorial. Enjoy!

(This isn't in the tutorials section because no one looks there. (Or at least I don't.) I thought more people would see it here.

Can you make it so the AI's keep respawning?
How about so they know where you are at all times, so they are always running towards u, that way, it'd be harder.

It'd be cool to play a level like Derilect, with 3 sword elites, who kept respawning!

yeah you can do all of that, with a stalking script or something, but ive never done the know-where-you-are-at-all-times thing

is this possible to do on xbox without the HEK?

u can make ai respawn by replacing the med kits with the vehicle that u use to make the ai spawn with and it will spawn like crazy...u can also use a overshild, grenades, or invisibility

and somehow the proper, non-laggy version of that doesnt draw your attention? i made a vehicle respawning ai mod about 7 months ago.

Alright, now I'm more of a simple modder, but from what you're making this sound like, I can make respawnable AI in maps with this? If so, is there an easier way than reading this huge document?

The Swamp Fox · Post by **The Swamp Fox** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 3:29 pm

uhhh nope it doesnt get any easier unfortunately

Interesting if true... Oh well, my dreams of being chaced by 50 elite and grunts in BG are shattered... for now.

Hmmm this will take a while. Why didn't you just add a fcn to hXe to do the AI process? That'd make it a lot easier.

now maybe people will actually understand why this information is not released as soon as it is figured out. its not simple stuff and it takes time to simplify...the method i used in SC was even more complex than the one you see outlined here. when i made the grid i was testing this tutorials method of injection. it worked needless to say, because the beams and doors worked, as well as the ai. if you dont understand it dont feel bad, but dont complain about people witholding information that you would have a hard time using. (if anyones wondering where this ranting is coming from, its mostly about people flaming MonoxideC for not telling how to do some of the things hes done, but ive also been accused of hoarding information -_-)

swese44: thats a lot easier said than done...why do you think sparkedit doesnt do this

swese44 · Post by **swese44** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 3:50 pm

I was kidding by the way, I'm not that ignorant:

Thanks TSF, I have nothing but respect for everything you've been doing.

thinkreddie · Post by **thinkreddie** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 4:15 pm

the person that hoards info is flesh rider....

WHY ISNT THIS STICKED?!!?

question, the reflexives have to be in a certin offset, but what about the translation? and do those reflexive offsets apply to ce?

The Swamp Fox · Post by **The Swamp Fox** » Wed Oct 13, 2004 6:31 pm

i dont get you, but i can say this: both ce and xbox metadata engines run the same way, so the answer to your question is probably closer to yes

thinkreddie · Post by **thinkreddie** » Wed Oct 13, 2004 7:15 pm

*sigh*... this is harder then it looks!

and, I know nothing of reflexives!!!
