I have some Questions

[WarKing3]

I'll start with my first. How can I make my ai stop running out of ammo? My snipers end up going from dealing out complete pwnage to utter failure after a few rounds.

[L0d3x]

From what I recall I seemed to only have that problem when I had my map marked as a multiplayer map.

Change it to an SP map and see if that makes a difference.

[WarKing3]

You can do that now can you? How do I do that? It wasn't around 3 years ago.

Edit: Never mind, I found a tutorial. Thanks for the help.

[L0d3x]

Ah no problem, don't hesitate to ask more questions, here or on msn or wherever!

[WarKing3]

I do have another question. I have a solo map ready for testing and... what button is it to open the console? I have been running my fingers down the keyboard but I'm obviously not pressing the right key.

Edit: Oh I had to place -console after the qoutes. Well that's sorted.

Sorry for the double post, I don't know how to bump the topic.

First, the game doesn't finish, it doesn't do the "Game_Won" command even with all the things above completed.

Second, Before switching the game to solo, I used the server function to tell the player what to do. It doesn't work on solo so how do I give the player ingame instructions?

Third, Is there a way to get teleporters to work in solo?

For question 3, you would put a trigger volume where you would want the teleporter, then a flag where you want him to teleport to. Then you would use a script that i have forgotten

I beilieve to open the console hit the ~ key. On my keyboard it is under the Escape button.

Mine opens with the ¬ key.
