intelligent imported models Created 18 years ago2006-06-02 19:52:43 UTC by a

I am curious as to if it is possible to create import a model, say "Kingpin" or other unused models from the origenal half life "pak0" file and place it as an enemy for instance. I am aware it is possible to use a "Monster_generic" entity and select it from there, but if i do it that way, the moster lacks proper AI and behave unintelligently - only following paths that you have set for it and likewise. I tried to transfer the AI from a "hgrunt" but failed, and had it running randomly around a room and mysteriously teleproting from room to room before finally dissapearing completely. If anyone has any hints, please come forth and state them...

Any help will be most appreciated.

it must be coded. Search the net for for tutorials about adding monsters and AI.

codes can be a nuiscance, i think i shall just leave these models alone and apply them as monster_generics in sealed glass containers - a 'museum' of monsters so to speak. However, i shall have alook for such a tutorial in hopes of finding edification on the subject

Sounds good bud.

Code is the only way you can do it. Tutorials would be best for doing it. If your lucky someone might have tried and succeeded and posted their results somewhere. Monster museums have been done several times, not that that's bad, just make it unique :D. GL.

With spirit you can change the model of monsters. Thats probably the closest you'll get without new code.

for the monster museum, i was thinking of something along the lines of having a console at the front of each cell that delivers a short outline of the species containe in the cell. I should probably speak of this in one of the other forums though...
