Hi,
I'm trying to make some bots who
follow a looping waypath in LE.
They must stop and follow an enemy
unit when they see one. But when the
unit is killed, they must return to
follow their waypath. Any ideas to do this?
Kind regards,
Brian

Why did you insist
on typing your question
in such a fucked up
sentence? The enter key
is not needed this much.

I actually find it easier to read and take in as the amount he wrote would go across the screen and sometimes might put me off.

Hi,
I found a new way to get a patrolling bot.
If a bot has "go to object" script on him,
he will also attack foes on the way. So
what if you teleport the object which he is
following, each time he is near it, he will
turn back and go to the object which is
teleported now. The object must keep teleporting
then. I thought I thought I had it functioning,
but the "JFW_Zone_Send_Custom_Preset_Enter" script
just won't work. Each time the soldier comes
in the zone, which is around the object,
the object must teleport back to the other
side, so he will keep "patrolling". The object
will be teleported with "JFW_Teleport_Custom".
The object had 2 of these scripts attached, one
for teleporting the item back and the other one
teleporting it to the place the soldier began.
For a picture look to the message above.
Can anyone help me with this?
Kind Regards,
Brian

Hi,
I have found a better way in getting
patrolling bots. I use M03_Patrol_Base.
But once they saw me they won't continue
their waypath. The bots walk slow, just
like the way I want it. Can anyone help?
Kind regards,
Brian

DanPaul88 is the man for RenAI AFAIK.

I asked DanPaul88 for the patrolling bots. I asked
him if he would post his answer if he knew it
right in this forum.
Kind regards,
Brian

I usually write my own AI scripts instead of using the generic scripts to give me more flexibility over their behaviour. I am at work at the moment so I can't actually check into this, but try reading the readme.txt (ctrl+f to find any references to waypoint might be a good start) to see if you can find anything useful.
If I remember tonight after work I will have a look to see if any of the scripts do what you want, if not perhaps I will write one to put into 4.0. From my experience with the Renegade AI it is likely that the reason it does not already exist is because when the bot returns to patrolling they will start again from the beginning of the waypath instead resuming from where they got up to. A simple solution would be some daves arrows with an attatched script with a patrol ID and it's order in the patrol, and using another script on the AI to remember which one was the last one it visited, and therefore which one it has to go to next.
Remind me to look into it at some point.
