1. Set the civies behaviour as "safe" with:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">This setbehaviour "safe"<span id='postcolor'>

2. Have a trigger with the condition field as:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">(civie knowsabout player) > 0<span id='postcolor'>

and its onactivation field:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">civiname dofollow player<span id='postcolor'>

civiname dofollow player

Doesn't that only work if they're in the same group? If so:

TRIGGER:

civ1 distance player < 20

civ1 domove getpos(player)

Just an idea...

That would only work if you had it in a loop in a script, as the civi would move to where the player is, you would have to keep looping that for it to work.

Just set the trigger to REPEATEDLY. Of course, if you do this, he'll follow you around like a little puppy dog LOL! Setting it to ONCE would work, but of course, he would only do it once.

Scripting it would work better as if the civi got more than 20 meters away from the player the loop would stop, (I guess you could say he got lost or something though)

You could do it with a triggers condition with something like (True and playerfollow)

Isn't there a command like retreat=false so they don't run away. I remeber a mission made by Bullet Magnet [VS], we would be attacking the ai and none of them ran away. I think he saids something like the retreat=false but I could be mistaken.

[RED 0]

That command is "this allowfleeing 0"

or just this setbehaviour "careless";

[D.murphy man 0]

srry bout the late reply but i tried careless and safe modes and thet still run away for sum reason its drivin me mad!!but i aint tried the scripts yet

[D.murphy man 0]

civ1 distance player < 20

civ1 domove getpos(player)

As long as the civie is closer than 20 meters to you, the trigger won't become activated again.

Now if you move away more than 20 meters + come back

closer than 20 m, it should work again.

P.S: careless should work

You have to type: this setbehaviour "careless"

into each civie's init field.

EXACTLY! A trigger must DEACTIVATE, e.g. NOT meet the ACTIVATION parameters before it will activate again.

This stuff is C R A Z Y

I LOVE IT!

but i dnt want to keep goin bac towards him to get him to follow me agen.i need him to keep following me like chase me

[BaronVonRed 0]

Then set the trigger to activate at less than 2 meters - that way you get damaged, you try to run away (almost immediately deactivating/activating the trigger) and he keeps chasing you...? Would that help?

Oops, I guess that won't work, cause then the initial detection would be too short. You'd have to add a second trigger:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

TRIGGER1:

CONDITION: player distance civ1 < 20

ACTIVATION: civ1 domove getpos(player)

TRIGGER2:

CONDITION: player distance < 2

ACTIVATION: (damage the player however you want)

<span id='postcolor'>

That SHOULD work a little better...?

OH NOOOOOOOOO - The Baron has thread confusion! Sorry, dude! Then replace the huritng thing in trigger#2 with the same domove thing from trigger number one and I bet it would work great!

[D.murphy man 0]

its not working i did wha u sed and checked it like 5 all redy and it jus dosent work!he jus wlk up to were u where standing wen the trigger ativated and then jus stnds there lookin at u.

maybe if i give u idea of what im doing.im trying to make a zombie mission were if a zombie(civ)comes up to u ull die,so thas y i want them to chase u so they jus dnt walk to a waypoint and give u a chance to get out of tha way.

[BaronVonRed 0]

Have you seen this thread?

We have been discussing a similar issue, which is why I keep getting confused in here...check it out...

[D.murphy man 0]

[D.murphy man 0]

[RED 0]

Yes as I said before just make a script which will look the domove command.

for example:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#loop

civi1 domove (getpos player)

~1

goto "loop"

<span id='postcolor'>
