Activating AI

[DOAmaster]

I have a few maps that have NPC in them but the AI is disabled is there any command to turn on the AI in half-life 2 MP

oh ya i forgot to add how do you change the server name when you make it right off the game?

You're trying to enable AI for monsters spawned in HL2DeathMatch?
Also, server name options might not be in the GUI yet, in which case, you'd need to edit a config file.
(listenserver.cfg or server.cfg, or something along those lines)

 

[DOAmaster]

and where exacly is the file?

 

[aeroripper]

Ai is disabled in deathmatch and none of the pre-set definitions for AI behavior are set in DM.

You basically have to tell them how to do stuff throught scripting but its buggy and not that great... do a search for "I got AI to work in DM" or something like that

you'll still hafta make a script to "activate" them when entering the level but all their AI routines arn't run like they are in single player

good luck

ok thanks but how do I change my server name?

 

[Sloth]

In Console:

hostname "Name Goes Here"


I'm pretty sure that's the command for changing server names.
