Spawning AI!

[JrdnGrn]

How do i spawn enemies or ai that will...have AI?! like ill put give npc_antlion and the antlion will just sit there, how do i make him attack?

I think you'd have to totally redo the MP with the code mixed in. Currently, there doesn't seem to be any AI encoded in the MP game. The manhacks SORT of move around a little, but mostly just their general up/down floating and bouncing off things. On the upside, you can grav gun them and run around using them as buzzsaws.

i spent an hour trying to find a command to make them attack nothing

Does anybody else have a answer for this?

Anybody?

I already basically answered it: the MP game does not include the AI code. Someone will have to mod it in.

Maybe the MP maps have no AI hint nodes? And possibly the other sorts of AI present in the singleplayer game are also enabled in Hammer somehow... I dunno.

AI's need nodes to navigate levels. Unless they see you close enough or are triggered by scripted sequences they won't move.
