anyone know how i would go about creating a new ai type?

Depends on what you want. If you want to create a new AI entirely, you can use ASSMAN's aitype asset type. Otherwise you can script other spawner specific settings.

I'd create a new aitype from ASSMAN then. You can do it from script, but it'd be more code then what is necessary.

Edit: and the spawner model(atleast i would think) would be accurate to the in-game version so you can use it for measuring height in radiant and stuff.

how would i create a new aitype in assman, im completely new to ai's time for "noob" question's

Assman > new gdt > select aitype under "new entry" > give a name for the new ai type

Everything after that is basically fill in the blank. If it asks for a model(such as radiantModel) give the model(world model for radiant i would think).

Or open root\aitype\aitypes_characteraliases.gdt and work from there :|

when trying to set the "radiantModel" for my aitype i get this error



Edit: im setting the model from root -> raw -> xmodel (plus i did click the three dots "..." to set the model)

Didn't know World at War had a GDT already, sorry. Do this ^.

Thats normal i think. Create the file directory and paste the models there.

May or may not have to do that for other assets aswell.

i just created the dir and copied the model im want to use from root -> raw -> xmodel to root -> pc -> main -> xmodel and when converting i get an error saying im specifying a character



Edit: this is my gdt so far

the only character i can specify is "char_viewmodel_usa_player" (is there away i could use a custom character gsc?)

You need to specify a character file from raw/character(presumably). Use other aitypes as a reference. If the giant doesn't have any weapons, i'd set the weapons to blank(nothing, presumably).

Edit: None of the other aitypes in the GDT reference a character file either... strange. My guess? You have to create your own in raw/character. Just copy a .gsc and a .csv and make the necessary changes(it isn't much).

when i click the three dots next to the character box it changes to a list which has a blank value or a value of "char_viewmodel_usa_player"



Edit: it doesn't allow me to type in the box that's why im clicking the dots

Yeah, made an edit after checking other aitypes:

all of them compile correctly so i assume thats whats wrong since they all have a file it seems like.

im still having the same issue i can only set one character (char_viewmodel_usa_player) and it wont let compile if the box is empty

in root -> raw -> character i have made ad csv and gsc named the same as my assman entry

I'm out of ideas then. No idea why it won't let you select a character file. Now that i think about it i asked SparkyMcSparks a long time ago about this very issue and he never did tell me...

Anyway. unless someone else has an idea then your going to have to script it. Sorry, i tried.
