i know that this site is for modding zombiemode but im hoping that someone can help me, im trying to make a mod where each player in MP has a small team of AI that fallows them around the map but the problem im having is that i cant figure out how to spawn an AI,  i know its possible since MP has dogs which are AI. ive looked throught the script for the dogs but when ever i try to spawn an AI the same way they did the dogs but no AI spawn.

thanks in advance for any help!

Create any spawner in radiant, and make a script target the spawner and spawn in AI with:

spawner DoSpawn();

That should be all to get it to spawn, then you need scripts etc to set it up, make it follow the player, etc etc

i tried that, but it says DoSpawn() is an unknown function, same thing for ForceSpawn() and StalingradSpawn()

Do you have this include in your script?

#include maps\_utility; 

EDIT: Try   

spawn_ai();

thats what ive been using since thats what the dogs file has been using but it doesnt appear to be working,

actually ive been using spawnActor() and not spawn_ai, im going to try that instead

it might just be it works totally different in mp, not sure. In the zombie_scripts all those functions in the end just call DoSpawn()

Have you looked here for any info maybe?

yeah ive been using modsrepository for all that ive got to work so far with mp, i havent found much on how to spawn AI other than doSpawn and forceSpawn. and spawn_ai is a unknown to MP as well

Im not sure tbh, your best option might be to dig through some raw\maps\mp scripts and see if you can find something in there?

ok so ive finally got it to start spawning a few AI but as soon as the first one spawns it crashes with an error stating

"AimTarget_GetTagPos: Cannot find tag[j_helmet] on entity"

any idea how to fix this?

Dig through some mod menu's also, they usually have spawn bot functions. You might learn from it

from what ive seen most of the bots that are spawned in mods are just faked players, which makes it hard to fallow since the game basically treats them as an actual player

thats what ive been doing but so far the only luck ive had is from reading about how the dogs are spawned
