this is embarrasing :cry: . im putting human flood ai in coagulation. ive done ai many times with other ai but not flood ai. i got them to spawn and it freezes in less then 5 seconds in-game. i tried to frame freeze to see if the ai actually spawned (right when i load the map and it says "welcome") they spawn but it still freezes. i have nulled out the uldg. i have no idea what to do

Edit: it only freezes when they come into my sight
Edit 2: it works perfectly with flood elite ai but not human....... i looked at the differences and for some reason the flood human has the foot tag of elite and the flood elite has the foot of flood combat form. i transfered them at the same time (one came with the other) i tried to do a variation of human and flood but it still froze

That's not good. I'm not exactly sure and I've encountered that problem before. I think the only way is to re-transfer the tags. I'd clarify though and see if you can find any other ways first though.

How many times have you started over?
I suggest you try at least a couple times, there are just so many things that could go wrong during the process of adding AI.

zone, thank goodness. your just in time. ive done this a lot of times but no matter how many times i try i can never get flood human to work. ive gotten flood elite, flood infections, hunters, elites, grunts, brutes and heritic elites and grunts to work. ive tried to do flood humans on 2 different maps multiple times and the same result occurs. it freezes when they are in sight

Sorry to disappoint you, but ironically I'm not that good at AI :cry:
I know the basic steps for it, and how it works, but it just never works out for me. (I swear... Entity must error more on this computer than a commodore 64...)

my bad zone :lol: but now i have a different problem.
1. i still cant get the flood human to work, but i can get flood elite to work
2. evey time i kill a grunt the map freezes
3. buggers and jackels make weird noises when they move (tried changing the foot tag and swaping the sounds in the jmad tag but the sound is still there

tell me if this is ok:
i have took a previous ai mod i made, used insolence to transfer the whole flood human char tag which also transfered the flood elite tag. in the mod i took the ai from, the flood human worked. this is really confusing me. the grunt...... i have no idea what could make that happen. the jackels and buggers arent really my concern for now
