You use entity. If you need to learn more do a search on the forum.

Btw, I got the map to load with the scnr 576 reflexive, but it appears to do nothing with default values.

Someone here posted something about the flags and one flag available was to make the AI respawn - /me runs back a few pages..

It is mostly controlled by scripts to my knowledge.

No it is not AI controlled it is controlled by scripts. I remember one of the scripts from metropolis was like

Code: Select all

scarab_walking_front_var_0

or something similar I found that out when I put on debug mode with the trainer and when ever a script would happen it would show up on the right of your screen and I remember seeing that exact script.

It is totally controlled by Scripts.

if you just make it one big zone then things would be jumbled and confusing. You could set paths where two opposing sides (two groups of 20) like you said ealier each move to the middle and have a big battle there, if resonable have a few vehicles in use as well. but do what you want. its your project. and Wasting and Xbox

What do you mean? And btw, I wrote that plugin.......

Agent ME · Post by **Agent ME** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 3:52 pm

Odd because when I use that in Insolence, setting anything in Flags section doesn't save, and they all say "not initially created" is true.

In Entity none of the ai squads have anything checked off, and if I check anything and hit save, it doesn't seem to save.

And aren't bitmasks supposed to have the options values going as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc, rather than simple 1,2,3,4,5...?
