Waypoint issues
« on: October 11, 2006, 06:44:14 am »
I've recently gotten into mapping, made an infiltration map based on D-Day 1944. Anyway, I was just doing the waypoints and I'm having trouble getting the bots to fly up onto a ledge, I've tried loads of variations and nothing seems to work! Perhaps I could send someone the map and they could do the waypoints for me  ;D that would be awsome.

HELP!

Upload the map here with your post (click the Modify button and then click Additional Options) and I'll take a look.

In making them jump vertically, make sure the Up wypt. from the initial Left/Right wypt. on the ground is diagonally positioned. Try vertically jumping immediately while running; as your soldat moves up, it also drifts horizontally; this is why it needs to be positioned a bit diagonally instead of directly above, unless you give the Left/Right wypt. a Special function. ("Wait 1 second" usually doesn't work; "Wait 5 seconds" is the best.)
Then make them jet; this is a bit trickier, so I can't guide you without visuals, or without a screenshot of the terrain of the area you're working with on your map. Here is a rough plan.

Notice the relation of the base running wypt. and the jumping wypt.; it's not just directly above it. Keep momentum in mind!

The other jet waypoint is a guard in case they somehow do not fly left enough to strike the initial one. Guards come VERY handy in working with large paths. Hope this helped :)

Just take a screenshot of the sector in question. Then I can help you more and form waypoints specifically for that region.
