Make AI follow waypoints

[ITAF_LittleMadz77]

Guys i'm very sorry to annoy you with this stupid question but... i can't program an AI to follow waypoints! I have seen the mission example but... no way. I can't understand. I have even seen video ans tutorials but... there is no way!

 

I have a flying plane and i need it to follow a path. Any suggestion?

 

Thank you in advance

The first waypoint has to have something connected to it that says, "hey planes go to this waypoint here!"

 

Normally, I use a mission begin to the waypoint.

 

 

If that's not the issue, maybe try recreating the waypoints you've placed.

 

If it still doesn't work, post your mission here and we'll look into it.

I did it! Thank you!

 

I did two mistakes:

 

i had a mission begin, linked to a timer, linked to all waypoints. The first error was that the timer was still set to 0 (really a mistake), the second (more important) the timer was linked to all the waypoints... ignorance ?

 

Thank you very much!

If your plane is on the runway or parked, then the 1st waypoint should be activated by an event link OnPlaneTakeOff. You need only trigger the Command Take Off MCU that will cause the plane to start on the runway and then take off and the 1st waypoint will be then triggered automatically.

 

Check always as many MCUs to become active have first to be triggered.

That's a good way to trigger the waypoint in this case, but note that it can be triggered in other ways, for example:

• Any plane passes through a check zone trigger target linked to the waypoint
• Any player fires a flare in a complex trigger translator zone with an OnObjectFiredFlare message link to the waypoint
• A server administrator triggers a server input translator target linked to the waypoint

You can invent your own scenario to fit your need. The departing planes will just circle until the waypoint is triggered.

Naw... the FME is easy to use and master.
