Auto-actor cog.

[Stormtrooper]

I have this cog for Mots:


# MotS Cog Script
# (note, this will not work right in Jedi Knight)
# AUTO-ACTOR.COG
#
# Sets an actor's weapon without making a new model and without messing
# with new template settings for weapons and all that complicated stuff.
#
# Just create a template with the parent as humanactor and set the 3do to
# that of the MP model you want to have the weapon. Put it in your level
# like you would any other 3do, then add this cog to your level.
#
# actor - the thing you just put in your level
# gun - the model of the weapon (external) that you want the actor to have
# ai - the artifical intelligence you want the actor to have
# weapon/altweapon - the promary and secondary weapon templates for the actor
#
# Lightsabers are not supported yet!
#
# [ST]
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

code

startup:

call autoactor;

return;

# .................................................. ......................................

created:

call autoactor;

return;

# .................................................. ......................................

autoactor:

// Let the dust settle a bit
sleep(.05);

// Give the actor the specified weapon
jksetweaponmesh(actor, gun);

// set the actor up with the AI
aisetclass(actor, smartness);

// set up the actor's gun-fire position
setthingfireoffset(actor, '0.0207 0.0888 0.00');

// set up the actors weapons
setactorweapon(actor, 1, weapon);
setactorweapon(actor, 2, altweapon);

return;

end
It sets the weapon model, but nothing else after that happens, it doesn't set the AI. I added print("AI SET"); under the aisetclass() and it did print. Was aisetclass() a verb taken out of MotS?

Try commenting out the startup message. If that doesn't do anything, send a zip with what's needed to see the problem.
