AI Movement cog....

I need a cog, that when the player crosses an adjoin, a group of 2 AI's walk from their current position to a ghost object. Once they reach the ghost object, they are deleted. During this entire duration, the AI must be "asleep", so they basically act as if they do not see the player, do not shoot at him, and anything the player does has no effect on them, they can not even be killed or hurt. Tell me if you need me to be more clear, thanks!

The answer is here.
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# AI cog for Dash_rendar
#
# [DP]
#
symbols
thing             moveThing
thing             moveThing1
vector            movePos
vector            movePos1
flex              moveSpeed
flex              distance
surface           doStuff
int               i                     local
message           crossed
end
# ========================================================================================
code
   Crossed:
   If(GetSourceRef() != GetLocalPlayerThing()) Return;
   For(i=0 i<2; i++)
   {
      AISetMoveSpeed(moveThing, moveSpeed);
      AISetMovePos(moveThing, movePos);
   }
   While(VectorDist(GetThingPos(moveThing), movePos) < distance);
   DestroyThing(moveThing);
   DestroyThing(moveThing1);
   Return;
end
This should work, but untested. So this is theoritical work if you will. For the actors, make sure their templates have no AI file, and they, include their parents, don't have a health number, else make it really really high. And their ya go. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

...That won't work. You can't use the AI verbs unless there is actually an AI specified in the template.

Here's an idea:
Code: 
# Move and poof!
#
# By Edward
symbols

message    crossed

thing      movething1
thing      movething2

surface    x

thing      movepos1
thing      movepos2

flex       distance

end
#
code
crossed:
        If(GetSenderRef()!=x) return;
        AISetMovePos(movething1,GetThingPos(movepos1));
        AISetMovePos(movething2,GetThingPos(movepos2));
        sleep(distance);
        DestroyThing(movething1);
        DestroyThing(movething2);
return;
end

As I don't know how to test if an AI has stopped, I set a sleep called distance.
If you want the AIs to sleep, add 00_aisleep.cog. If you want the AI Invul, well, that's a different COG.

That is so totally screwed up. This aint C, dude, this is cog. 'i++' doesnt work. Accept it, and move on.

The miners of Kiith Somtaaw sacificed much, and risked all. For their efforts they were brought into the inner most circle of Hiigaren power. Naabal, S'jet, and Sobanii bowed before them. And from that day to this, Somtaaw's children have been known to one and all as Beastslayers..
