Huh?!?!?

I have two stormtroopers that drop from spawns on the ceiling and are supposed to fire at each other. This USED to work... (and according to ParSec it still should)

Code: 
Sleep(3.0);
CreateThing(boom, spawn0);
CreateThing(boom, spawn1);
Sleep(0.5);
bio0=CreateThing(biotroop, spawn0);
bio1=CreateThing(biotroop, spawn1);
ClearActorFlags(player, 0xa00000);
SetDebugModeFlags(0x1);
Sleep(1.5);
AISetLookPos(bio0, GetThingPos(bio1));
AISetLookPos(bio1, GetThingPos(bio0));
Sleep(1.5);
ClearDebugModeFlags(0x1);
AISetMode(bio0, 0x202);
AIClearMode(bio0, 0x1004);
AISetMode(bio1, 0x202);
AIClearMode(bio1, 0x1004);
AISetFireTarget(bio0, bio1);
AISetFireTarget(bio1, bio0);
AISetMode(bio0, 0x2);
AISetMode(bio1, 0x2);


Here is the template:

Code: 
cbm     _humanactor        thingflags=0x20000400 model3d=st.3do puppet=st.pup 

soundclass=st_s1.snd maxvel=.25 weapon=+elaser weapon2=+st_punch health=10 

maxhealth=10 maxthrust=1 maxrotthrust=90 typeflags=0x20001 

fireoffset=(.0048/.05/.012) aiclass=st_def.ai

I can't see anything wrong with it. Check your settings in JED. I doubt it, but could it be too many sleep messages like that one cog awhile ago?

Impossible. My templates have been getting pretty screwey as of late, though. If it were the sleeps, it would have killed the cog entirely. As it is, the troopers spawn, but they don't shoot.

Tried printing anything? Maybe you set/cleared a wrong flag?

Yes. And if I cleared a wrong flag, could you tell me which? I removed all the flag-clearing to no effect.

Well, I did a quickie lookover, and it looks like flag clearing/setting is fine.

Hm...
1. Try setting AI modes before clearing.
2. It has happened that actors won't move or do anything if you're not looking at them.
3. Print some flags. Test for the 0x20 AI mode flag (Actor has its target in attack range or sight.). How to print flags? int aiflags=AIGetMode(actor); Printint(aiflags);
Now, this will print not in hex (0x...) but in dec, unless someone knows how to print ints into the format you want. 0x20 = 32.

Hope this helps.

The problem lie, as I had suspected, in the templates, which I reworked before finally releasing. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]
