I figured out how to make an enemy an ally by messing with the templates and ai.

This is what i did:

I used the original 3do
I made the .ai file be Rebel Commando
I used the same pup file for the character
I used the _droidactor for the parent template.

Ok, so i go into the level, the Assassin Droid is all friendly and nice, and then i try to kill it (to see if it blows up, and what it's reaction is) i 'destroyed' it, all that happens is it seems like it just kills the pup file, 'cause it just stands still, and you can walk through it. How would i get it to explode how it normally does???

What cog did you use?

The Dark Ages Cometh...

i only used a cog when creating a template, i used the rebel commando cog.

Try changing it back to the droid's cog.

lol the problem with that is:

The assassin droid doesn't have a cog! I looked through the _actor cogs and there wasn't a trace of the assassin droid cog!

Look again. If you look at the template for the assassin droind you'll see it calls this cog:

actor_ad.cog

ok, i'll try to find it. We're about ready to begin working on Imperial Construction Yards for the level pack, and i was thinking about having an assassin droid body guard for the player.

actor_ad was for the probe droid for some reason. I tried using a different guy, like the Scout Trooper (this is 4 mots) and it worked. I can't figure out how to get the max cog to work correctly with mots, is it only for jedi knight? In mots it just makes the assigned actor go walking like a person who has been spun around about an hour.

No - it wasn't for a probe droid (it does say that at the top of the cog for some reason though).

Here's the template for the probe droid:
# DESC:
# BBOX: -.074435 -.062273 -.215886 .071944 .062389 .198272
probedroid _flyactor thingflags=0x20000400 model3d=pb.3do size=.078 movesize=.078 puppet=pb.pup soundclass=pb.snd cog=actor_pd.cog mass=300 physflags=0x2006a06 maxvel=.5 weapon=+probedroidbolt health=90 maxhealth=90 maxthrust=.6 maxrotthrust=150 typeflags=0x2008120 fireoffset=(.0375/.065/0) explode=+probedroid_exp aiclass=pddefault.ai

And here's the template for the assassin droid:
# DESC:
# BBOX: -.030923 -.014545 -.099713 .030923 .02174 .060004
assassindroid _droidactor thingflags=0x20000400 model3d=ad.3do size=.058 movesize=.058 puppet=ad.pup soundclass=ad.snd cog=actor_ad.cog mass=160 weapon=+probedroidbolt health=100 maxhealth=100 maxrotthrust=80 typeflags=0x1a8161 explode=+assassindroid_exp aiclass=addefault.ai

See - it uses the one I told you.
