Hey, I'm sure this has been asked a million times before... but I need to know if enemies can be placed in a multiplayer level for JK.
I looked at the Rbots Tut, and had trouble because the download is for Mots. Is the Tutorial at massassi on Rbots actually for Jedi knight?
I need an easier way to put enemies in my Multiplayer Jedi Knight match.

Any hints...
oh, and sorry if this has nothing to do with cog.

You mean enemies as in bots? Or enemies as in synced AI from the game (stormtroopers, commandoes, etc.).

Post this on the RBots forum if it's about bots There's a cog called Synced AI or something in the cogs section, it allows you to add enemies to MP and have them synced..

-Jipe

Well I got the AI in my level with the enemygenerator.cog found at massassi downloads, but now I need to figure out how to make my enemy walk along a path. Which cog(s) do I use in conjunction with the enemygenerator? How do you combine the path cog with the enemy cog?

Heres my script...

#The template is the enemy you want to use

#The gen_num is how many total enemies you want before the cog stops respawning them
