NPC Programming in Source

[Corewarp]

Alright so.

We've got NPC, let's call him Sam. He's a dog and his animations have been triple checked to make sure they link up with the activities.

Problem is, in-game he just stands there. Not even his idle animations plays. He doesn't want to walk, even when forced to. Giving his own NPC code he STILL doesn't want to walk even when specifically telling him which animations to play when and where.

Could I get another code to help me spot if there's an issue in my code or if there is a fix for this.
I don't have a problem posting code here, but Skype is prefered.

Which class does Sam inherit from?

Tried with CAI_BaseNPC and CNPC_PlayerCompanion. Neither worked.

Did you declare your activities in your npc code?

For example this is how i did it in my npc code.

Code: Select all

AI_BEGIN_CUSTOM_NPC( npc_charger, CNPC_Charger )
   DECLARE_ACTIVITY( ACT_CHARGE_START )
   DECLARE_ACTIVITY( ACT_CHARGE_RUN )
   DECLARE_ACTIVITY( ACT_CHARGE_CRASH )
   DECLARE_ACTIVITY( ACT_CHARGE_STOP )

Turns out the animator/rigger didn't link the appropriate activities to what was expected. It has been fixed.
