Spawn movement

[Cynnar]

Try changing the + and - values maybe. From what I see here you get the npc x location add one then next movement you get the npc location minus one. Then minus one again

I have never seen spawns walk backwards before, in fact I think the client takes care of the heading when a spawn walks. That said the difference in location is tiny so it may not have a chance to really rotate a spawn but that is just a guess. At most you have a difference of 2 on one axis, 10 is usually right in the face of the spawn, try bumping the +/- 1 and see if you get the same results.

Code: Select all

function spawn(NPC)
	local x = GetX(NPC)
	local y = GetY(NPC)
	local z = GetZ(NPC)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x + 10 , y, z - 10 , 1, math.random(5, 15))
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x - 10 , y, z - 10 , 1, math.random(5, 15))
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x - 10 , y, z + 10 , 1, math.random(5, 15))
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x + 10 , y, z + 10 , 1, math.random(5, 15))
end

function respawn(NPC)
	spawn(NPC)
end

Its your basic square movement, to keep them in a small area but look alive.
Now they are moonwalking for a long ways.
This works just fine, callously borrowed from generic tiny_movement_loop.

Code: Select all

	local x = GetX(NPC)
	local y = GetY(NPC)
	local z = GetZ(NPC)
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x - 2, y, z + 4, 1, math.random(5, 15))
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x + 3, y, z + 1, 1, math.random(5, 15))
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x    , y, z - 2, 1, math.random(5, 15))
	MovementLoopAddLocation(NPC, x - 5, y, z - 1, 1, math.random(5, 15))

So if you place the code from tiny_movement_loop in place of your code it works? Not using the tiny_movement_loop script, but changing your script.

Is there a reason you are not wanting to use tiny_movement_loop script?

[Plague]

No reason, it was just a learning process.
I plan on making a moonwalking bear later tho.

[Cynnar]

Ah ok. I don't know why it's happening tbh.

if they are truly walking backwards then it could have to do with the spawn it self not knowing what is front and what is back, kinda like when it client gets 0 heading and 180 heading mixed up
