Use waypoints with NPCs

Use Waypoints with NPCs
This is all done in the toolset for any basic Waypoint walking NPC.


 * Place your NPC where you want him/her/it to start at.
 * Right Click on the NPC and select "Create Waypoint".
 * Keeping the NPC Selected (Green box around it). Right click where you want the NPC to walk to first and select "Create Waypoint".
 * Right click again where you want him to move too next, select "Create Waypoint"
 * Continue doing this until the path you want the NPC to take is compleat. Make sure the NPC is "Selected" the entire time you are adding waypoints.

Look in the Left side bar under Waypoints and you will see all the Waypoints you just added. Should look something like this. WP_TagOfNPC_01 WP_TagOfNPC_02 WP_TagOfNPC_03 Ect.

NOTE
Make sure each NPC that is walking waypoints have a Unique Tag. If you Place 5 guards and they all have the same tag, lets say GUARD, then ALL 5 Guards will walk the SAME set of waypoints. Unless this is what you want them to do, Change the Tag of each one you want to walk a different set of Waypoints.

Adding Waypoint's Manually
You Can Add Waypoints Manually by Following the Nameing convention as shown above. Place down your Waypoint and Change the Tag to WP_TAGofNPC_01 incrimenting the Number by 1 for each additional Waypoint.

This is handy for makeing NPCs Cross Transition boarders. Example: I place a guard in Area 1 and have the following waypoints. (Guard Tag is GUARD) WP_GUARD_01 WP_GUARD_02 WP_GUARD_03 Now I want the Guard to continue into Area2. So in area 2 I place 3 waypoint and change each TAG of the Waypoint to the following: WP_GUARD_04 WP_GUARD_05 WP_GUARD_06

Now my NPC guard will walk back and forth between Area1 and Area2.

Known Issue
If there are NO PCs in the area, NPCs become lazy and they don't want ot continue walking there Waypoints. Sometimes the NPCs will leave Area1 into Area2 and not return until the PC enters Area2.
