NextBot animations?

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I have been trying pretty much every animation with every playermodel and normal hl2 model and none of the walking/running animations even move the legs. The animations work perfectly when I am using the playermodel myself.

Any ideas?



function ENT:RunBehaviour()
	while ( true ) do

		if ( self:HaveEnemy() ) then

			self.loco:FaceTowards( self:GetEnemy():GetPos() )

			self:StartActivity( ACT_RUN )
			self.loco:SetDesiredSpeed( 450 )
			self.loco:SetAcceleration( 900 )
			self:ChaseEnemy() 
			self.loco:SetAcceleration( 400 )			
			self:StartActivity( ACT_IDLE )

		else

			self:StartActivity( ACT_WALK )
			self.loco:SetDesiredSpeed( 200 )
			self:MoveToPos( self:GetPos() + Vector( math.Rand( -1, 1 ), math.Rand( -1, 1 ), 0 ) * 400 ) -- Walk to a random place within about 400 units ( yielding )
			self:StartActivity( ACT_IDLE )
		end
		coroutine.wait( 2 )
	end
end

You have to add self:SetPoseParameter() after every self:StartActivity() in order to make the bot move his legs.


	self.loco:FaceTowards( self:GetEnemy():GetPos() )

			self:StartActivity( ACT_HL2MP_RUN ) --You got to use HL2MP ACT Enumerations
			self:SetPoseParameter("move_x", 1 ) -- The "move_x" makes them move back and fordward, alternatively "move_y" makes them move side to side. The number sets the speed of the animation. It can be from 0 to 1 I belive, so it can only go slower...
			self.loco:SetDesiredSpeed( 450 )
			self.loco:SetAcceleration( 900 )

Here is the long list of ACT Enumerations, the ones that work for player model based nextbots are the HL2MP ones wich are almost at the very bottom.

Or you could do it like how I have done it:



function ENT:RunBehaviour()
	while true do
		self:StartActivity(ACT_WALK)
		self.loco:SetDesiredSpeed(100)
		self:MoveToPos(self:GetPos() + Vector(math.Rand(-1, 1), math.Rand(-1, 1), 0) * 400)
		self:StartActivity(ACT_IDLE)
		coroutine.wait(2)

		coroutine.yield()
	end
end

This makes the nextbot wait 2 seconds before doing his activity again. And when the nextbot does his activity, then the nextbot will move to a random place at a set distance (400 units).
