Aye, I have a question, How do I make Critters like talon or Dark mages do their job, when I place them in my Mini map I made all they do is sit their, kinda lame considering its part of a Quest that I made and a challenge would make it alot better haha forums: |

Split into a new topic, since it didn't really apply to the tuning grids News post...
The easiest way to find out this type of thing is to look at how GPG implemented the "Critter" you're trying to enable (i.e. look at ds2_world...). If I had to guess, there's might be a trigger / gizmo to activate a flick... which might include the initiation of attack scripts (but that's just a guess).
Another thing to consider is that both the adversaries you mention have attacks that are dependent on their environment.
Talon (first instance) only spits fireballs at you when perched on the Castle walls. The flick/skrit code that operates him has to include checks for where he is and stop him attacking if he's not in the right place.
The second appearance of Talon is partly through the wall so you'd have had to include a major chunk of the original map just to have the right piece.
The Dark Mages use the stones around them to conjure up some of their attacks. Without that setup they may not be able to make spell selections, so may not attack at all. The one you encounter singly (guarding Eva) may be usable, but you have to pick the right template.
I moved the thread so it doesn't appear on the frontpage.
8O Oops... :oops: Did I forget to move it into the DS2 Modding forum? (Ack!)
/me runs away in shame...
Ha okay i get cha thanks guys, it helped alot, I extracted the Magecircle map and took all the trigger ect and some surrounding nodes and placed them near by , and the mage seems to work ! O.o thanks again
gonna have to work with ttalon though, everytime i place him, ill get near him and he's either invis or from what im guessing I put the wrong node or code and I got Exception data, but for now the mage is great ill just keep working with the talon, Once again thank youfor the tips
