Problem with AIWatchObj

Soul Tear on 6/1/2014 at 15:50

The task: at each end of the path AI must play motion 'Search 0, Scan 0'. However, the motion works only at the first round (immediately after pressing Alt+G before the first Trolpt and before the last Trolpt).
After first round AI just goes nonstop ignoring AIWatchObj link.

I marked the path from the first point to the last. Sometimes AI clings to corners of solid brushes (if it is important).

The whole way takes 55 seconds. My setting:

I tried to set different time: 10, 20, 50..., 100k - nothing changes. Also I tried to set trigger radius from 2 to 20 - nothing.

I have three similar situations with other AIs but instead 'Search 0, Scan 0' there 'IdleGesture 0' - everything works fine.

Help! :D

Around your corners where the ai are getting stuck, just use more ai patrol points to give them a wider berth.
Try changing the priority to say, "high". You can also just create a new Metaproperty for your motions, under ai behaviors, then use Add/Remove Metaproperty/ Name your trolpts so they will know which trolpts to start their motions.
It may be better to use Add,Metaproperty>M-DoesPatrol, and Remove>M-DoesPatrol when you want the ai to stop at a TrolPt.

Instead of just Wait>7000, you can have them rotate, and then scan. Looks more realistic. Use Play Sound Motion and "your motions" on Argument 3.

AiWatchObj>Trolpt(named), priority "High", Remove M-DoesPatrol Wait 7000,IdleGesture 0, Play Sound Motion (Argument 3) Search 0,Scan 0 Add,M-DoesPatrol, and repeat it.

Make Reset delay 28000 also, it may work.
