Can't get rebels to do anything

[chickenman]

Hi.
I've got the striders to walk around a path.
But, when I place rebels in my map and do the exact same thing I did with the strider like paths and stuff they just stand there and do nothing.
The strider shoots on them but they won't die, pretty weird, someone can help me?

DL the map I uploaded with things like that in it, it might help you out more. You don't want to give regular NPC's paths though, beyond a single path_corner for them to initially move to, past that giving them a path will simply force them into a specific routine and prevent them from behaving correctly to events in a map. It's only useful for patrolling in the strider's case or flight paths for the gunships and other airbased vehicles.

Setup some regular nodes for the NPC's to use aswell.

I have already downloaded your map, but there are no NPC's spawning except the strider and Gman who just stands there.

So, I made 1 path_corner and some info_nodes. Linked them to the rebels and still they just stand there and do nothing.

Is it possible that it can only work with HL2 and not HL2DM?

Must be broken for you then because NPC's spawn continually to replenish those that are killed by the strider or other means.

That's some weird shit then :|

A mate of mine tried it to with HL2DM and there are no NPC's spawning except for the strider and Gman. That's a little weird huh?
Can't it be "server" settings or something?

You need to do some switching around with HL2DM to make it work in coop mode. Or DM is broken and just wont let you no matter what.. Maybe Valve have a coop planned and don't want people making their own just yet.

Run it in HL2 if you want to see it working properly.

Ah, in HL2 it works perfect. Too bad it doesn't work in HL2DM, would be fun if it does

HL2DM doesn't really have to much AI for the guys.
Ive played 2 combine soliders and told them to walk.
They stood there with there arms out.(as how they were modeled).
Put it in HL2 and had some serious fun .
