Making a CHAR walk to a position... a problem

[NTAuthority]

Hi,

 

I have created a character with a neutral pedtype, and want to make him walk to a position around 150 meters away, which is randomly determined. I have tried opcode 07CD, but my character tries to walk through walls instead of just following the ped paths like the car drive_to commands.

 

Does anybody know an opcode/method to make him follow the ped paths to the position, without trying to walk into walls all the time?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bas

could you post your script?

I confirm to The_Siggi but maybe 05DE: is what you're looking for

Nope, that's just for randomly wandering around, like the vehicle opcode 00AF with parameter '1'. I need a opcode to walk to a specific coordinate, but not trying to run a straight line... but using pathfinding like the vehicle drive_to opcodes. My code, even though it would be of no use:

 

 

           Vector3 position = Player.Character.Position.Around(400).GetClosestPathCoordinates(PathType.Ped);           PedID model = new [] { PedID.WMYCR, PedID.WMYDRUG, PedID.HMYCR, PedID.HMYDRUG, PedID.WMYKARA, PedID.HMYDRUG }.ToList().Random();           Ped ped = World.CreatePed(model, position, 24);           mission.AddCleanup(() => ped.NoLongerNeeded());           mission.AddFailureCondition(() => !ped.IsAlive, "You were suppposed to protect him!");// ...           mission.SetObjective(() => ped.Position.DistanceTo(Player.Character.Position) < 6f);           mission.Brief("Protect ~b~him~s~ while he walks to his destination.");           var target = ped.Position.Around(150).GetClosestPathCoordinates(PathType.Ped);           Native.CallOpcode(0x07cd, ped, target.pX, target.pY, target.pZ, 0, 20);           mission.AddFailureCondition(() => Player.Character.Position.DistanceTo(ped.Position) > 40f, "You went too far away!");

 

 

As you may be able to see, I'm creating random coordinates on a ped path location, but if for example the char/actor currently is at one side of the East Beach parking garage, and my coordinates lead him to somewhere on the main road... he tries to walk through that garage, which I do not want... that would lead players to headshot him and fail the mission. Even smaller walls have him first trying to run through the walls before walking a bit on the sidewalk.

Thats the problem with the scripting. You can not spawn the actor anywhere and hope that he reaches the destionation just because of the paths.

Mostly he do it but it can also happen that he stucks.

If you wonna make shure that he reaches the destination you must make a safe route for the walk

An alternative to 07CD would be 05D3: (not 05DE:) thats my favorite opcode

or create a scm path

Hello I might not be much of help but I have a code where you can make him walk to different coordinates so he can move an inch at a time, basically so you can make him walk around the garage and not run into it.

Found the solution: opcode 0A2E follows the navigation paths. I found this out by checking parameters used in IV for TASK_FOLLOW_NAV_MESH_TO_COORD and checking for anything similar... the use of '4, -1' in the example looked a lot like 05D3, and 0A2E was the only task opcode I found with 7 parameters.

This answer is now depreciated, 0A2E is obviously documented as TASK_FOLLOW_PATH_NODES_TO_COORD_WITH_RADIUS.
