question concerning the spawning of NPC's in a server.

I have, after much experimentation, been able to spawn individual bots and whole platoons.

However, the problem I have discovered is that I am unable to spawn bots that wield lightsabres and actually USE them. So far I have been able to spawn Stormtroopers, Jans, Reborns, all with lightsabres but for some reason the daft gits just stand there while you cut them down.

Does anyone have any insight into what I might be doing wrong? Or even if what I seek is possible at this present moment in time?

Thank you for your time.

First I created a dedicated server.

Then I connected to it either via another machine or running the game again.

On the dedicated server I used /mnpcaccess <player Id>

On the player i designate, I then use the /g2animent or /g2platoon commands.

I bet buzz was about to reply this, so I've beat him to it :)

Don'tget NPC's and bots mixed up, they operate very differently. Bots use a set of waypoints to travel the level. NPC's are jsut what it says, non playable characters, they only shoot at stuff they see, they won't really move around looking for people.

It depends on the server mod. Vulcanus Admin Mod can create bots that use sabers that are quite good. Give it a shot.

Its not a problem you're causing. Chosen One was spawning platoons on the Home server when he first added the ability in. People wanted NPC's with sabers, but he said that they don't do anything, just stand there. So its not something you're doing, its just not possible at the moment if it ever can be done.

I apologise for the confusion I should have mentioned this was during a server I was hosting.

Are you talking about Single player mapping? If you are talking about spawning characters in single player then it sounds like you might have notarget on. type notarget in the console and if it is on it will turn it off (but if it is off it will turn it on.)
