Any way to fix NPC's not moving?

[queen lava]

I have the nodes all put up and i still dont know why it doesnt work

[austere folio]

do you have a trigger or logic auto to start this choreographed scene ??

[queen lava]

yes

here are the triggers

[austere folio]

run the level with developer 1 and look for any red text that'll be errors why its not running

is the flags set for npc's

[queen lava]

oh okay let me do that

no errors at all

they still do the thing

(ignore the citizen queue start 4, it was in the map d1_trainstation_01 map as well)

[austere folio]

why are the triggers showing as normal brushes in game are they really set as trigger multiple's

[queen lava]

showtriggers_toggle

[austere folio]

ah ok

post your vmf

[austere folio]

what game are you compiling this for

[queen lava]

hl2 with 2003 assets

[austere folio]

ah ok wondered why the materials weren't showing

ok 1 min

[queen lava]

i added some assets form the retail, so it sjust a hybrid between the 2003 and 2004 versions

[austere folio]

ok heres the reason

[queen lava]

huh, weird, it was the same as in the valve maps

huh.

[austere folio]

its not finding the entity and it stops the npc in front from moving away blocking the exit

[queen lava]

...there isnt any citizen_queue_start_4 in d1_trainstation_01

and it works normally

super weird

i remember putting it into a test map and it worked fine withotu the 4th one, i removed the map thinking i wont be needing it anymore

its super weird

any way to make it work again?

[austere folio]

yeah really strange, try adding another npc_citizen name citizen_queu_start_4

[queen lava]

yeah

also, there is a info_target that stops the citizen fogrm moving until the cop has done a scene(either left or right point)

[austere folio]

1 min

[queen lava]

not the problem either

it has to do something with the nodes

currently trying to see if the nodes are the problem

[austere folio]

its not its this now

[queen lava]

thats the 2003 beta stuff.

ignroe that

it spawns npc_citizens with cheaple as a baxckground at the train part

its nto the problem

i was planning on removing it since it had no use to me

[austere folio]

hmm not suree what else it could be :/

[queen lava]

all the triggers work

the cop does his thing

the citizens move as well

its just the nodes are the problem

i cant ifgure out how to fix it

[austere folio]

i might have found it , just testing now

[queen lava]

?

[austere folio]

i think its this entity by the metrocop the search radious wasn't big enough for a citizen to be in so make the distance further

[queen lava]

OH

That might explain everything

[austere folio]

the 1st npc walks a bit then stops i think the target goal is to far or not enough info_nodes lead to it and a path for the npc isn't made to go to it :/

[queen lava]

Huh

Should I send you the d1_trainstation_01 file as a comparison?

(The one that wasn’t decompiled, an actual vmf valve used)

[austere folio]

ignore the dev textures ,, the red cube top right is where the npc's should walk to np's are on the left of the picture the node layout isnt quite good to form a path t he goal

[queen lava]

I actually added more during the time I was trying to fix it

…no dice

[austere folio]

i have the leak vmf's i'll compile trainstation_01 now see if it works

[queen lava]

alr

[austere folio]

hmm its really strange why they don't walk any further

ok i moved the metrocop back a bit moved the info arget a bit and changed the info nodes layout and it worked

here what i did , rename it before you use thou or it might over write ur version

[queen lava]

okay, thanks 👍 ill add the stuff inside of my map

@austere folio wtf is half life 2 high

whattttt

wtf lol

yeah, i dont know whats wrong with my hl2

idrk

[austere folio]

ah i think i know ,, this trigger sets off a timer to move the npc from the info_target to the node around the corner if the player doesn't set it off the 1st npc will only walk out by the metrocop

[queen lava]

?

Are you sure you aren’t talking about the trigger where a guy is being taken away by a Metrocop

[queen lava]

its nto a timer?

its the count of how many people are in the queue

if triggered, it removes 1

or something

super weird

[austere folio]

ah ok

[queen lava]

i just figured otu the issue

the ai_sequences werent close to info_target

after moving them close to the exit point, everything started working

[queen lava]

this is how the mp looks like

[austere folio]

thats looking great

[queen lava]

let me send you a picture of how it looks now
