waypoints?!
« on: October 31, 2013, 04:37:47 am »


               I'm a little embarrassed to say, I do fine with the toolset till waypoints.

I understand story writing. I have a grip on how to manipulate the toolset, however loose.

But, every time I get to express my creative self through waypoints, I stop using it.


Not sure what to do? should I find another medium for story telling? or maybe, just decide to buck up, get a firm grip on the toolset?

               If you like the medium, learn the tools.

               <pulling out his...>

A bit terse, perhaps, but true.
Or perhaps abit trite but consice.
Or *cough* Nevermind :-)

Waypoints are quite necessary to tell the game engine where to go and place things. What turns you off so abruptly with waypoints? Is there a particular difficulty?

               Are you having difficulty understanding how to use them? if so have you looked at The Guide to Building Volume I – The Aurora Toolset Manual by The Builders Project ?

               This might help a little bit.  I found it in the tutorial for Axe Murderer's Killer Walk Waypoints System, and I think it quite nicely explains how NPC waypoints work.
