Coffee's tutor bot...feet in ground

Postby DieparBaby » Sun Dec 10, 2006 3:15 am

I copied the code Coffee (AI Cafe) wrote for spawning a monster bot.
http://minion.planetquake.gamespy.com/tutorial/tutor9.htm

It works great except for the fact that the feet of the monster
are always in the ground, even when I spawn them in the air.
Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,
DieparBaby

Could be an issue with the model...

There's a mistake in the tutorial. You should always call setsize() after setmodel(), otherwise you get funky bounding boxes.

Thank you FrikaC. I also changed the "bot.origin = ..." to "setorigin(bot, ...)"

P.S. Can I spawn() your children? ;)

Very clever. I don't think I've seen it asked that way before...
