NPC's question

[sarge mat]

Hey all.

I have quite a bit of experience with Unreal but i have never really done anything single player with it which is what I hope to do with Gears of War PC for my FMP in college this year. So my question is just how hard is it to do A.I's or NPC characters in the game. Are they just Actors you position on the map or what? I want to do this regardless of how hard it is as I need to get more experience with single player level design before looking for a job sometime late in 2008 but I am just looking for a heads up.

Cheers

Mat

I'm also wondering the same thing. Things like if they will need UScripts/actors to get some cover.

Cover nodes will most likely already be there available in the editor for you to place around at will, I doubt ya'll have to make your own cover script.

I think what ya'll end up doing is placing path nodes and cover nodes around the map. Then use UnrealKismet or UnrealScript for when the enemy will come and go.
