SimpleGame Type AI bots

[wookaseek]

hello,

I have a problem with my gametype and AI. I choose to use SimpleGame as my gametype and I can't see bots. As far as I know it spawns and behave like I would like to, but I can't see it. I know it is there, cuz it follows me and blocks, etc (logs show me it also). So then I used utgame as my gametype and my bot appeared, but I can't use this gametype cuz I really want to have it all clear and don't use too much unnecessary things. My gameplay and everything else is based on kismet only, so I don't know script much :/

My question is: how can I spawn AI on SimpleGame type so I can see it? Where I can change bot's SkeletalMesh, cuz it's prolly the reason? Am I able to attach trigger to spawned AI?

thanks

well if you look in simplegame.uc im sure there it will relate the request to what bot file its requesting ir udkbots.uc or something along that lines i had this issue with premade 3rd person scripts and we had to add the skeletmesh code in the new simplegame.uc file

i know this aint the best but most ppl are having this issue with diff game configs

something along this lines

DefaultProperties
{
Begin Object class=SkeletalMeshComponent Name=SandboxPawnSkeletalMesh
SkeletalMesh=SkeletalMesh'CH_IronGuard_Male.Mesh.S K_CH_IronGuard_MaleA'
AnimSets(0)=AnimSet'CH_AnimHuman.Anims.K_AnimHuman _BaseMale'
AnimTreeTemplate=AnimTree'CH_AnimHuman_Tree.AT_CH_ Human'
HiddenGame=FALSE
HiddenEditor=FALSE
End Object
Mesh=SandboxPawnSkeletalMesh
Components.Add(SandboxPawnSkeletalMesh)
}

out of that the bold was what made my mesh show up

thanks again for your reply.
It works, but I had to make it different, cuz when I make pawn visible in SimplePawn.uc I can see another pawn at PlayerStart location, so I had got 3 characters at a time (my MobilePlaceablePawn, AI Pawn and PlayerStart's Pawn).
I made a BotPawn.uc and paste there this code below and put it in UDK(-version)\Development\Src\UDKBase\classes

class BotPawn extends SimplePawn;
var vector InitialLocation;
defaultproperties
{
// Jazz obj
Begin Object Class=SkeletalMeshComponent Name=JazzMesh
SkeletalMesh=SkeletalMesh'KismetGame_Assets.Anims. SK_Jazz'
AnimSets(0)=AnimSet'KismetGame_Assets.Anims.SK_Jaz z_Anims'
AnimTreeTemplate=AnimTree'KismetGame_Assets.Anims. Jazz_AnimTree'
BlockRigidBody=true
CollideActors=true
End Object
Mesh = JazzMesh;
Components.Add(JazzMesh);
// Collision
Begin Object Class=CylinderComponent NAME=CollisionCylinder2
CollideActors=true
CollisionRadius=+25.000000
CollisionHeight=+60.000000
End Object
CollisionComponent=CollisionCylinder2
CylinderComponent=CollisionCylinder2
Components.Add(CollisionCylinder2)
}

Then in kismet I put (New Action -> Actor -> ) Actor Factory, then I set the Factory property on UTActorFactoryAI, the Pawn Class property on my newly made class BotPawn and as SpawnPoint I choose a PathNode.
