[msgamer3]

u might just hide him ... on second touth dont hide him... and dont kill him either LMFAO

[nSwarm]

There's a MUCH MORE RECENT video doing exactly the same thing uploaded by theguildhallatsmu just a couple days ago. Much easier than trying to figure out what Epic changed.

Thumbs up so people see!

[MarshalHopalop]

If only I had any idea as what you were doing, what you were saying, where your mouse was, and what you were clicking on, this tutorial would be usable.

[BountyHunter762]

hey raven could you plz post an interactive foliage tutorial ?

BTW your tutorials in youtube are the best ! Thanks for spending time on it!

[leoalexus]

Newest versions of UDK do not use the Archetype property or the UTGameCrowdAgent.

Instead there is a field called 'Crowd Agent List' type/copy the following into that field to get it working, you can delete the UTCrowdAgent from your level.

GameCrowd_ListOfAgents'UTExamp­leCrowd.CrowdLists.ExampleCrow­dList'

*A note if you copy this. The line you copy is on 2 lines in this comment and therefore delete the '-' from the line separation. It will delete everything in the field if there is a - *

[calvissuperman]

Do pylons work yet? in the april one they didnt do anything, and the crowds went right through all my walls

[Akunu101]

Did anyone else notice UDK's actor class window is biased on XML? Or at least looks like XML...

[hhhyhbkdx]

i need some help .. when i insert the gamecrowd agent in the map it the agent arquetype doesnt appear in the unreal kissmet ... am i doing something wrong?im using the july build

[redtrippyvision]

any idea how to change the static mesh from the robot to a custom one?

[redtrippyvision]

um wow dude, just wow.

[maticoff]

When i try and do a destination it just removes what i say and puts None in its place :(

[sonaxaton]

I followed everything in the tutorial up until you had to tell the UT Crowd Spawner in Kismet what archetype to use. The archetype property didn't even show up in the list when I clicked on the UT Crowd Spawner. I think I might have a later version of UDK than you, but do you know why I might not be seeing it?

[Rubensaccnt]

Yeah, watch for the changes Epic makes for each version of UDK they release

[treysaye]

did anyone figure out the missing agent archetype in kismet

[FirstPersonSlayer]

There's a problem... I cannot see agent archtype... I'm using may UDK beta

[TheLeetobix]

No i dont see agent archtypes

[outlawguy89]

Yea... I guess UDK updated or something like that, but when I make a UT Crowd Spawner Object, it doesn't have the option Agent Archetypes.... any help?

[MasterJosh5511]

I carnt find the Agent Archetypes, any help???

[YRUIM]

get a scorpion :P

[chrille92lind]

HEY !! i think i am the first one of us who found what the problem is!:D okey u will need 2 do everything raven sad and then! :DDD ( i just figurd it out :D ) go to the Kismet and press the UTCrowd spawner and scroll down for the crowd agent list and type:GameCrowd_ListOfAgents'UT­ExampleCrowd.CrowdLists.Exampl­eCrowdList' and the open actor classes then go down to the gamecrowdinteractionpoint then find the gamecrowdrepulsor and then add it on ur map and just simply walk on it! U R WELCOME!!

[0SmooK0]

[chrille92lind]

nice job :D could u mabye make an tutorial how to make an enemie? :D (or send an link cause i cant find an tut on that anywhere) / Christopher.

[fsmaestro]

use the example arch list in the arch list slot - it works!

[DeBayern]

where can i find 'the example arch list' ?

I have the same problem as xx7shadow7xx and 1stKarkan

[1stKarkan]

I Have got the same problem...

Maybe because i have the march beta.

[xx7shadow7xx]

When I am in the Kismet and click on UT Crowd Spawner, there is no Agent Archetypes in the list of properties...

[xEvercoldx]

@xx7shadow7xx I'm having the same problem. I can't find it anywhere...

[Rubensaccnt]

@xx7shadow7xx to you and every body, in kismet look for 'Crowd Agent List', select the 'Bishop Crowd archetype in the content browser, and hit the green arrow in the crowd agent list row. your crowd should now spawn nicely

[treysaye]

@Rubensaccnt i had to use the example crowd list in the browser window in order to get the agents to spawn everyone's may different though

[ImperioAme]

@treysaye Okay, any of the ideas below work for me, what i have done a little mix with your idea.

What i did was in the "Crowd Agent list" link the "ExampleCrowdList", and later edit the "ExampleCrowdList" from propeties, linking the "UTGameCrowdAgent" into "Agent Archtype" and "GroupMembers". To do that, i needed to create an archetype with that "UTgamecrowdAgent" from the actor clases, so, i can found the archetype in the content browser..

I'm not sure if i explained it good, hope youcanuseit

[PirateIt]

your a crackhead cracka mothafucka !

[supfreak2020]

dude creating an archetype of the crowd agent is way better you can change the skeletal mesh their behaviour and al that shit i have posted some tutorials i downloaded maybey they work a bit better

[bigsnakedotcom]

Mine just stands there :S , Had it working once but cant renember how I did it :/

[zakyzeek]

I did everything you said to do but when I preview it, all of the archetype copies just stand there. Even though the yellow line from my spawn point to my kill point is visible. (Not on preview mode.)

[ThaiMagNums]

it's have fun ^ ^

[starfox12341]

dude work on the sound quality i cant hear anything

[sunlovesusu]

[DeepNekro]

Can you share a finished map?

[raven67854]

Guess I can upload one later on. Don't have this map saved so gonna have to remake it really quickly.

[DeepNekro]

Thank you very much!

p.s. waiting.... ;)

[sekneox]

why do you always type in the names of the assets you want to be linked in kismet? just select the actor and then hit the green arrow on the right to the textfield :)

[SgtFunShineBear]

i was in kismet editor and put in utcrowd spawner, level loaded, and game crowd interaction destination in, made the ut game crowd agent, but when i went back to kismat the window wasnt open in the bottom left to type in. plz help thanx for your time

[tattoo576]

do you know how to change the look of your character

[zakyzeek]

choose a different archetype.

[coyotekid57]

Strange.... in my UDK install there does'nt appear to be a "UTGameCrowdAgent" under the "GameCrowdAgentSkeletal" entry..????

Any ideas why this might be.??

Thanks in advance

[raven67854]

hmm? Well I would suggest a re-install then if it's not there. Check in actor class.

[coyotekid57]

uurrmm.. Actor Class is indeed where i see "GameCrowdAgentSkeletal" in my new UDK install ..

Oh wel.. thanks for your reply..

[raven67854]

Your welcome

[ojdon]

Nice! But I'm having problems with lighting, I have ticked the dynamic box but they still display black. Any idea what I've done wrong?

[raven67854]

Hmmm... Did you rebuild the lighting?

[ojdon]

Yeah.

[raven67854]

Hmmm. OH Did you go to kismet. Open the UTCrowd Spawner And right above where you can turn the agent shadows on. Click the drop down tab and select dynamic lighting instead of crowd lighting. Or jump to 3:47

[Reitl]

Em, when they spawn they just stay on place, and i have no idea what is wrong...

[raven67854]

Did you set the 2nd crowdestination point? Otherwise they just spawn and dont move.

[Reitl]

Like on this video, only number in name is changed beacouse my crowd destination point is named 3 - 4 and no 0 - 1. Dont know why.

[TheUnboundReaver]

Ye I'v got the same problem =/

There is a link between them I can see it and i did the AI Build, don't know why they just stand there =/

[raven67854]

Hmm... Not sure what the problem is.

[Impated]

When i try to run into those robots, then they go right through me.

How do you them massive?

[raven67854]

They don;t have collision enabled. However you should be able to edit there collision by using the Robot that we used are for like background scenary. But yes you can enable collision.

[J4CKE1]

Thanks dude your tutorials have been really helpful. Wondering if you knew anything about modding the engine in the UDK to make mods or new games, the documentatin on that on the interwebs is pretty poor. It would be cool if you could make some tuts on that. Cheers man.

[raven67854]

Yes I plan to show how to make a game from scratch later on but for right now ima nock out all of the basics while I make assets and whatnot.

[J4CKE1]

Ahh dude you're a legend.

[raven67854]

Thanks

[Impated]

very cool, but how do you get the crowd to attack you??

[raven67854]

I am not sure. I do believe this is mostly for cinematic purposes. However I check the UDN and see if there is anyway to make them hostile.

[juanuslalala]

"and also dont kill him"

lol

Thans for all the tutorials!!!!

[raven67854]

Hahaha... yeah that was pretty funny ^^. REMEMBER KIDS don't kill the archtype :). Or they all spawn dead which is also cool. And glad you like the tutorial.
