UDK Tutorial-Adding Bots

[SuperGenericguy]

bots aren't even spawning for me and I can't find out why please help i've been working on it all week even looking through google but no one's having this problem apparently i used older versions and it worked but the game i'm making requuires newer featuresDX

[chrishm27]

@SuperGenericguy You might be using a newer version of UDK

[pokenerd99]

Can you add allies (friendly bots that shoot enemies)?

[moh199702]

can you make a tutorial on how to spawn vehicles? i know its very similar but i cant get it to work

[Gladosisdahbest]

@moh199702 All you have to do is go on your content browser, and you'll find them :D

[moh199702]

@Gladosisdahbest do u know where i can find a hover board?

[support747]

So if i want to make it spawn more than 1, i need to add a new actor factory? or is there a trick to do it with one.

[009PvtRyan]

FUCK THIS UT FACTORY AI IS BULLSHIT

[kaham1993]

it wont let me select a factory option... WTF?

[MrMassminer12]

uhh when i click blue arrow and click utactorfactory whatevar and

nothing appears i mean i dont see a selection for stuff like utbot. why cant i

[chrishm27]

@MrMassminer12 There should be an arrow under factory. Did you try clicking on it?

[MeTaLdUdE02]

nvm the last question,i took care of it, but now it says that UTactorAI failed to spawn at pathnode

[MeTaLdUdE02]

i accidentaly got rid of my properties box and the one next to it in Kimset, how do i get it back?

[MrAstronomiebahner]

Works fine.

But I want to spawn a Player in my Team. That works, too.

But when I want to spawn more than one Player in my Team, they´re all spawning in the Enimy Team. What can I do?

[BobLam0127]

WHEN I CLICK UT FACTORY AI NOTHING APPEARS I FOLLOWED 5 TUTORIALS BEFORE THIS ONE AND NOTHING HAPPENS PLEASE HELP!!!

[chrishm27]

@BobLam0127 read some of the comments! some are really helpfull because you might be using a diffrent version

[BobLam0127]

@chrishm27 I know I'm using a different one because I use May 2011. But I found a way how to make it. Just make your crowd soldier and select your preset thing in the content browser so you can connect it to the kismet settings.

[Robbos]

To those having problems. Try using the UDK versions for both the controller and the pawn, it worked for me.

[Chubzdoomer]

@Robbos Not so. With that technique, the bot doesn't spawn at all.

[Robbos]

@Chubzdoomer Must be a version thing. 

[Chubzdoomer]

@Robbos Yeah, I'm afraid so. :-(

[iLeonardoo]

ffs i'm having a new problem now on 2:19 when i click the blue arrow and choose UTFactoryAI nothing happens.. any help? thx

[nickyherre]

thnx for the tutorial. I just started today to learn udk and this is a big advance. Keep it up

[iLeonardoo]

my bot wont shoot back :/ it just stays there

i got the May 2011 UDK beta (the newest one)

could the problem be because im using the newest UDK?

[chrishm27]

@iLeonardoo Yes the one I was using in this video was June 2010 and the updates were Dec 2010 so I think the newer ones is way different

[chrishm27]

@iLeonardoo did you try to rebuild paths and have 3 player starts: one for the player and the other for the 2 bots, I have retried it and make sure to play around with the settings make sure its UTPawn and UTbot

[iLeonardoo]

@chrishm27

i did everything you did

maybe i did something wrong

i'll try doing it again

[mc0h]

@iLeonardoo

Hey, the solution to that is either to set the Controller Class (in Actor Factory properties) to None or leave it as UTBot and set few more things in kismet as in this pic img12.imageshack.us/img12/4923­/picyj.png

Second solution will make your bot shoot you after it traces you down, but it wont run (found that somewhere on yt)

[chrishm27]

@iLeonardoo yes

[MrRpgmakerkid]

Why wont it let me select UTfactoryAI i cannot select anything doesnt let me i click but it doesnt apear as ut factory it keeps saying none.

[vividvectors]

that was helpful, thanx, buuuut the bot is still not attacking, trying to figure that out.

[smashinglollipops]

what size is your map?

[chrishm27]

@smashinglollipops anything bigger than 1024x1024x16 so you can try 5000x5000x16 which works great!

[smashinglollipops]

@chrishm27 thanks but I'm trying to make a 3 level house (basement,1st floor, 2nd floor) would 2048x2048x16 work? also do know anything about the external reference error? I've had it on both the April and May versions and its starting to annoy me.

[crosswire1989]

my bot doesn't shoot back. it just stays there

[chrishm27]

@crosswire1989 it might be the engine because the one I was using was the dec engine, so I'm thinking anything after dec shouldent work in the same order.

[SpectrumDodge]

@crosswire1989 Try setting the controller class of the actor factory to none.

[MultiPivotmasterdx]

help when i press UTfactoryAI it does nothing i am using the march 2011 beta please help

[awesomemann1234]

@MultiPivotmasterdx I had the same problem. You need to update to the april version. Hope that helps!

[braiinD3AD]

i dont have a pathnode_1 just a pathnode_0 does that make any difference? also mine wont attack he just sits there and does nothing

[radazblud]

so how do u spawn mulitple bots??

[chrishm27]

@radazblud just do the same thing but with many pathnodes

[dake222]

@chrishm27 ive tried to spawn multiple bots but it only spawns 1. do i need multiple playerstarts too?

[chrishm27]

@radazblud thats a yes

[dake222]

@chrishm27 What? How do you spawn like 3 bots on startup......and i want them to work together. I dont want chaos. Also if you know how do i make one friendly bot for me

[PhenomenalHeadShot]

@chrishm27 Wtf... you answered "how" with "yes" im confused.

[rOckRIVeRo]

Excuse me, how i can do to my enemies have more health, i mean, very hard to kill them??????????

[toimelin]

[Thepoliticman]

[TheTarzoc]

Man for future reference...I wouldn't personally subscribe someone who is soo desperate enough to BLOCK the PAUSE BUTTON in order to maek someone subscribe to them...

[Thepoliticman]

@TheTarzoc ExAcTLY! ME TOO!!!!!

[helloboratm8]

Hey dude, Can you tell me why when i click on the blue arrow and choose ai actor thing it doesnt do anything? cheers

[BigGangstaSK]

gotta question. when i set up on my map everything like in yo video (mean actor factory), he dont want to attack me.  Even when I made him attack me, after adding few more bots they were killing themselves. Question is how to assign them to the same team - they against me

[chrishm27]

@BigGangstaSK the way i showed is just a deathmatch soo team deathmatch is a little bit harder and takes about 3 videos so i will put them up soon !

[BigGangstaSK]

@chrishm27 if I can please you - tell me when you get it here, thanks

[WoWvcraftVids]

how do i make ground? lol, coz ive just been turning walla on thier side... and i dont know how to make tht grey and blue stuff....?

[thenishanth420]

Hey my enemies which are far away die quickly even before I get to that room.If I play from near them,then they are visible but if I play from the beginning of the level then they just die or disapear!Please help!!I don't want them to die quickly before I reach them!!

[AnungUnRama987]

i am able to get bots in the map but if put in multiple bots they shoot at each other any one know how to solve this?

[AnungUnRama987]

i put in multiple bots but they shoot at each other any one know how to get the bots to only shoot at the player?

[UnsoundAncient]

this works on any size map. idk why you said 5000 cause thats huge.

[sabz2011]

grt tutorial, can u plzz help me how to add bots in your team i mean i dont want bots attacking me but to help me ?

[chrishm27]

@sabz2011 yea i can help with that but its really long and kinda hard lol

[101GamingTeam]

@chrishm27 hey this is a message to you asking about your responce to sabzs2011. I need to know to! LOL i just can't find out :D! If you could make a tutorial, that would be great!

[braiinD3AD]

@chrishm27 thats what she said

[SenkaiSensei]

It write (kismet warning: failed to spawn at pathnode ) when i play .the ennemie is there but he dont attack .wath is the problem ?

[chrishm27]

@SenkaiSensei there could be a number of things that could be wrong but did u make sure the map is big enough?

[aidenfry1]

Thanks for this dude, I also couldn't get this to work using the september Beta.

Think i have figures out why, In this vid u say to make the actor class "UTBot", But it only works on my beta if i leave the controller class as "None". Everhting else stays the same.

Cheers once again

[echo3zero]

@aidenfry1 Using "UTBot" works on earlier versions as I found out, but won't work on the September release. Thanks for posting this, hopefully it will save people some hassle.

Thanks for the video!

Cheers

[icvir]

@aidenfry1 ... setting it back to "None" worked a treat, my enemy finally attacks me!! cheers =D

[chrishm27]

@aidenfry1 thx for the heads up

[juansk8101]

thanks dude it help me alot keep it up

[speedyeggbert2009]

IT WONT WORK!

[chrishm27]

@speedyeggbert2009 this is old and they change some settings in the engine so just sit tight and ill make another video that will:D

[onlymassiss]

When i press Ad " AIFACTORY or whatever it's named, it woldt work! It just keeep standing "None"

[chrishm27]

@onlymassiss which version is it?(EX.UDK Feb?)

[onlymassiss]

@chrishm27

no, September UDK Beta

[chrishm27]

@onlymassiss the 1 i had was the march so they change things around I will try to remake this video but to the latest update :D

[onlymassiss]

@chrishm27

Ok, thx:p

[Bethrion]

How can I add several bots in the same level?

[chrishm27]

@Bethrion Well, their is a lot of ways to do this. But in the video the way I showed it is for death match so they kill everything in sight. but if you want a way to make them patroll or like be on the same team go to udk.com. and go to the community and download the bots tutorial. its very long but its worth it at the end.

[mariopot789]

thanks for the tutorial i had to do something like this for homework but it's mandatory for my class that i use an older version of udk, do you have any suggestions ?

[CRUSNIKOFDEATH]

for some reason i dont have a drop down tab next to the word factory like in 2:26 can someone please message me an let me know whats wrong :(

[chrishm27]

@CRUSNIKOFDEATH have u tryed getting a newwer version or update it?

[PsychoDesigns]

Thanks for the tutorial! Any idea why when I do exactly the same thing my bot doesn't attack the player?

[chrishm27]

@PsychoDesigns  did you set it to force deathmatch ai?

[PsychoDesigns]

@chrishm27 Yeah, But we figured it out, after weeks of debugging and pulling hair, it appears to be an issue with the Feb release, we upgraded to the July release and now it works. Thanks!

[TobyLee87]

@PsychoDesigns

this happens to me too and no idea why

[PsychoDesigns]

@TobyLee87 which version of UDK are you using, we updated to the July release and now it works.

[TobyLee87]

@PsychoDesigns July version too, I found the problem though, it was because instead of selecting UTBot you should now select None

[theking199012]

do you know how to make ai take cover

[chrishm27]

@theking199012 srry i do not know how but ill research it for you and post a video :D

[theking199012]

@chrishm27 thank you. i need this for my game

[airsoftguy15551]

lol mine keep saying it has an anyurism XDDDDD thanx

[chrishm27]

@airsoftguy15551 Well what i showed is a very basic way to make an A.I deathmatch bot.. Bots on the same team is a diffrent story. Thats a little harder and takes time . I could make a video but it would take a rough 15-20 min. I might post an Advanced version on Bots so be on the look out.

[airsoftguy15551]

@chrishm27 ok thanx but now when i try to add utactorfactoryai if i click on it it does not do anything

[chrishm27]

@airsoftguy15551 Yea I had the same problem. what I think the problem is , is the map is too small for the utbot so it wont work well if the map is to small. so like in the video i made it x5000 y5000 z16 so i wont have that problem :)

[airsoftguy15551]

@chrishm27 thanx much i added you as a friend
