A quick and simple tutorial on using the Unreal Development Kit latest features. Crowd systems allows you to show a huge army off in the distance. I will be making a more advanced tutorial later on showing you how to change the model as well as showing you some other path finding tricks.

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!

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!

@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
