AI Marker Editor
This is an add-on to the Improved AI Guard Unit resource to help simplify creating, editing and managing of your spawn markers through use of a GUI based editor.Tired of having to remember the correct values for all 7 dynamic variables? Having problems managing dozens of spawn markers? Well here's your solution. This GUI based spawn marker editor can help with all of that and much more. Create, edit and manage all of your spawn points with just a few clicks.
This editor is specifically designed to be as compatible with the Improved AI Guard Unit resource as possible. For example, if you change the default settings located at the top of aiplayer.cs, the defaults will also change in the editor and on all of your spawn points that are currently set to the default value. This also allows the minimum amount of needed data to be saved to your .mis file, without compromising any features.
This resource automatically detects your current valid spawn markers, AI path markers, player body datablocks and weapon datablocks. So there's no need to go hunting around for, or even to remember the names of, those things. All you have to do is select what you want from the drop down lists, apply, save your mission once you're done applying all of your changes and then reload your mission to see the results.
INSTALLATION
In creator/main.cs add the following to the bottom of the executes list:
exec("./editor/AIMarkerEditor.cs");
exec("./editor/AIMarkerEditor.gui");Add the following line to the bottom of your client/scripts/default.bind.cs file:
GlobalActionMap.bind(keyboard, "alt a", toggleAIMarkerEditor);
Then put the two files, whose code is below, in the correct folder:
creator/editor/AIMarkerEditor.cs
creator/editor/AIMarkerEditor.gui
And you're done. Press alt + a to open the AI Marker Editor. Usage should be fairly self explanatory.
KNOWN ISSUES
-If you use object names that are unusual, non-unique or blank; this can cause minor errors.
-If you use a complex structure the simgroups (with multiple simgroups inside of another simgroup) and you have AI markers or paths deep within that structure, sometime the markers and paths won't be added to the lists they should be on.
CHANGE LOG
* March 4, 2009: Changed the install instructions to fix a minor bug.
If you enjoy using this resource, you should consider purchasing The Universal AI Starter Kit. It has been updated with many new features, bugs fixes and performance enhancements, along with better documentation, an easier installation process, and the code has been more modular and customizable. Check The UAISK's product page or my blogs for more information.

you do know of course, that the AI Guard and this resource work a treat in TGEA. I have them both working wonderfully with 1.7.1 thanks. 
#4
With this added in, with the improved Ai Guard (which I mightr add, is GREAT!) can you set up Ai to just stand still, but rotate so they are looking at you?
-> am planing on using this with the Yack Pack!

Unfortunately, no. That's not one of the things that can be changed with this resource, so for now you'll have to keep using the "Friendly AI Marker" resource that you wrote.
At some point I do plan to add even more features to my "Improved AI Guard Unit" resource, but currently I can't say what features I will add or when I will be updating it (so don't count on anything with that).
But, having said that, adding in an option for non-aggressive NPCs that can talk to you, is a possibility in the future (it's one of the many things on my huge AI to do list). Although I'm not using the Yack Pack, so it likely wouldn't work with that pack without at least a little modifying.

Well, can you just make them not run at you? Because if so, I can just make sure they aren't holding a crossbow, and there you have it, a non-agressive AI
From Max
Ps. what are the different Behaiviour options?

I haven't tested this much so it may have bugs (and if it does have bugs, I don't have time to fix them right now).
In aiPlayer.cs, function AIPlayer::spawn()
Add the last two lines here under the first two which are already there:
Then change:
To:
And add the following variable to the marker (this will not work at all, in any way with this editor):

The "behavior" option here corresponds to the "doesReturn" dynamic variable in the Improved AI Guard Unit resource (check that resource for details).I haven't tested this much so it may have bugs (and if it does have bugs, I don't have time to fix them right now).
In aiPlayer.cs, function AIPlayer::spawn()
Add the last two lines here under the first two which are already there:
//The bots starting attention level is set to half of it's range. attentionlevel = $AI_GUARD_MAX_ATTENTION/2; //sets wheither or not the bot should attack players passiveNPC = %obj.passive;
Then change:
//Sets the bot to begin thinking after waiting the length of $AI_GUARD_CREATION_DELAY %player.schedule($AI_GUARD_CREATION_DELAY,"Think", %player);
To:
if (%obj.passive $= "")
{
//Sets the bot to begin thinking after waiting the length of $AI_GUARD_CREATION_DELAY
%player.schedule($AI_GUARD_CREATION_DELAY,"Think", %player);
}And add the following variable to the marker (this will not work at all, in any way with this editor):
passive = "something";

I have been trying to get an aiWheeledVechile going (using TGE 1.5.2) with no luck, so i was wondering, can you incoperate the buggy into this marker system?

I don't have creator/main.cs in TGEA... where do I have to apply changes? Thanks and sorry for the noob question =].
#10
And change the paths to:
exec("./gui/AIMarkerEditor.gui");
exec("./scripts/AIMarkerEditor.cs");
And then put them in the correct folders.
Hope that works. I'm currently using TGE 1.5.2, so this is just based on the TGEA demo.

Try: tools/missionEditor/main.csAnd change the paths to:

I am no longer supporting this resource at all. For future updates please purchase The Universal AI Starter Kit. The UAISK contains a vastly improved version of this editor, in addition to many other things. 
#13
Thanks

If I buy the UAISK will I be able to avoid trying to implement the above resource? Will it install and function with T3D 1.2? Thanks. I'm finally ready to add a bad guy to shoot at that shoots back(-:Thanks
Robert
#14
01/02/2012 (9:19 pm)
Yes. The UAISK contains drag and drop files that are already setup to work in T3D 1.2. Having enemies that actually shoot back makes a world of difference.
#16
This probably a stupid question but I'm kinda new(-:
Thanks
Robert
01/03/2012 (5:33 pm)
I just bought the UAISK but wont be able to get the AFX2.O until a few weeks. Which Download should I down load. The top two saw AFX2.0 + UAISK Interop. Will those work even though I don't have Arcane Effects yet?This probably a stupid question but I'm kinda new(-:
Thanks
Robert
#17
EDIT: Also you can post any further questions in The UAISK's private forum.
01/03/2012 (6:04 pm)
The current newest non-AFX version is labeled as "Universal AI Starter Kit 1.9.0".EDIT: Also you can post any further questions in The UAISK's private forum.

Thanks a lot. I will. At least in a few weeks when I get Arcane Effects I will already know which one to DL. LOL. Have a good night.Robert
