Waypoint Problem! No path found!
 

I have been working on a waypoint file.


After the bot touches all of the waypoints, it becomes retarded (looking at extremely wild angles, squishing itself against things while jumping, trailing off in random directions, etc), I also get TONS of spam in console:


It is impossible to use the console for anything useful after that starts.

Please help.

Server mode: listen
mods: podbot mm, metamod

Re: Waypoint Problem! No path found!
 

This annoying message means Your waypoints for the map are broken - there is no connection from one node to another - bot can go to some node (waypoint) , but it cannot go anywhere else, because the outgoing connection is broken / missing.

To solve this there are 2 solution :
1. Find better pwf file (with waypoints) for Your map (and don't forget delete map_name.pvi and map_name.pxp files located in podbot\wptdefault - those for old map_name.pwf - this one with broken paths) - use for it Waypointing forum - if there is no pwf You need - ask nicely for it - maybe someone will create it for You or just look into filebase.
2. Fix the problem Your self - go to the Waypoint editor (works only on listenserver) by console command:
wpmenu
then try to find option "save" - if some path is broken - the editor will "teleport" You to the broken path to let You fix missing connection. More details about using wp editor You can find here.

Thanks a lot! I did what you said and found that I had a one way path "broken" so i had to change a path from "incomming" to "outgoing"

thanks :yes:

btw i waypointed fy_dahisouze (sp?) pretty niceley, the bots even climb all the ladders smoothly and ring the doorbell before entering the houses ;)

only problem is they like to look at wild angles sometimes, dont know how to fix that yet hehe

Re: Waypoint Problem! No path found!
 

No - You shouldn't automatically change such paths from incomming to outgoing. I suggest do this if it's really possible (also for human players) one way direction to go. Otherwise (if the human player can go in both directions) - Your path should be "bi-directional".

If it's related only to camp waypoint - You can do only this - remove (delete) such waypoints and place them manually again. Then Your bots should look in correct directions from camp spots. But if it's not related to camp waypoints - You may need to ask about it at Waypointing forum.
But before asking there - try to express more detailed Your problem - try to notice when they are looking in strange directions.

Wow old memories, so nostalgic.

Update:

I learned a lot about programming in pawn and for amxmodx after the first post.

I was working on an enterprise level server for "gungame league" but I ran into some RL problems and now the (valuable) product I had made went on the back burner, and I became instantly uninterested (taking medicine for that now...... heh)

Anyway,
Hope everything is going well over here. There's a special spot in my heart for this combination of programming.


By The way I find PodBot MM to be as valuable as amxmodx itself...


edit: I became very good at waypoint making from scratch, made about 20 decent wp sets from scratch for 10ish maps. If you need one PM me :)

I'll remember that.
