How do i make bots to jump from crate to crate?

Post by KillRoy1972 »

Okey, I am kinda stuck with this, and it is not a major problem, but I need to know how to solve this.. (see pic for reverence)

So, i need the bots to jump form crate to crate, but I'n not able to do so.
Using path nodes is not working because i the hight (it hink), because the crates ar in jump range.
Jumpspots the bots will use the translocator or jumpboots, but not just a regular jump.

Question is, what node do I use to make the bots just regular jump from crate to crate and how do i use the nodes in terms of placing (like with the lift center / lift exit)

Just a simpel thing, but i just can not manage to get it to work..

I probably miss something very obvious..

Any light would be nice!

I've had this problem myself, didn't quite resolve it tbh.
All i can say is that it has something to do with the lift enter/exit and jumpspots, the problem I had is that I tried to use them with a jumpad and the bots would go on the jumpad but then just kept jumping and would not exit for no reason. :???: Then again could be a matter of bad execution from me or a flaw of the engine and Bots can not jump freely like humans do (not in jump pad cenarious like mine, but jumping boxes like in yours), idk maybe one of the good coders arround here comes and answer this

It'll look goofy, but you can make a very slim invisible collision hull and have them run across. Or just put some planks up. I'm not sure you can make the bots jump reliably.

You can take in account this - not as design - it was a pathing exercise from my tiny brain... it's a bit older but I found it through junks sitting here...
