Is there any publically available information, or will there be any, on the .rec file format? Currently NPCs can only do pre-made recordings, which makes writing AI scripts which dynamically interact with the world very difficult. If we had access to the file format a system could be developed to enable functions such as NPCDriveToPoint, NPCWalkToPoint etc, being useful for certain types of scripts.

Edit: I just realised you could try use the velocity and angle functions for making paths, but it's still not a brilliant solution, especially given that that only covers z angles.

This question was on my mind, i hope we will have access to .REC files.

wouldnt it be easier to just use the commands to take them to a certain point?

[Y_Less]

How do you mean?

[CracK]

I had a suggestion having something like SetKeys(keys,duration); to use in npc-scripts, but having information about .rec file format will be more useful.

Y_less i'm sure some of the bot functions haven't even been released.

Wait until they're all out,please.

I hope for functions like

MoveBot(x,y,z);
MakeBotShootAt(x,y,z); etc.

If you attach an object to a player and then move the object does it stay attached and drag the player with it ?

If so you could move the object and play a walk animation to fake a MoveBotToPoint( bot, x, y, z, angle ).

Sadly I think I am wrong though and the object will become unattached but an idea is an idea

I think he means like SetPlayerPos etc.

SetPlayerPos @ Bots works.

[Y_Less]

SetPlayerPos works, but it's not very elegant.

Possibly not, but even so, that still doesn't mean I'm not interested. It also means other people can write their own recording software.
