In Response To: Re: Mapping community (Nick Hoad)

: Glad to hear you intend to do this Goran, it will help many scenario makers.
: With regards to monster movement I'll speak about my MPiD experiences
: (yes, MPiD is all I talk about).

: As most know the levels in PiD are bascially narrow passageways. The
: problems, so to speak, arise in that monsters get stuck in the walls
: (where there are tiny tringular polygons acting as corners). Also, how do
: zone borders work exactly? To get a monster to activate usually exactly as
: a player comes within sight there needs to be a "Activate Visible
: monsters" polygon. This kind of polygon, however, activates most of
: the surrounding monsters, making them all walk down a single corridor in
: single file instead of coming at varied points.

: Tell me if you can make any sense of the above paragraph Goran, I'll try and
: supply you with questions as best I can.

First of all, Zone Borders help counter out the "ripple effect" caused by making a noise or stepping on an Activate Monster polygon. If you form a solid wall of Zone Borders, if you shoot a gun on one side, monsters on the other side won't wake up.

As for the other problem, you could simply flag monsters as Deaf, but not Blind. That way, as soon as they see you, they'll activate, but if they don't see you (and you don't step on a trigger), they won't activate.
