NPC walking along a path.

Is there a tutorial or an example on the best way to make an NPC loop along a path? Thanks!

    Create a new Path, and set the Path type to Loop.  When you then use the Character: Move along Path Action, the NPC will loop on it.

    Is it possible to automatically call Character: Move along Path at start-up without any Interactions?
  • ChrisIceBoxChrisIceBox
    Yes - just create an "On start" Cutscene in the Scene Manager and place the Action in there.

    Thanks! I have a follow-up question. Is the "Keep out of Player's way" NPC setting supposed to work in this case? In my scene it's not working, but perhaps I didn't set it up properly.
  • ChrisIceBoxChrisIceBox
    No - it'll only work if the NPC is stationary to begin with.

    Is there also a possibility to create more cutscenes on start? If not, is there another way to let multiple npc's follow a path?

    You can chain Cutscenes together, or have them run in parallel.

    Each Action's After running field can be set to Run Cutscene, or for greater control you can use the ActionList: Run Action.  If you want two chains of Actions / Cutscenes running at the same time, use the ActionList: Run in parallel Action.
