UE3 - UT3 Please help with bot pathing/attack questions

Okay guys, I'm having a few problems getting my bot to do what I want it to do, and I just can not find any good tutorials on Bot AI. Please answer my questions! I need to get this figured out for school.

I know how to create a spawn point, add paths, spawn the bot via "addbots 1" and then have the bot follow those paths and deviant from those paths to come after me. That's easy.

And I know how to make a trigger to spawn a bot and have the bot move to different path nodes in a waypoint fashion and then stop and shoot at me from a still position.

However, I don't know how to spawn a bot, have a bot move to different paths nodes, and then after reaching it's destination, switch into deathmatch mode to where it would then proceed to seek me out and kill me. (So basically, I don't know how to combine the two things I know). It seems that once I add add any kismet or triggers, the automatic 'seek and destroy' instinct of the bot is lost. How can I have it move along a scripted path, but then after completion, get back into 'seek and destroy' mode to where it would come after me and not necessarily follow the path nodes?

Thank you in advance, I really need this working for school. Our team depends on your knowledge!

Let's try this again...

Okay, I guess the question I have is: How do you tell a bot via Kismet to go into the seek and destroy mode that deathmatch has it do? There doesn’t seem to be anything out in the open to do that. Once I have the bot spawn in using a trigger instead of using "addbots 1", I have no idea how to set it back into that deathmatch state of mind.

Kantham, do you know if setting up a Move to Actor and having the destination the "player" would work? Shouldn't that mean that the bot would move towards the player? I have set it up, but it doesn't work. Here is a screenshot of Kismet:



Are you fairly sure it doesn't work just out of Kismet? If so, do you know where I could look to find the code? Good tutorials/examples are far and few between for this, and I'm a bit surprised.

I do, but I guess that's not it eh? How would I go about doing that if not with Move to? I need to be able to put him back on task again.

Here's my latest progression. I put it in a loop, like you said, and now he follows me like he a magnet lol!



Any ideas?
