i think there is someth on birds in ScriptedController sec.

Sure, sounds like it'd be a lot easier to use the built-in flocks... but which version are they built into? 2004 doesn't include those classes, sadly. Are they available as a download or something?ZeRaW said:check http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/AIControllers#AI_Controllers

I thought this sounded interesting, so I'm working on a flocking controller and pawn right now using a very pacified razorfly as a base. I'll let ya (whoever is reading this thread 2 years from now) know how it goes. So far I've just barely scratched the surface, getting a lone "bird" to properly explore a landscape without many non-terrain bits (eg ONS-Dawn). Next comes collision detection / avoidance, then finally... maybe... flocking.
you might want to watch the game 'painkiller'... there is an expansion pack coming out which features among other things a level editor and the SDK.. it might help to see how painkiller handles its flock AI, which is really cool.
For those who dont know, it has flocks of birds which react when you walk near them, swarm and even pick at the dead bodies of other creatures.. would be pretty insane to have something like this in UT

It would but you do realise that with totally different game engines, the only thing you'll be able to port is the basic concept, not very helpful.

Why? It's just BASIC code. Like Sir_Brizz stated above, I think I could do this in a couple of hours if someone provided me with the graphics. Of course having said that, will I actually do it... that's something to think about.would be pretty insane to have something like this in UT
Not that it even matters. Simply put, you could do whatever other engine does to a certain extent. Most ideas that are from other games can easily be made in Unreal ... to almost striking similar behaviour.
In any case, the mother cow and the baby cow could help with basic flocking code. This source is found in UT99. Also other UT99 code scripts tutorials had examples on how to make bots follow you and so on... those principles can easily be applied here.
