Hi!

I have a problem. In the world of the game, I added a waypoint named "MOLERAT_SPAWN_01".

I entered his calling into a startup: Wld_InsertNpc(MOLERAT,"MOLERAT_SPAWN_01");

Of course, he appears on WP, but he does nothing. I added a freepoint next to it for this purpose named "FP_ROAM_MOLERAT_SPAWN_01". It is next to WP "MOLERAT_SPAWN_01". Molerat still stands still and does not move. There must be more than one freepoint? Maybe it was badly named?

The same is with meatbug, scavanger etc.

Change your freepoint name to FP_ROAM****.
All functions are looking for specific prefixes of freepoints:

FP_ROAM - NPC is roaming on freepoint.
FP_SLEEP - NPC is sleeping on freepoint.

Thanks, but I wrote that I have the following name: FP_ROAM_MOLERAT_SPAWN_01.

Ah, sorry seems like I am completely blind in that case I am not sure where the issue can be. Maybe try to put more than 1 FP next to your WP.

I added four, nothing helped.

You can try to put some prints in to the ZS loop function, this can tell you what goes wrong. For example you can add like this to ZS_MM_Rtn_Roam_loop:

	if (Npc_GetStateTime(self) > wanderTime)
	{
		if (Wld_IsNextFPAvailable(self,	"FP_ROAM"))	//NEXT, sonst findet er seinen eigenen FP = besetzt!
		{
			print("found FP_ROAM, moving there");								
			AI_GotoNextFP	(self,	"FP_ROAM");
		}else{
			print("cant find next FP_ROAM");
		};
		//sonst stehenbleiben
		
		self.aivar[AIV_TAPOSITION] = NOTINPOS;
	}
	else
	{
		if (Hlp_Random(1000) <= 5)
		{
			var int randomMove;
			randomMove = Hlp_Random(3);
			if (randomMove == 0) {AI_PlayAni(self, "R_ROAM1");};
			if (randomMove == 1) {AI_PlayAni(self, "R_ROAM2");};
			if (randomMove == 2) {AI_PlayAni(self, "R_ROAM3");};
		};
	};

If you activate MARVIN/debug mode you can enter in the console(F2) "toggle freepoints" to see them ingame.

Hmm, doesn't work. Does not display print.

I created a crude look:

There are two waypoints and two freepoints. Monsters (Scavengers) are spawned on WP. With WP they go to FP the first time, and then they are still standing.

Btw. I also added the third FP in the middle. It did not do anything.

Prints not showing up at all is weird.
If you want a monster to roam you need 2 freepoints("FP_ROAM_XYZ") for that monster. So that it can walk from one freepoint to another.
If you place freepoints like this:

And insert one Lurker at FP_ROAM_A and insert one Molerat at FP_ROAM_C, what should happen is that the Lurker always wanders between A and B, while the molerat always wanders between C and D.

edit: Adjusted example, Scavengers are normally not roaming, they have sleep and eatGround set. If you want scavengers to roam, you would need to adjust the NPC script.

Could you send me this as a test zen? The world as a plain empty spot with the correct setting + code for startup. I would like to analyze it. There are too many objects on Khorinis.

EDIT: Thanks @Cryp18Struct.

It's work.
