It should have the battledroid's animations, since it's loading the unit's file. He just won't walk.(He might if you use fake console to change the AI Objective, IDK)

hmmm, i dont think he would just shoot if you sent him out as the auto turret dispenser's ord. you would have to give it some aimer turret junk and such. (you could probobly just get all of that from the turret itself) i might try it out today.

I think It would take a very long time because as mentioned before, auto turrets don't move. You would have to use more than just the pathing too.

i think that making him move by himself is a "little" too advanced for most of us. so lets stick to something more simple

Am I missing something? what about recon droids? Also, in Spira: Besaid, Maveritchell had a deploy-able unit, so it's possible. I'd think ai would be able to use it to, since they use recon droids.

no, what they are saying is that it controls itself. like its an AI as soon as you deploy it and it foolows you nommater what. anyway, i tried out deploying it as a turret and that didnt really work. it needs a lot of coding

To AgentSmith_#27: i have made a deployable ackaly that you can control like a recon droid, but i failed at making a trooper like that. im not sure, but i thin you could make a deployable droideka too.

Well, it looks like if you want to create AI-controlled deployable units, you have to do it the good-old fashioned way.

and that is?

EYN -> How to create AI-Controlled spawned units

interesting, ill have to keep that in mind.

that is totally possible, in fact it would be quite easy to do. All you would need to do was make the spawned unit on a third side, which had the AIGoal of follow. The only thing i wouldn't know exactly how to do is set it to follow the player, as normally it follows a specific unit type.

What you could probably do is make this third side spawn in a spot right away from the map with no goals yet. Make it so that on the weapon use the unit is spawned to the players location, with a new goal of following the player. You would need some skill with lua scripting, but it wouldn't be impossibly hard would it?

Quick question:

Can you tell the spawned unit to follow you?

Good idea lucas, you've helped me a lot. A note to everyone, I'm not sure I want the droid to follow me, I kinda want it to go off and do its own thing, but that could change.

Gathered Ideas:
I could have a seperate side that has the droids, then have them spawned in a contained box, way away from the map (possibly under?), then I do a little scripting to transport one of the droids from the box to my current position when I use the dispenser. That should work!

you could (like most shipped maps) have a wall around your map made by hills or objects, and than somewhere out in the distance (in like a corner of zeroeditor) have a small box that contains you units.

Thats basicly what I just said, so are you just being annoying or are you acknowledging what I said?

oh, srry, i didnt see the contained box part, i just saw the under the map part..i did not mean to be rude or repeat what you said.
