I set up one of the ai on my map as a biped so that I could put a nav point marker on him. That worked fine. He walks around fine and all but he has no weapon, I went into his biped tag in gorilla and added the weapon I wanted him to have (the shotgun) but in sapien and in the game he walks around aimlessly without a weapon. What do I do to make him carry a weapon.

The biped I added is captain keys and I know he is able to carry a weapon because he carryies one in one part of the campaign and I have played a SP map where you can play as him...

Thank you for your help... (if you actually try to help me)

?

You need to modify his ACTOR VARIANT and place him as AI if you wa... wait... no... bipeds can hold weapons...

I do not know... I tried.

Well he is a biped that follows an encounter I set up with a script... I just need to know how to give him a weapon!

Look in the biped, and make sure he can hold the weapon in the .model_animations tag.

You were on the right track. In the actor_variant tag, there should be a "weapon" field near the top. Refer to the weapon you want your AI to use there. The biped's weapons don't affect what weapon an AI holds.

He could use ai_attach to give him Artificial Intelligence you know. I did that once with a player, and he could do AI stuff that players can't.

True, because AI can refer to animations such as diving, evading, signaling, etc; while players are limited to what their controls allow.

ok, so I found a Ranged Combat tab under the captain.actor_variant tag. I set it to the shotgun.weapon tag but he still doesn't hold any gun... ? ??!?? !?? ?!?
