after playing various sp maps ive noticed after mixing up different encounters that c20(the library), when you reach the elevator to the second floor the elites and jackals freeze up(like it was a biped with no ai or animation). the first floor works nice though.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but try this command:

(ai_force_active [ai] [boolean])

tried but it didnt seem to ''activate'' them. they are still pretty much braindead. my point was that i used sapien and the first ai encounter i made(with covenant) worked and they reacted and killed flood like they are supposed to. after i made my second covenant encounter and squads for the second bsp part(second floor) they seemed to be sort of corrupt. they didnt move or react(they freezed and were brain dead)

They don't have animations for something. use the exact same jackal actors for the two floors. Then we'll know it something is up with either the actor tags or the environment.

tried. probably something with the animation. i think its very strange. any clue how to fix this?

My guess is that's in in the animation tag, and some actions have no animation assigned to them. Rip a new jackal.model_animations
EDIT: Back up and delete your old one.

well there is one thing. it doesnt only happend to the jackals but also grunts and all sorts of elite. could it still be the animations? its odd how it doesnt work anyway even though i insert flood with the same problem

That's never happened to me before, at least not to that extent. Try fixing the jackal's (OR grunts OR elites). Then we'll see.

I seriously doubt it's the animations, but if you really think so go ahead and try to fix them.

still doesnt work. i noticed at sapien that red circles with a line over it(like error) appear next to my squad actor placement at my second encounter block. next to all to actors in encounter block 2 contains an error sign. i try to replace them too. the signs doesnt appear until after you have saved the custom scenario and exit the map editor and restart. the only error the tool build says is that one of the actors may be stuck but that only two of them(not all)

I think I figured it out. The ai's minds are not 'in' the current BSP. Make sure you assign your ai to the bsp # you're in.
EDIT: and there's a script for this too, but I forget.

it worked good at the keyes level and i didnt do that mistake while fixing c20. something with the map? im not good with scripts at all. at the keyes level all the ai worked properly. also the freeze thing happened on the c10 map. only happends to the 90% flood maps. i need to learn scripting. noticed on c10 and c20 that the ai works at the first bsp part. i dont know how to make the covenant use their minds at all the bsp in the c10 and c20 scenario
