I assign my custom AI with custom weapon (I.E Halo 3 or Reach BR/DMR) in Guerilla but when I place the AI in sapien, save the scenario and load it up again I don't see my AI carrying that weapon but instead they are carrying a vanilla weapon (IE Halo ce Assault Rifle)

What went wrong?

Custom weapons tags not placed correctly?

Could be a number of things. First thought would be that the weapon's label isn't supported by the biped's standing/crouching seat animations. Look at the labels you have in your biped's animation tag under Units-Weapons-Weapon Types and either add your weapon's label there, or rename your weapon's label to one that's already listed.

Second would be depending on how you're placing your AI, either spawning them from an encounter or by attaching a biped to an existing encounter. The former uses the weapons in the actor variant tag, while the latter uses the topmost weapon listed in the biped tag.

Third would be that your custom weapon uses a stock weapon's 3rd person model, so it only looks like they're using the default rifle. I've done this before.

I applied the weapon to the actor via guerilla.

I'm sure he meant AI, rather than actor. Did any of the suggestions fix the problem?


The reason for the second suggestion is because depending on how you set up your AI they can use different weapons despite using the same exact .biped and .actor_variant.

I'll try to mess with the biped's weapon set but for now I'm also having problems with Sapien not saving my scenario ..and when ever I try to load it up.. the moment AI begin fighting each other Sapien crashes.

Manage to get my AI to use my selected Vanilla weapons but still can't use custom weapons.

I've never seen that one before. At first it looked like that one that happens with gimped unit tags that reference a non existent function. Everything on it is back from 2007-08. It definitely has to do with the combination of AI with custom weapons. Hobbet mentions it can be caused by 'faulty weapons' and probably can be fixed by remaking the tags, and Kirby suggests looking into the weapon's label. I can't even recreate it right now. How the hell did you do that?



Cached page of matooba's errorlist found on invisionfree. Suggests to recreate the encounter tree in sapien.



Nevermind on Kirby's. The weapon label deal had to do with making a second weapon tag work for the guy. That could suggest that the function could be specific to weapons though. What happens when a stock biped uses your custom weapon, or when your custom biped uses a stock weapon? I also worry that Sparky already knows the answer and I'm leading you even more astray.
