Companion "AI"

This is a simple AI of a companion, who follows
you quite accurately though a level.
No nodes required to set.
(script is not quite clean, but rather fast written)

It works on any bsp-level for A6.6, (dont use Models for
bridges or so)

Just use the buildproperties:
//build-values WED: 25,64,0 for narrow and fat
this is required for the movementcode to work correctly

you should also place the player into the level
(action: the_player)

I had to restart the demo two times, before I was able to test it. The companion kept jumping out of the level before.

The ai doesn't seem to be very complex, just follows the player as fast as possible to avoid the need for complex pathfinding. It occurred several times to me while I have been running through the level, that the companion was unable to follow me. Quite nice for simple games though. Maybe you should work longer on your ai to make a really good one

Best conditions to combine invisible blocks for collision in combination with models shadowed by ventilator's lightmapper.

This companion acts like a monkey, always jumping, keeping no distance to me, he even jumps on my head!
Good AI for a little monkey who sits down on my shoulders when he reached me!

Add an animation, licking the face of the player's hero, and you make the player fall off his seat!
