i have a problem with my ai's gravity. he seems to be walking,running in the ground. i can never see his toes. everything works in my code except i dont know why he wont walk/run on the ground instead of in it. what the code does is lets the ai walk on a path, when i come close he gets off the path and attacks me. if i run away he runs back onto the path and so on
here is the code below. can anyone see the problem
