Just thought Id get a move on and attempt to create a companian NPC with the view of generating groups of flocking NPC's sometime in the future.

So I started from just getting an NPC to follow player and it works wonderfully.

I have equipted an AUM Q and A camera system(74 I think, player_cam) and am currently using a variation of Vadim467's fpsp_player script for my player.

wasd moves, pans.
cur, cul rotates camera.
cup, cud raises and lowers camera.
mouse is 3D directional controller for player.

Was just excited and thought to show off using others code

How ever, would appreciate any tips on advancing 'follow' flight behaviours like adjusting hieght, distance and and direction for random behaviour while following and disengagement when evading predators or resource gathering.

Of course there are lots of to do yet but its not a bad start

All comments welcomed.

Looks interesting I must say.

I possibly could use this for a mini-creature that floats around the player and if they get hit, restores health (eg. Crash Bandicoot's mask like companion).

Cool! go for it....
The camera could be usefull too.

Darn!, it works in dev version but not published sorry...
must be a var that got away, I have to hunt it down, some global thing that interferes badly...

[edit]

Fixed the test level, authoring files this time
