Companion npc that follows you (gs1)

[Prozac]

Just for fun, here is a little triggeraction example I made today, in a companion npc that follows you around (yes i know followplayer exists but ... this teaches how to do slightly more than that).

When you play the level, press D and the companion will walk up to you. You can pick up the companion (like you would a bush), throw them, then they get back up and walk right back to you again.

Feel free to make it do more stuff if you like, then share your modifications here.

ug sorry .. please move to code gallery .. thats what i meant to do

unless you want to do any npc scripting in the level editor offline ... then it works just fine where gs2 forces you to purchase an account to use it as gs2 only works online. It's like saying cobol shouldn't be used anymore ... it still works and can do many things, but there are newer ways of doing things that others prefer.

it's not a matter of should and shouldn't, gs1 and gs2 both work - therefore it is a matter of personal preference.

You've obviously already got a Classic account to be posting here, and I'd bet it's lifetime because of your join time. You can sign up for the Testbed Server, where you can try out GS2.

GS1 is a very poor language by just about any standard, and is very slow compared to GS2.

You really should try to pick up GS2, you will like it when you get used to it.

I would like to make some gs2 stuff again, I have made gui windows before, particles etc even a q menu weapons system replacement in gs2. but after almost 10 years of gs1 it brings me happy memories

yes I do have a classic/lifetime account .... so .... how do i sign up for this testbed server? to be able to code in gs2 without having to pay anymore money sounds like a good thing

Tigairius is his forum account; Tig is the short version of that.

Who's Tig?

I'm kidding. ...or am I?

GS2 is far easier to learn than people make out, as well. You've got GS1 there, so you get the basics by way of rules when using certain functions, so GS2 shouldn't be too hard for you to pick up at all.
