By the by, did you find a way to create the store windows? I copied mine along with the objects. That's why I didn't have alignment problems between the objects and windows. (Except for the window for the practice lock. I put a custom item there. :sly: )
I just added the store window number property to each item I put on the shelf and numbered them consecutively starting at 1. Is there an actual store window object that you add to the room??? I couldn't see one in any of the game maps.
There were some lookpoints near some items but I think they're just so the shop keeper looks at the stock while talking.

Unfortunately, I don't remember what I copied to my store other than the items and I won't see my computer again for a couple months so I can't check. :( Maybe the store windows are automatic to Garretts POV just by teleporting to a Store. It's been months since I made mine and I have a very bad memory since I took that 37,000 volt shock to the head. :cheeky:

I've had the same problem with windows. Have you tried switching to Exact OBB or whatever it is in the static mesh properies? Maybe try Artist Generated. Sorry, I don't have my computer here, so I can't fiddle with it myself or give you the correct terms used in the editor. (I'm using the Force to cruise the forums! :laff: )

I am having trouble with my animation points.
When I look at one of the missions that shipped with the game they had cook arm motions so I tried to add some of my own waving his arm around by the shelves.
Howver when I get to the play anim point property in the animation marker I can't specify an animation name. I can select a Locomotion but not an animation. Is this something that they could do but we cant? :confused:
thx

You need to add the animation property to the PlayAnimPoint actor. Bring up it's properties list (f4) and right-click, then just Add Property: PlayAnimPoint> AnimName...
If you click the use button on the end of the line it'll bring up the SkeletonBrowswer so you can select and preview the animations.
Other than that, you need to link the PlayAnimPoint to a PatrolPoint (with the connect AI path points tool on the left, blue balls), and play with properties till it does what you want.
Lots of things need properties added like that, it's annoying but it's the only way to get things done. And I'm sorry if this comes off as patronizing, I don't mean to be.

Glad you asked, angrypenguin; I had the same problem, and Ziemanskye, your solution fixes it. One note though - on my system, I must have the skeleton browser open/active at the time of hitting the Use button (unlike the schema browser), or nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to make an AI sit?
EDIT: Figured it out, there's a sitting link . . .
What do ya know . . .

I'm testing my mission with different objectives like kill somebody and steal something and it works great. But how can I add an objective so that the mission will end when the player enters a specific room?
I tried and searched but I didn't find any answers on this.
:confused:

Maybe not quite what you want AMN, but place a generic Volume inside the room and give it a script like this :
Quote:
CONDITIONS:
--When linked volumes [MYSELF] are breached by [Category Player]
ACTIONS:
--End Mission [TRUE] successfully
--Reset script conditions and actions
It'll end whatever the current mission is and display the "Are you sure you want to end the mission?" dialogue, followed by any debriefing you have set.
