Instructions to setup a game with one NPC.

1. cp -r tutorial.base gameBots
2. Set up paths:
   1. in gameBots/main.cs, change tutorial.base to gameBots
   2. in the top level Torque main.cs, change defaultGame to "gameBots"
3. in the server directory, cp botRandomOne.cs to bot.cs
4. add exec("./bot.cs"); to server/game.cs
5. replace onMisssionLoaded and onMissionEnded in server/game.cs with the code:

   function onMissionLoaded()
   {
   // Called by loadMission() once the mission is finished loading.
   
   new ScriptObject(AIManager){};
   MissionCleanup.add(AIManager);
   AIManager.think();
   }
   
   function onMissionEnded()
   {
   // Called by endMission(), right before the mission is destroyed
   AIManager.delete() ;
   }
   
   

Next Steps

Now make multiple bots. The botRandomMany.cs file spawns off multiple bots.

Next get a bot to follow a predefined path. The botAlongPath.cs file assumes you create a path using the Torque editor GUI. The tutorial linked to above explains the GUI usage steps very well.

Finally, add terrain and collision detection between your player and the bots.
