How to make an vehicle to follow a path, and then when he "see" us, he stop and start shooting against us?

ANY Vehicle

I believe scripting is the only way, it's the way that Halo uses to move vehicles and such.

nope. scripting has something to do with it, but the vehicles are actually moved either by animations (pelican, dropship), or ai drivers.

you could do this without scripting, just us a command list...

CE is the way to go with this. There's no way I can think of doing this with the tools available on PC. Unless you wanted it to go in a straight line...you could mess around with the slow-down speed and have it go until an AI takes over for it and drives it at you, but that's a really cheap version of what you want

I just realised I'm in the presense of greatness. haha. Thanks for the plugins Phenom, what do you fill your free time with now that you don't do plugins anymore?

command lists. And use scripts to make them more smarterer....

Command lists. Ce shouldn't be a problem.

Command lists SUCK. If you would be kind to notice bungie only used command lists for cutscenes, and basic AI movement. Vehicles need firing points (as all AI do if they should be good). Also some vehicles can not be driven so you have to use animations.

Also - scripts dont make ai smarter. They just give it more varibles, they dont think or anything. They are still stupid as they are when made, scripts can only realy be used to affect player based on ai. For scripts to effect ai they need to use command lists, which make AI stupider.
