ryg Posted January 6, 2020 I have created an outside area (288 units high) with different height levels (64x64 stairs) and I had hoped for the cacos to attack the player on the stairs above them but they stay on the ground and attack from below but don't rise. Why? 0 Share this post Link to post

Though many source ports change the behaviour of flying enemies to be more 3D so things may differ in some/all of them. I don't think any source port changes this part of monster AI, it'd be too gratuitous. 0 Share this post Link to post
0 Graf Zahl Posted January 6, 2020 They only change height if their horizontal path is blocked. As long as they can approach without changing height, they do. 0 Share this post Link to post
0 ryg Posted January 7, 2020 Will objects like trees also be regarded as blocking or has it to be a change in floor height? 0 Share this post Link to post

0 Gez Posted January 7, 2020 I think there was something about cacos being unable to go lower than their starting altitude, unless pushed by a moving sector. Or was it higher? I forgot the details, but there's an oddity with them. 0 Share this post Link to post
