general information

• The xml code on this page is based on onisplit v0.9.61.0
• BINACJBOPatrol Path.oni is level specific. (It can be found in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/levelX_Final.dat)
• A path can have at most 64 points.

Corrupting BSL code in patrolscripts

I suspect that instantly played BSL code breaks patrol paths.

example:

patrolscript0001 contains a sleep command and patrolscript0002 will be played.

But if you remove the sleep command the patrol path will break.

(This was tested in level 1 SP1 with A_t48 and his patrol_48.) --paradox-01 (talk) 17:47, 10 November 2012 (CET)

XML code - patrolscript points:

<Points>
   <ScriptId ScriptId="1" />
   <ScriptId ScriptId="2" />
   <ScriptId ScriptId="3" />
</Points>

BSL code:

func patrolscript0001
{
	dmsg "1"
	chr_animate 0 KONOKOpowerup
	sleep 1
}
func patrolscript0002
{
	dmsg "2"
}
func patrolscript0003
{
	dmsg "3"
}

BSL support

• ai2_showpaths = 1
• ai2_dopath ai_name path_name

file structure

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Oni>
   <Objects>
           [...]
   </Objects>
</Oni>

[...] means at least one patrol block. Paste all a patrol data into there (this includes <PATR Id="..."> and </PATR> tag).

example

       <PATR Id="8283">
