Ghosts....

[antstubell]

Can any NPC be a ghost or just the ones that already are ghosts? How can I make an NPC a ghost? Ticking the "Is Ghost" checkbox just isn't working.

Afaik, IsGhost makes the actor immune to damage, and weapons will pass through them, but it doesn't make them see-through. To make them see-though, you must set their alpha to a small number via script. There's also a ghost shader effect that can be applied to give them that eerie green glow.

 

EDIT: Try adding the script "defautGhostScript" to your actor, and auto-fill the Properties. That should work.

Figured it out. I checked Headless Horseman who appears as a ghost and he had no script attached. I attached defaultghostscript to several actors some copied some newly made but nothing, not a ghost of a chance. Eventually I checked Spells for Headless Horseman he had "Ghost Ability" spell and that's what makes an NPC a ghost.

 

Next problem is I have the headless horseman, I have a ghost horse how do I make him get on it? And what markers should I use to set a route for the horse?

Yes, but which script does the the Ghost Ability spell use? :biggrin: You probably didn't set up the properties correctly.

Anyhow, as long as you find something that works for you, then that's good.

 

To make an actor ride a horse...hmm. I think it might be the Packages that control that. I'm not experienced at using packages. Would suggest you start a new topic as this is a completely different problem.
