For what I read on dp_extensions.qc MOVETYPE_FOLLOW should be used for "things" that don't have ai (like decals for bullets and so on) but I found out how to do it. I just duplicated ogre.qc and polish it a bit removing damages and stuff
thanks anyway

Thanks daemonicky! It sure is useful(unfortunately images are missing,nevermind)! But, first of all I'd like to know how an entity (a monster for example) will simply follow the player. I'd like to know if the entity would follow a classname(player) or a target, and with which function(movetarget?). This would help me a lot.

Useless starting another thread for the same problem:
I'm creating a game from scratch and I'm stuck on the A.I
I can't create a simple monster that, once spawned, it searches ALWAYS player (not interested in fighting other monsters) and its only goal is to attack player.
I googled a lot, I read movetogoal function done in C code but the monster stands still (and I think is not the right function because I don't need the monster roams for the level searching the player, it already knows where the player is!), I took a look at ai_charge() function from id (which seems to me the most useful) but the monster is always there, fixed like an idiot, it doesn't move, it doesn't turn...nothing!
Can someone explains to me how start ai fighting from the very basic?
Thanks

any hint guys?
EDIT: I found checkclient() function? Is it useful for what I want to do?

[frag.machine]

checkclient() is useful to coop modes mostly: it cycles between clients, so not all monsters will attack the same player.

Ok, that probably wasn't too helpful ...
