GUI mode
Give a name for your agent type (i.e. testRobot).
Select the skeleton and geo files you exported previously. The "Skeleton File" will point to your skeleton definition file, the "Geo Path" to your proxy geo file and the "Skin Path" to your skinned geo file.
Set the state machine to "robotStateMachine" or select it from the drop down menu on the right side of the field.
You can edit the Agent Type scale multiplier if you want, but it's not necessary for this tutorial.
Your GUI should look like the one in the picture.
Click on the "Register" button or press CTRL+S.
Your agent type is now ready to be used.
| Note |
|---|
The Agent Type scale multiplier will affect all agents of this type. If you want to change the scale of a specific agent you should use the agent scale Behaviour Module. |
Script mode
In case you selected the script mode, you should edit your script so it looks like the following.
Then hit CTRL+S or click on the "Register" button.
