Creature scripts and waypoints

[Xaiya]

I've been trying to edit the guard.txt creature script so that when the creature reaches its waypoint, a message in the text area appears.

 

However, I have tried over and over again, and I can't seem to get it to play the message at the right time.

 

I searched for a script that might have this, but I haven't found one.

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

Have you tried something like:

Code:

if(dist_to_waypoint(ME,waypointNum) < someDist){    //print message}

in the START_STATE, where waypointNum is the number of the relevant waypoint and someDist is some small distance like 1 or 2?

(It's good to make things work in the case tht the creature can get close to a waypoint but can't reach it exactly, like if someone else is already standing on it.)
