Place the rollupbar - AI - tagpoint on the map of the place you want to teleport to and change the AI tagpoints name to beampoint. Place a rollupbar  - Entitys - triggers - proximity trigger on the map, this is where you will walk to be teleported. Scroll to settings bar on the proximity trigger and find create flowgraph as above.

Research Assignment :

Given this task, i have researched and look through alot of tutorials in youtube, crysis site and i'm sure everyone knows you can Google every single tutorial with just word search. At the begining, I only knew Crysis as game and never knew about the sandbox editor and flowgraphs and the ability to animate how you desire. Since i have been exposed to crysis editor, theres so much things you can do with it. The ability to change AI face expression using the face editor, able to make AI talk or create dialogs, moving path to path, changing AI behavior, creating maps and levels and changing the environment. 

As a beginner, sometimes there is some basic things that we might miss out. For example the ability to change the tree leaves into autumn like color, means we don't have to always create an environment where everything is either sandy or just green grass and tress leaves. And talk about explosion in the first assignment, we can even time the explosion instead of exploding right after you start the game mode. 

I find there is alot of videos on AI because it has the ability to do more but sometimes people might forget that the environment/background plays a role too. So i am going to make a simple video on changing the color of the tree leaves and how to time an explosion. Previous assignment 1, i was having trouble with filming the explosions as it might be too fast or too slow. I hope this will help beginners like me and hope this basic skills will help in evolving into much advance skills out there.
