I searched the forums but could not find the right answer.

I want a guard patrol some waypoints,
AMBIENT_SYSTEM_STATE 
is set to 1,
AMBIENT_MOVE_PATTERN 
is set to 2,
AMBIENT_MOVE_PREFIX
i don't understand really but it is set to ap_old_templar (the creature tag is "old_templar").
AMBIENT_ANIM_PATTERN
is set to 5 (guard patroling)
all parameters like the wiki suggested.

Problem is that he walks to the first waypoint and stops there never moving to the next. the waypoints are named ap_old_templar_01 - ap_old_templar_15.

The first test I would try is to remove the AMBIENT_ANIM_PATTERN variable and follow your templar as he patrols. This ensures that all the waypoints can be found. If this doesn't work either you haven't exported the area since adding/retagging the waypoints or your naming convention is messed up.

The second test I would try is to set the AMBIENT_ANIM_PATTERN to 35 (rummaging_1). This is the one I use for testing because I know it works with move whereas some of the others seem a bit flaky (which means I haven't tested them all thoroughly enough yet). Now your templar should walk to each waypoint, kneel, rummage about, stand and continue the patrol.

If both these tests work I would set the AMBIENT_ANIM_PATTERN back to 5 again. If this still doesn't work then the issue lies with this pattern.

Incidentally you don't need to set the AMBIENT_MOVE_PREFIX as the default ap_<tag> fits the naming convention you used on the waypoints, i.e. ap_<tag>_<number>. The ambient system replaces the <tag>placeholder with the creature's actual tag a runtime so by explicitly setting the variable to ap_old_templar you are simply doing what the system does automatically.

it was the AMBIENT_ANIM_PATTERN 5 that was the problem and i changed the prefix.
rummaging_1 is nice

I have to look at the list of patterns again in search for something like "looking around in search for something" that works with the rest

Edit:
I found what is perfect:
pattern 15 "Shopper"
He looks on the ground bending his back than stands for a moment and then looks down again.
the middle part could be interpreted as him having a bad back and that he can't bend down for too long... perfect!

Now i have to rearrange my waypoints so that he has something to look at.

I also changed the AMBIENT_SYSTEM_STATE to 19 like someone from bioware suggested in another topic somewhere. It causes the animation to start at level load and it never stops...
