It looks like the combine soldier is trying to run TASK_GET_PATH_TO_ENEMY_LKP, which generates a path to the enemy's last known position. This task is failing, however, because it cant build a route to that position, which sets the COND_ENEMY_UNREACHABLE condition, causing the TASK_GET_PATH_TO_ENEMY_LKP to fail.
Assuming that, in the game, it looks like the soldier should be able to find a path to the enemy's LKP, then you probably want to debug why that path generation is failing.

I am thinking it has something to do with the the way the AI is setting up its Schedule or Task state and not that its an animation problem directly. Below is a snippet of condump that lists whats happening in the process. I am now trying to figure out why it is that the AI for combine_s is having problems with the way this is defining the Schedule state... I cant seem to pick where its going wrong..Any help welcome. Look @ the condum below operator_handleanimevent --This is the Animation state of the combine_s while I am hidden behind a breakable model. Also I have a few of the following errors and was wondering if any you coders out there might have dealt with these in setting up AI? Its a condition of some sort that not been met? maybe its my own player model? Maybe the activity is not set up right? I cant really see which area it might be.
