DarthDie Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 This thread is for ideas that you guys would like me(or someone else) to add to NPCS...so far I have made stormtroopers duck when their enemy fires....and I would like to get some more ideas to try and add. It doesnt necessary have to be about stormtroopers...but I would like it to be at least around gun totin' NPCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Damn this could prove to be fun, well I'd love to have them run away from me when I run at swinging my saber them, or make them get knocked down when they fall from a great height. Also make them aim a bit less ******* accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wytchking Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Perhaps make them work better in squads or teams with proper formations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 @Maxstate: 1. Good idea...thats on my todo list now 2. make them get knocked down when they fall down high? 3. Alrighty. @Wytchking: I hope to in the end make them work in teams(squads w/e) with formations...but dont know when I will know enough todo that...just think of the fun if they worked in squads(and they were smart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The current NPC behavior for large falls is to crater and die. I'm not sure we need a intermediate behavior for medium distances. As for running away from attacking jedi, I'd make sure there's a moral check instead of 100% occurance. I know there's already a moral check for running away so maybe you could just modify that behavior a bit. It might be easiest to make it so that gunner NPC's moral falls faster than normal when their buddies get killed by jedi attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillhouse222 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I think it would be really cool, if when you were using force speed and you run into a storm trooper... he falls over like getting hit in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hmm..dunno what do you guys think? I think it sounds fun *Evil smilie here*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 DD, That would involve altering the NPC_touch (or touch_NPC) function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Well I would have prolly done if you were like...(estimated) 10 away from them and they had force speed . But i'll look into that...im sure my code will be better that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah, touch is only called it the players actually touched each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Anybody know anything about Navigation routing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 We would need the new Force speed though, I'm not gonna use it just to know them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShaman Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yes a new burst speed which progressively drains force. Not 50 or 10, but like 1 every 1/10 second or so, according to the level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 I think that force speed should continue to drain force... you keep moving with force speed and i think it should continue to drain then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillhouse222 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 what about some better hand to hand combat syles? like kicks and flips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 ?You mean make stormtroopers be able todo melee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wytchking Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 How about making them seek cover when they have low health and perhaps make them search for you if they see a dead body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 First one...good idea i'll put it on my todo list...second one, I dont understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillhouse222 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I think he means... if you kill a storm trooper... and another storm trooper sees the dead body... he puts eveyone on search mod... like metal gear solid would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Ok...but only if they dont see you already right? But good idea...on todo list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wytchking Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 DarthDie, is there any chance you could improve the AI of the bots as well while your improving the NPCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 The NPC's and bots are 2 different things...so no not while improving the NPCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 DarthDie, is there any chance you could improve the AI of the bots as well while your improving the NPCs What kind of improvements? *The bots are more my department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wytchking Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 What kind of improvements? Currently the bots constantly attack fake (I think thats right) and never kick Never use guns or force powers (as I have already said in a different thread) and their bot routing is fairly pathetic and very predictable with with the bots using only a few of the many routes through even the basic maps (though I was going to try and help correct that over my half term in a couple of days if my laptop holds together long enough) As for futher ideas for the NPCs perhaps make some of the bounty hunter NPCs, for example, have a chance of running wjen you draw your lightsaber (alluding back to Kyle's comments in your initial force training) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Not a bad idea...i'll need to check out the bounty hunter NPC(s) first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
