NPC that attacks an Object, possible?

Remove all ads!

I was up to make a training room a bit more "live" ,but I have not found a way to make a NPC {fighter with weapon} ,to attack a Combat Dummy close to him, I tryed making the dummy Hostile {faction} and the Fighter Hostile to hostiles.. but it doesnt work,maybe there is need for a simple script to be put somewhere? Thanx in advance for any suggestion!

 

Create a custom creature, and set its appearance as "combat dummy". Make it hostile and immobile, and create a custom item giving it damage immunity to everything. Clear all the scripts for it too, and make the attacker hostile to hostile. That should work.

 

Hey Alvin ,I tryed it but looks like I can only give creatures apparence to creatures, so i cant make a goblin looks like a combat dummy or a chest etc,maybe I'm missing something ? Btw I took a look to the script menu and found this :
-------------------------------------------
void ActionAttack(object oAttackee, int bPassive=FALSE)
-------------------------------------------
oPlaceable
-------------------------------------------

My combat dummy tag is CombatDummy1 , and the NPC which should attack tag is DrowFighter1 ... maybe with your skills you can work on a script Alvin! I made some tryes but you know I'm noob, cant compile my tryes

 

I really should have thought of that - the easy option... I got confused with attacker and attackee...

Put at the bottom of the OnSpawn script for the attacker:

object oDummy = GetObjectByTag("CombatDummy1");
ActionAttack (oDummy);

Perhaps the ability to change a creature's appearance to a combat dummy is in a patch. I'm sure it's been there for a while, though.

 

Woot woot,gonna try the script Alvin,I'll look for this patch too ,Thx a bunch m8!!

edit: The script compiled succesfully, but the attacker doesn't attack the dummy ,strange!

It may be that the ActionAttack script is only useful for one attack. This could be solved by, rather than putting this in the OnSpawn script, put it in the OnHeartbeat script. However, as this is run every six seconds, it can slow down the game if there are many scripts running in this way. It would be best to make a creature with the Combat Dummy appearance, if you have that working.

 

You could always open up the Prologue in the Toolset at look at the scripts for the fighter guys in the fighter training area. All you'd have to do is modify the blueprint IDs.

Isn't there a continuous attack function somewhere?

 

Okay I found out the apparence option for NPC@Dummy, let's try this out!

edit: great,with a bit of faction editing I can do a lot of funny things
