little AI glitch

[DavidW]

Sorry if you already know about this, but I couldn't find it mentioned.

 

We're finally trying out Gavin - very cool so far, but there's a slight glitch in the AI of the thugs we ran into in a house in western Beregost. The thugs have the block

 

IF

Global("<something>","GLOBAL",1)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

Enemy()

END

 

This actually causes them to freeze - it keeps triggering, they keep resetting as Enemy(), and they don't get to the melee bit. I think you probably want

 

IF

Global("<something>","GLOBAL",1)

!Allegiance(Myself,ENEMY)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

Enemy()

END

 

(Didn't stop our 1st level party being wiped out by the cleric, though - guess we'll find a better time to come back in due course...)

Ah. Thanks. Looking at what you posted, I can see that I should probably also include a check variable, or it will loop.

 

Scripts. Not my strong suit.

 

Aren't you glad you let me use the cleric script?

[DavidW]

Ah. Thanks. Looking at what you posted, I can see that I should probably also include a check variable, or it will loop.

 

No, you don't need to - once you've been through once, they count as ENEMY, so the Allegiance check doesn't come up true.

 

(Basically you can do it my way, via the !Allegiance trick, or you can set a check variable as you suggest. Either works fine.)

[berelinde]

Ah, thanks for clarifying that!

 

I've added it to the to do list. I've currently sent the mod out for cleaning... er, I mean, cmorgan has the working copy for crossplatform conversion, so I'll make those changes as soon as I get it back.

[cmorgan]

?? Did you clean this already, b?

 

I can't find the relevant blocks...

It's in B!THUGx on my (i.e., the current public download) version, I think.

[berelinde]

Will check when I get it all back.

 

If Bertram kicked the snot out of DavidW's level one party, though, I'm guessing his script, at least, worked.

[cmorgan]

You did both:

 

/* Moving Thug1 */
IF
 Global("B!Thug1Exists","GLOBAL",1)
 Global("B!Thug1Move","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
 RESPONSE #100
MoveBetweenAreas("FW3337",[380.325],0)
SetGlobal("B!Thug1Move","GLOBAL",1)
END

/* Combat */
IF
 !Allegiance(Myself,ENEMY)
 Global("B!ThugAttack","LOCALS",0)
 OR(2)
Global("B!QuestAttack1Floor","GLOBAL",1)
AttackedBy([ANYONE],DEFAULT)
THEN
 RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("B!ThugAttack","LOCALS",1)
Enemy()
END

IF
 Allegiance(Myself,ENEMY)
 See(NearestEnemyOf()) 
THEN
 RESPONSE #100
Attack(NearestEnemyOf())
END

[berelinde]

Ah, thanks! That's a relief!

 

Now that I think about it, I seem to remember Yovanneth being involved in that solution somehow. I'll have to check the forums again before updating the docs.

 

But thanks to both CM and DW for looking into it!
