bandits a17

[Hexster]

Do any of the mods have any bandits working in a17? Ive managed to get them all but working the only thing I cant get them to do is wander or move at all they will attack anything that gets close.

[KhaineGB]

No.

 

Apparently there's no animations tied to the controller for UMA Survivors/Bandits.

 

UMA zombies still work.

[stallionsden]

Yeh bandits are dead Caput lol removed the uma for them when they updated the ai

[SlicksGirl]

AND MODDERS EVERYWHERE WEPT IN HORRER... THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE SADDEST CHANGE..

 

Bring back our npc's..

[Hexster]

So did they just remove the walk animation cause it has idle,attack,swing animations still working?

[Hexster]

Really the only animations that there not doing is walking and death

[Darkstardragon]

Yea, im not doing anything this alpha cause they took out the movement code for npcs. Was the only part of modding that interested me. Myself, khaine, beatkidz and others have looked at it and its just not happening unless someone codes it back into the dll.

[Taylorsd]

This will get them to move around, but I got other errors im working on afterwards though. Play with it maybe we can combine testing

 

<property name="AvatarController" value="AvatarLocalPlayerController"/>

I will try using that with my one see if it works as I have no errors in my bandits other then they dont move lol or attack

[stallionsden]

They move but dont carry weapons all they do is run at ya lol

[Hexster]

I have a melee bandit walking and attacking killing zombies now but I got some errors to work out

Can you upload your code at all please

[stallionsden]

Got the bandits attacking the zs but no weapons

[Taylorsd]

Same problem im trying to get around, in initial Alpha 17 they carried weapons, but B208 made them lose them

[Hexster]

ya im at the same point I got ranged bandits roaming , shooting and killing zombies with a invisable gun if I can get the gun look to show up

the gun entity has to be armed to score damage one would think

Custom entities configured as bandits work well in A17.

Yea, we know this but we want uma npcs, not custom ones.

Use the range guy for a test the issues are a error from the controllers and invisable weapon which is caused by the player controller but he will roam ,kill , ect alittle to good

 

 

 

note this is a test model

 

 

The error from the controller only seems to happen when coming into range but gose away if ur right beside the bandit

 

The zombie01 controller has way better reaction time then the uma in this setup

 

If I had to guess the playercontroller is setting a handitem by default and its blocking or not letting the weapon mesh load in cause if u kill him the weapon appears

Great work to get this far, will def look at it.

[Darkstardragon]

So, i havent been able to spawn them in yet, getting nres. Yes, i uncommented the xmls in archetype and in entityclass lol. I did change the bandit sledge to the meleetoolsledge because there is no bandit sledge item. Still nres when trying to spawn em in.

[Hexster]

you may need to set there factions in the npc.xml

 

 

<factions>

<faction name="none">

<relationship name="*" value="neutral"/>

</faction>

<faction name="animals">

<relationship name="*" value="neutral"/>

</faction>

<faction name="undead">

<relationship name="bandit2" value="hate"/>

<relationship name="trader" value="neutral"/>

<relationship name="*" value="hate"/>

</faction>

<faction name="bandit2">

<relationship name="*" value="hate"/>

</faction>

<faction name="whiteriver">

<relationship name="*" value="neutral"/>

<relationship name="undead" value="hate"/>

<relationship name="bandit2" value="hate"/>

</faction>

<faction name="duke">

<relationship name="*" value="neutral"/>

<relationship name="whiteriver" value="dislike"/>

<relationship name="undead" value="hate"/>

<relationship name="bandit2" value="hate"/>

</faction>

<faction name="trader">

<relationship name="*" value="neutral"/>

<relationship name="bandit2" value="hate"/>

<relationship name="undead" value="hate"/>

</faction>

</factions>

 

I did put the range bandit in to the groups all zombies to spawn them in , if I can get these to work the rest of the way they ll have to be nerfed way to deadly

 

 

If I could get this 1 error to go away id put them in my game right now I don't really care about the invisible gun its there u just cant see it anyways ull be runnin or dead probally never even notice it

 

on a side note if u don't set a archtype they ll randomize there looks

[Darkstardragon]

k, that did it, nice work hex. The melee guy works great other than the weapon not showing up and the brief nre. The ranged guy isnt shooting, at zombies or me. How come you have 2 avatar controllers in there? Are they both working together, and if so then why not put in the uma or npc controller too. Gonna try it.

[Hexster]

Ive only been able to get it to work the way its setup atm it seem that its inheriting the movement from the playercontroller and the actions from the other controller I used the zombiecontroller cause it has better reations the others.Did u put the code in for the range ai?

So I see yall are gettin NPCs going again, I been trying too. I want to make a friendly survivor, but I couldnt get them to do anything. I got their weapon to appear but gave up when they wouldnt fight or move.

 

I know this is a lot to ask, but can I get the entityclass xml? I got an archetype I want to use, but what about NPCID? I dont need a whole new xml just for the survivor, I can change the bandit to my liking. I just want the one thats working, please

 

 

EDIT: I am making a melee survivor
