Weapons drawn - how to change enemy AI behaviour?

[pjakub88]

Hello everyone,

is there possible to make the enemies hostile towards the player when he has baseball bat in his hands? Maybe it could be done via scripting? I have some experience with using DCED2 and BSV6 editors.

Maybe human_anyweaponinhand ?

I don't know who you mean as an enemy, but I think you have to list every enemy whose status you want to set in your script.

I experimented a little and came up with the following:

__________________________________________
dim_act 3
dim_flt 3

findactor 0, "Tommy"

label a

human_getiteminrhand 0,0
if flt[0] = 4,c,b

label b
weather_setparam ON,0
goto a

label c
weather_setparam ON,1
goto a

______________________________________________

Now it starts to rain when he has a baseball bat in his hand, and it
stops, when he put it away.


Of course, you can replace the weather_setparam with something else, for example with act_setstate. But I haven't tried it yet.

Neutral script (not related to any object):
(Don't forget an object with the same name for this object definition script.)
_______________________________________________________
SCRIPTNAME
-------------------------

dim_act 3
dim_flt 3

findactor 0, "Tommy"
findactor 1, "ENEMY 1"
findactor 2, "ENEMY 2"
findactor 3, "....."

label a

human_getiteminrhand 0,0
if flt[0] = 4,c,b

label b
act_setstate 1, inactive
act_setstate 2, inactive
act_setstate 3, inactive
goto a


label c
act_setstate 1, active
act_setstate 2, active
act_setstate 3, active
goto a

__________________________________________________________

Add something like that to an enemy's script:

________________________________

ENEMY 1
--------------------
dim_act 2

findactor 0, "ENEMY 1"
findactor 1, "Tommy"



OTHER STUFF TO SCRIPT THE ENEMY....



act_setstate 0, inactive

enemy_action_fire 1, 100
enemy_setstate 9




OTHER STUFF TO SCRIPT THE ENEMY....

It's not perfect, but something like that should work.

Thanks for all those script examples. I will look into them.

By "enemy" i mean the guards at the harbor in the Mission 18 "Just For Relaxation". By default they won't react when the player has baseball bat in his hands.

EDIT: I tried your script that triggers rain when player uses baseball bat. It didn't work for me - maybe i did something wrong? You made a brand new script or you just added those lines to an existing mission script? It would be easier if we could simply make all the melee weapons treated as firearms by AI, but it might be hardcoded.

I have created a brand new script. It is important, however, that an object can be assigned to the script (with the same name). You must therefore open a mission in DC ED, click on "add a new Object" and then select Object \ Standard Object and name it (eg "Test Script").

Then you have your object. (which does not have to be created in the MWE).
Now create a new script as usual under "Object Definitions" with the same name as your object (test script). Check the connection with a right click on your script "switch to Object Definition" and back with "Switch to Object".

This script does not directly refer to an object. It is controlled by one actor and controls another itself.

Very good!


Maybe you should replace "enemy_action_fire" with "enemy_setstate 9"?
