Enemy ignores you unless shot?

[Baker]

Anyway to have a monster ignore you unless shot via QuakeC?

[Spike]

notarget.

That made it sink in. Since I don't QuakeC much I can be a little "slow".

For anyone else else:

Added in defs.qc: float .peaceful; < ---- added that to end

Added in ai.qc @ FindTarget()

Code: Select all

   if (client == self.enemy)
      return FALSE;

   if (self.peaceful) // <---------------------- ADDED
      return FALSE; // <---------------------- ADDED

   if (client.flags & FL_NOTARGET)
      return FALSE;

And then in the entity:

{
"classname" "monster_army"
"origin" "0 576 24"
"angle" "0"
"peaceful" "1" // <------------------------- added
}

Such a grunt minds own business unless you attack him.

you can edit the entity within QuakeC in soldier.qc

Code: Select all

void() monster_army =
{   
...
   self.peaceful = TRUE;


no need for .ent support or modified maps.

OTOH, maybe he wants only SOME of the soldiers to ignore the player.
Both methods work, but with different results.

You forgot to code the "unless you attack him" part.

IIRC I've coded this as a feature in the Cheats Menu of my JoyMenu mod.

in combat.qc, T_Damage

Code: Select all

   if ( (self.flags & FL_MONSTER) && attacker != world)
   {
      if (self.classname == "monster_army")
         self.peaceful = FALSE;



I was trying to think of a way to do this in the opposite way, where like if the player picks up a badge and soldiers would ignore the player if they had IT_BADGE for instance.

IT_BADGE would have similarities to invisibility power up?

I don't think so. Sounds more like a way to scare monsters.
