Believe this to be a challenge for yourself or helping me and others: can anyone make a part of an AI code which can be added to other scripts (such as pace, cover, cautious etc) which will make characters only react (shoot or run) when your weapon is drawn.
This is so that the player can act like a normal civilian until he wants things to get nasty.
Thanks

No. Not until you start the script and have something to show for your work. We're here to discuss aspects of the FPI script system, but not write scripts on demand.....

Those are the rules.....

To my knowledge, there is no way to record/determine if the player has a weapon "drawn" or "holstered". It's been discussed but I don't think resolved.

Oh, and decaf is the way to go.

Best.

Decaf......Huh?

Anyway, you could try checking to see if the 0 button is pressed, as that button put away your current gun, and checking on other number buttons to see if the player pulls out another gun....

no that won't work

try [scancodekeypressed=] (without the []) followed by the number you can get from http://www.barcodeman.com/altek/mule/kbemulator/
The slight problem with that code is that as soon as the weapon is holstered again the character would stop shooting at you which would be... wierd.

Here's a portion of code you can start from:

problem: if you have no weapon in a "weapon slot" and you press the key for that slot, then the character will still attack...any 'remedies'?

Fill up weapon slots, or edit the script for how many weapons the player should have at the time

...nifty.

This won't work properly with the mousewheel, though. The player'd be able to cycle through his/her weapons without triggering an enemy response...

No, the mouse wheel is hard coded into the engine.

A mod is a modification to the FPS Creator source code that can be used to put in your own commands and other things.

ex: efx mod, ply's mod, airmod, etc...

Do a search on mod and see what it gives you.

I think Meteorite had the right idea.

Setup a script that will cause an enemy to attack you only when they are attacked / damaged inflicted upon them.

It might not be as realistic as having them react to a weapon being pointed in their direction but will still be effective and would save you having to compile your own mod. By the way you will need Dark Basic Pro and Dark Lights software from TGC in order to do that.

Perhaps you could edit the 'coward' script so an enemy will initially leg it when you attack them and then attack you when their energy gets low out of desperation and variations of this to give the impression of unique behaviours for each NPC. I'm sure you could do that now there is a script variable to play around with for entity health.

thanks nomad soul, for the advice and telling me how to make a mod, but i want the script to add to my security guards and civilians in my bank so that when my weapon is drawn, the guards attack you and the civilians run or take cover or something like that.

If you made a Mod, here's a quick jist of a simple scripting conditions you can add to the source:

weaponheld=X
TRUE if character is unarmed and X=0
TRUE if character is armed and X=1


Basically check the player's currently held weapon variable for either a 0 or a ..... not 0.

If you decide to Mod the source, you can find a tutorial I made on how to add scripting commands in this board. Shouldn't be too old.

It isn't an extension. You're just replacing the FPSC engine with what you compiled.

If you're smart and make a backup before replacing it, then it isn't dangerous at all. Not like you're messing with important MS Windows registry settings or replacing your PCs CMOS.
