I bought DBPro and am making my first game - exciting.

However, I was wondering if there were scripts/specific characters that will only be hostile towards the character if the player attacks it first. For example, it would just stand around, but if the player attacks/shoots it or w/e, it will become hostile. Thanks!

Keep in mind that all functions/scripts/etc. in programming are 100% "made up" by someone and you can make stuff up too.

You could make a variable called EnemyState for example, and so while EnemyState=0 the the enemy is calm, but if attacked the enemy goes into attack mode so you could then say EnemyState=1 for attacking. If the enemy is killed, you could say that EnemyState=2 means the enemy is dead and motionless.

As for making the character actually do the things that the variables call for, you will need to come up with your own AI system or get a plugin.

Of course it's possible. But it's entirely up to you to program it.

Nuke, we really need to know what stage you are at with your development in order to help. You could get some very confusing and meaningless answers otherwise.

Brief plan:
1. You make a function to make NPS with certain number move to target and attack.
2. You make a check in player attack function if the NPS is friendly; and if yes then change it's state to hostile.
3. You should make an array to store all NPS's states (NPS position, life, hostile or not, target coordinates, etc).
