I am trying the guards system and I have some difficulty to get work propperly.

If I set the region with "region.guarded = 1" and region flags: "region_flag_guarded", I get npcs calling guards when they see me (GM off) and thouse guards attack me at the instant. All ok at this point.
But when I outrun them and I come back, thouse guards spawned and which is lingering for 60 minutes (set in sphere.ini), they don´t attack me even if i am a criminal.
Some "normal npc" (not guard) have to see me to call guards and begin the process again.

There is some condition for lingering guards to automatically attack criminal players? I thought that were their default behaviour, and if I can avoid script some lines it would be better use the default system than a custom one.

Anyone have experienced anything like this? Thank you. Smile

PD: Guards have set NPC=brain_guard, of course.

ON=@NPCSeeNewPlayer
IF (<SRC.FLAGS>&STATF_CRIMINAL)
ATTACK <SRC>
ENDIF

Yes, I know that trigger. But it would be better if I could use the default system if there is one for this matter. Tongue

AI has had some changes. Will add it to the To Do list we are all working on. Thanks for the input. Soon as base packs are done, I will be back in source as well. Right now, a few of us are working in tandem to get everything faster, better, and more customized, but sticking to standards (new ones we decided on).

Xun and I are already, I think, at 36 things on a list and a bug list growing from recent commits. Roberpot and others are trying to clean source with Xun. Trying to get basepacks done and done right for users. Doing everything we can at the moment to get the community back where it should be (Though learning the new coding structures might cause you all a headache, once we are about 70% through base pack... I will open repository in one area for people to add in backwards compatability... the changes I have made are very dramatic, but they speed up sphere so much that it would be silly to stick to methods used for the past 14+ years).

Thank you for all efforts you are doing.

I can make a system myself, but I wanted to know if it was some default behaviour for brain_guard in the core.
If I remember right, brain_guard checked for criminals in 056b even if they were just lingering.

Do you know if brain_guard has some default behaviour, or is it better to stick with brain_human and customs scripts?

BrainGuard does have some custom behaviors if I remember right. Just best to add in a small event on them.

Code:

On=@NPCLookAtChar

If (<Src.Flags> &StatF_Criminal)

 Tele <Src.P>

 Attack <Src.UID>

 Return

EndIf

Or something to this fashion.
