NPCs not fighting back? - Arathil - 10-01-2016 04:19 PM
I have some NPC guards in a city with a very simple script that fires when they see a flagged criminal player.
Essentially:
ON=@NPCSeeNewPlayer
IF (<SRC.FLAGS>&STATF_CRIMINAL)
ATTACK <SRC.UID>
SAY=Meet your fate, criminal!
...
...
...
It seems to fire correctly, You see a *Guard is attacking Criminal* emote, and the guard gets into war mode, but the NPC doesn't actually start attacking and wanders away.
If the Criminal makes an effort to attack the guard and hits them, then it will fight back as it should. I cannot figure out for the life of me why this is happening. Any ideas?

I found an problem where guards NPCs already placed on world are not attacking criminal/murderer chars nearby
but I already fixed it on latest build, try using it:

RE: NPCs not fighting back? - x77x - 10-06-2016 09:16 PM
but if hes using the above, i doesnt have a guard brain =P
mine looks like this
Code:
[events e_army_soldier]
ON=@NPCLookAtChar//TO INTERACT WITH NPCS
IF (<SRC.TAG0.MILITARY>)
IF !(<SRC.TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>==<TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>)
ATTACK <SRC>
ELIF (<SRC.FLAGS>&statf_criminal) || (<SRC.KILLS> >= 3 ) || (<SRC.KARMA> <= -2000 )//ATTACK MILITARY CRIMINALS
Say Beat it military criminal!
ATTACK <SRC>
ELIF (<SRC.MEMORYFINDTYPE.0400.LINK> > 040004010)//ATTACK every PLAYER made guild
ATTACK <SRC>
ENDIF
ELSEIF (<SRC.FLAGS>&statf_criminal) || (<SRC.KILLS> >= 3 ) || (<SRC.KARMA> <= -2000 )//ATTACK CIVILIAN CRIMINALS
Say Beat it civilian criminal!
ATTACK <SRC>
ENDIF
ON=@NotoSend//2 ALLY 5 ENEMY 6 RED
IF (<SRC.TAG0.MILITARY>)
IF !(<SRC.TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>==<TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>)
//IF !<GUILD>
ARGN1=5
ELIF (<SRC.TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>==<TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>)
//ELIF <GUILD>
ARGN1=2
ENDIF
ENDIF
ON=@GetHit
IF (<SRC.TAG0.MILITARY>)
IF (<SRC.TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>==<TAG0.ARMYNUMBER>)
src.criminal 1
ENDIF

Did you ever figure this out because I'm having a similar issue.
Code:
ON=@NPCSeeNewPlayer
IF (<SRC.FLAGS>&statf_criminal) || (<SRC.KILLS> >= 5 )
Say Criminals are not allowed here!
ATTACK <SRC.UID>They go into war mode, they say "Criminals arent allowed" then they start walking around.

I think it makes more sense use 'brain_guard' (which already attack criminal/murderers nearby) instead use another custom brain with @NPCSeeNewPlayer -> ATTACK
just set brain_guard on NPC and use @NPCSeeNewPlayer -> return 1 if you want skip the internal check (eg: don't attack if outside region X, don't attack targets that doesn't have TAG.LOL, etc)

The problem is that neither ATTACKER.ADD or ATTACK reliably cause an NPC to attack another NPC anymore. This has made pretty much all NPC fight scripts useless. All my faction AI is broken.

No. I explained in the other thread. NPCs should attack when ordered by script regardless.
ATTACK does not work, this is a bug.
Changing karma is a crude workaround people should have stopped using years ago. We want this user controlable, not relying on the hard code to allow a few predetermined behavoir types.
