- Scripting Problem - Created 18 years ago2005-10-05 17:33:34 UTC by Slasher_101

How can I get an HGrunt do a little scripted sequence, and then get him to NOT attack me for the rest of the time ?

Also, I have an idle HGrunt leaning against a wall, I'm behind bars, which they can't see me through, but I can see them. But if I move, the HGrunt stops leaning and looks in my direction.

I need them both to completely ignore me.

• Thanks

Try the "no interaptions" flag!

For the one attacking you, tick the "Prisoner" flag... I think?!

Yeah in the script tick the 'no interaptions' flag to make the script override the grunts AI and in tick the grunt's prisoner flag to disable his AI forever!

Well, they don't attack me anymore, with the prisoner flag, but they still look at me if I move.

Thats why you need the 'no interaptions' flag! The prisoner flag makes them not attack!

I have the interuptions flag on,

I think the problem is that they finish their script, then go back to normal.

Try the 'override AI' flag.(not sure if thats the right name)

Yep, tried that 2 :

NEVER TRIED THIS.
make a brush between you and them.
make the sides you can see textured with "blue"
make it a func_wall
set render mode to texture
render ammount to 255.
If the game alows it should work.
the sides faceing them need to be a texture like "steel" or one with no blue bits

I think that will work. I'm pretty sure that the grunts couldn't see me through my one-way 'mirrors' in the past.

I'll try, but is there no way to make them like, completely 'scripted' so they don't really have AI ?

Do you know what the difference between the "target" and the "target monster" is in a scripted_sequence ?

Target is what it triggers when the sequence is finished.
Target monster is the monster that does the sequence.

Try aiscripted_sequence instead of the scripted_sequence, or try making any invisible alien on the spot he has to look at.
e.g:
monster_zombie/headcrab, or any monster entity with these properties:

render mode: Solid/texture
FX amount: 0
Prisoner Flag: checked

The grunt should keep looking at the zombie, which is invisible for the player for all the time, I think.. You could also add the invisible wall, as killer said. That way, he'll look at the zombie and never notice the player.

Thanks Evilsod, I think the invisible monster thing would work, but I can't use it in this instance, hard 2 explain.

Map it for OpFor? Then you can use monster_human_grunt_ally

Actually just tried it... they face you too, they just don't attack!

Thanks Evilsod, I think the invisible monster thing would work, but I can't use it in this instance, hard 2 explain.

You should really have another look, who you're thanking, dude...

You really should read more into it too.
Look a few posts up, he's thanking me for the target thing he asked!
I pity the fool who steals my praise!

Don't make me mad, fool (grrrr).. You didn't suggest to make an invisible monster, sucka'...
And he's thankin' me for that.. :

LOL! Who cares, we both helped in some way, I didn't do it for the thanks!

Yea you're right..
