Friendly hgrunt Created 14 years ago2010-03-01 09:29:24 UTC by ivanasw

Hello. Is it possible to make hgrunts friendly to player? I need them ignore Gordon, but still fight monsters, so "prisoner" option do not fit here. Any suggestions?

I think you can do this with Spirit, but there's no way to do this otherwise without coding.

Yeah, you'd need to do it as a mod, either spirit (which has a lot of other features that are handy) or some other custom code.

1.5a4 is the latest official build with source code, and 1.8 is the latest offical build.
I'd suggest 1.5a4, however, because 1.8 has ugly random sparks everywhere fsr. 1.6 and 1.7 are made by a different team, and change the gameplay quite a bit, messing around with weapons and such. Plus they broke sitting scientists, which work in 1.5a4.

Thank you. I'll try Spirit. But it's strange why Valve made such decision not to let modders change relations with hgrunts or aliens ;/

P.S. What flag in object properties "pre-disaster" is for?

It gives Scientists and Barneys the lines you hear in the AM labs at the start of the game, ie. Barney would say "Hey, catch me later, I'll buy you a beer!" when you used him, instead of following you. It also changes the questions they ask each other.

use could use the op4 fgd.

it's a pain in the ass to find though.

FGD=/= Code.

I imagine the person who wanted help with this has long since buggered off.
