problem with SET CHAR OBJECTIVE

Post by Shazdeh »

I was trying to create a mission where you had to pick someone up and drive him around the city so he could kill his victims. So first you have to pick up a car, goto desired location and sound the horn so he know who you are and he will get in the car. Problem is that when I sound the horn, he scares and run away! I set the char objective to get in the car but it seems that the game changes it. (to FLEE_ON_FOOT_TILL_SAFE) he scares and run but when he goes out of the screen, if you dont sound the horn again will get in the car.
I tried set bravery of the char but it didn't work.
How can I force him to get in the car?

Can you paste script?

Firstly you should set a good behavior to him
eg:

Code: Select all

army1 = CREATE_CHAR ( 197.5 , 153.8 , 2.0  )  2  180  [b]GUARD_AGAINST_PLAYER[/b] END
Read: http://projectcerbera.com/gta/2/tutorials/character-ai

And add line above:

Code: Select all

SET_CHAR_THREAT_REACTION ( army1 , [b]REACT_AS_NORMAL[/b] )

Thanks! i haven't tried it yet but I will.
In fact I lost my mission script file and that's why I didn't paste the code here.

Can I force all cars to drive crazy? You see, when green peds steal a car and drive it, if you are in their way they just keep going but normal peds don't. Can I make all cars to be like this?

you can also try to make a group (see page 96 - Frequently Asked Questions - in GTA2 Scripting.doc) when player is sounding horn (IF (IS_CHAR_PRESSING_HORN_ONSCREEN (playername) or sthg like this) and set the char threat reaction (SET_CHAR_THREAT_REACTION (charname, REACT_AS_NORMAL) ), as Razor said.

try to remake the mission and post the code here then we can help more :)

About making drivers get crazy like car thieves, im sure its not possible
You just lost the game.

It worked! Thanks!

here's the code I used to test it:

Code: Select all

PLAYER_PED player = (44.0, 102.0, 2.0) 27 0

OBJ_DATA testphone = (46.0 , 102.0 , 2.0 ) 0 phone 
FORWARD answer_phone_1:
THREAD_TRIGGER thread_phone_1 = THREAD_WAIT_FOR_ANSWER_PHONE ( player , testphone , answer_phone_1: )

CHAR_DATA bastard1

answer_phone_1:

bastard1 = CREATE_CHAR ( 30.0 , 91.0 ) 10  160  GUARD_AGAINST_PLAYER  END
SET_CHAR_THREAT_REACTION ( bastard1 , REACT_AS_NORMAL )

RETURN

GUARD_AGAINST_PLAYER is the same as the simple GUARD, but attacks the player. but as you set the objective of the AI Char, it doesnt attack you

I was playing around with THREAT_SEARCH and THREAD_REACTION and they were awesome! These command works fine when character is on foot, but don't work when char has a car.

Code: Select all

tank1 = CREATE_CAR (28.0  , 122.0 )  -1 90 TANK END
bastard1  =  CREATE_CHAR_INSIDE_CAR  ( tank1  ) 4  GUARD  END
SET_CHAR_THREAT_SEARCH ( bastard1 , AREA)
SET_CHAR_THREAT_REACTION  (  bastard1  , REACT_AS_NORMAL ) 
The tank just move and ignores me!
Remember a mission in level 3 that there were some crazy tanks in the city and you should destroy them? Those tanks
drove in the city and when they spotted you, they fired. How can I have the same occupation?
One last thing! The tank in the code above drives really fast. Have any idea why?

Take a look at bil.mis (uncompiled Industrial District script, look for it at http://gtamp.com/gta2 . I dont remember for what gang is this job, but look for the mission file bil_<firstgangletter><easy/medium/hard first letter><1/2/3>.mis ) and try to find this part, then find the chars commands

To fix the tank super speed, do:

Code: Select all

IF (IS_CHARACTER_IN_CAR (charname , tank1) )
SET_CHAR_MAX_DRIVESPEED (charname , 100)
ENDIF
then the char drives at the max speed of the tank when player drives it (100 blocks per minute)
You just lost the game.

You mean the bil.mis file that comes with "gta2script"? This file has problem: I can't compile it... Or is there another source code?

Thanks for max speed, I'll check it out.

You don't have to compile bil.mis and bil\*.mis to copy code from it. It won't compile with mispad but it compiles with the official compiler.

You might just have to put a tank_driver in a tank instead of some other type of ped. You also have to tell them to attack from vehicle.

Here's some old Tank Attack script I wrote. I haven't tested it.

Thanks! So, to actually attack the player they must have an objective. Problem solved.
I had a really fun time playing Sektor's script. Did you ever finished it and make a full map out of it?

I never finished it. It was made for a level based on Atari Battlezone (green wireframe buildings/obstacles on a black background). The author only sent a video of the map and not the actual map. The script didn't work on that map since it had no roads and the AI can't chase you in a vehicle without roads.
