Windows How to make 'Monsters' without attack run away instead of approach player?

[Sinth]

Apparently all animals, like deers, approach players just like the dogs..


Below is my Noble Citizen, who is supposed to flee player and not engage. What to change?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Below is the 'Deer' from original Cryingdamson TFS 036:

Try this maybe.

 

[Sinth]

But others that are not hostile also approach


Edit: Hostile or not doesn't seem to matter.

 

[Deepling]

Change target distance to 7 or more

 

[Sinth]

So, they run away if you get 7 squares or closer? So you could set 4 and they just dont stay close... and you are certain of this?

 

[Deepling]

If you will set it distance 4, he will keep distance of 4 sqm.
If you set distance 7, he will keep distance of 7sqm.

 

[Sinth]

Works perfectly! Thank you very much

Strange though that all the deers, rabbits etc in TFS 0.3.6 is set on 1..

 

[Deepling]

No problem
About rabbits and deers it's maybe script or something.

 

[Xikini]

<strategy attack="100" defense="0"/>
change to
<strategy attack="0" defense="100"/>
--------
remove
<attacks>
<attack name="melee" interval="2000" skill="10" attack="2"/>
</attacks>
------------
<flag staticattack="90"/>
change to
<flag staticattack="0"/>

 

[Sinth]

<strategy attack="100" defense="0"/>
change to
<strategy attack="0" defense="100"/>
--------
remove
<attacks>
<attack name="melee" interval="2000" skill="10" attack="2"/>
</attacks>
------------
<flag staticattack="90"/>
change to
<flag staticattack="0"/>

What does that change? What I am also looking for is ofcourse something to make them non-reactive to players, is this it?

w

What about this:

<targetchange interval="2000" chance="20"/>

How would I set this if I want the subject to change target constantly/ or say 50% change every 1 second? Interval 1000 chance 50?

 

[StreamSide]

maybe

<health now="25" max="25"/>
<flags>
<flag runonhealth="25"/>

 

[Sinth]

Just maybe? :/

I think half of my citizens are set to run on their maxhealth but only haft of them are set to range 9.. will take some testing to get this one fixed. But oh so nice it will be, WHEN it is fixed

If it works, thanks!

 

[Sinth]

What I am also looking for is ofcourse something to make a citizen(monster) non-reactive to a players presence, how do I do that? Are there any animals out there that doesn't react to players at all?

 

[sailorv5]

YES, ITS CALLED NPC.
so u can recreate the Wheel if u want.
