BotSpawn

There's no option right now but the next version will have user-adjustable long range targeting limit.
Not quite aggro-range, but at least they won't fire beyond that setting.

Thanks; I noticed this earlier and was thinking about writing some line-of-sight code, but I think there's been a lot of work on ai senses so I'll check out staging first.
If it's no better, I'll work on something.

 

Awesome because your npc plugin is my favorite. im just editing some lines to work with my other plugins. I wish there was a magical merge between scripts so when you update I can just paste your fixes without having to check your changed lines one by one :'( keep up the good work I love it

 

Ha! So glad I don't maintain custom Vs of plugins anymore. Don't miss it!!
Thank you.

 

I just threw the .cs in and it reloaded fine, 30 +mins later, I'm getting random timer errors: Is that a suicide timer ? (runSuicide)

I have set all my Bots as Murderer- false and they are working beautifully, just got caught in a three bot long range crossfire at military tunnel, They patrol, move around and react to attack or "invasion" of their space as they used to do,
They still wear the kits assigned and game loot, i dont equip with chutes so sorry cant help with that

 

Error while compiling: BotSpawn.cs(1534,25): error CS1061: Type `NPCPlayerApex' does not contain a definition for `utilityAiComponent' and no extension method `utilityAiComponent' of type `NPCPlayerApex' could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

 

Update oxide.^^

Thanks, @Krazy J. I got a fix in for that last night; Will be pushing another update today.
[DOUBLEPOST=1527854495][/DOUBLEPOST]Hey @VinylFresh : I'm looking into your problem.
Strangely, it's not happening on my server.

Taking the airfield, the bots land and most lose their chutes immediately.
Some (the ones who don't hit "terrain") jump around for a few steps until they do, and then they lose their chutes.

I've spawned 10 about 10 times now and none got stuck with chutes. One or two bots couldn't shake their chutes for maybe 10-15 seconds, though,
so I'll sort out better checks and update later.

 

Console getting spammed with this and I updated oxide already

Need to re-download the pluging @WesleyEng_com

 

I got the same. What to do?? - I changed it to murdere. then it works better.... but do they attack? NO!

 

Steenamaroo updated BotSpawn with a new update entry:

1.6.3

[DOUBLEPOST=1527863891][/DOUBLEPOST]

They're not doing it on my server so I'm not sure what the problem is yet.
Update above improves ground checks in general, so it might help, but there's clearly something else going on.

@WesleyEng_com
Are you still having the stuck-chutes issue too?

 

Unfortunately

 

Ok, @WesleyEng_com @VinylFresh @PlayerKnownAsRay

Would you chaps mind PMing me a list of your running plugins?

If any of you have a server where it's feasible to unload all plugins, then load BotSpawn+Kits only and test again, could you do that, please?
If you have high pop and don't want to dick around unloading stuff, don't worry about it.

If any of you have multiple servers, is this problem happening on all of them?

Thanks.

 

List sent. It's really not a big deal. I can live without parachutes

 

Thank you, Sir.

 

PVE days and PVP nights | Rust server - plugin are listed

 

Would have been nice to have a note saying that bot names at monuments would have to be redone. what is the prefix for ? it it in response to request to put "bot" in front of name ? (just curious)
Have no problems with bots (murderer = false) with kits prior to this update , as stated before,

 

It's right there in the update notes.

Exactly so ^^.

 

Got fixed when i used own "kit" - not default

 

Oooooh...I'll look into it now. thanks Ray!!

Update: Pretty sure I've got it. Would you fellas mind confirming?
@WesleyEng_com @VinylFresh @PlayerKnownAsRay

Sorry for all the tagging.
