I guess that would make sense as FPS for Sauer has monsters...

Cypress wrote:So, is it usable as a script in RPG mode?

a) Does it have any connection to r_ai command in MCO?
b) Any idea how r_ai works in MCO?

I looked it up and I couldn't find that, but I'd assume you'd be able to use something similar (maybe the r_ai in MCO) for PRG AI.

The "to do" for Sandbox RPG is,
* game logic
** characters patrolling the world
** scripted events. such as on_approach, on_hit, on_drop, on_death, etc
*** set rpgactor and rpgselected aliases for the above for scripts
*** implement cubescript to engine hooks, such as r_distance
*** implement script functions, such as trigger, die, respawn, etc
*** implement r_get functions for retrieving specific values, or many values
*** Implement r_mod functions, for applying a delta to various stats and values
*** Implement group and spawn ids for simplifying scripts (respectively defined in definition and spawn ent)

And some AI:
* AI
** Adapt quin's
*** needs to respect friendliness towards others
*** needs to attack back if attacked by a friendly
*** needs to help friends in distress
** analytical
*** retreats on low health or very strong opponents
*** fights to the bitter end
*** tries to equip things, ie try to avoid fighting unarmed unless they'd perform better unarmed
*** some greedier fellows, chase after trinkets and loot?
*** factions?

So they are working on it, I believe some form of a working AI will be available in the next release!
And I don't know about r_ai from MCO, sorry

DOH!

why did I type 'engine'?

hehe! I don't know why

Why Captain?

So... is it universal?
E.g: Can I use the fpsgame command in rpggame?

Besides that, how does r_X commands work? ( X = anything )
Do you need to add something like ICOMMAND beforehand?

Sorry if its difficult to understand, I just can't seem to phrase it

No... I don't believe so.

There are similarities, but some things are different. I don't know how to put it either, but Venima told me he's better at FPS coding, than RPG coding.

No, see r_interact and things like that don't need an ICOMMAND. Simply because the engine already knows it's being commanded to do something.

Hmm... I see.
So are there any list for commands that is engine-related?

The funny thing is that MCO understands r_ai.

Otherwise, r_ai can't seem to affect PAS 2.5.

I'll take some time to go through the engine folder to find anything interesting

Thanks for the tip!

MCO is pretty much custom code, so that'd be the reason why. PAS has a certain code that it need's to stick too. (I believe )

maybe its because I'm ancient and am getting senile?

Any list for those certain codes for PAS 2.5? =D

Besides, while digging through the rpg config for MCO, I found this confusing



What does the $arg1 stand for?

It stands for something previously stated as something else.

As in this $arg 1 = rc/blue

But the way MCO is coded just requires them to use $arg 1 every time they want a Blue RC. Is there any other example?
