NPC use grenade launchers 1.0 for 1.5.2 addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (2024)

"Also as a small bonus - NPCs can panic (a behavior pattern not used in the original, in which the NPC, instead of attacking the enemy, screams and runs away as far as possible), this behavior is more typical for newbies\rookies who can be afraid of bandits, bloodsuckers, etc., veterans and masters are not afraid of anyone or anything."

Straight must-have mod

Этот мод все еще тестируется, спасибо за ваши отзывы, но просьба написать, поменялось ли ведение боя у НПС. Когда сделаю еще одну версию - учту ваши замечания.

This mod is still being tested, thanks for your feedback, but please write if the NPC combat has changed. When I will make another version, I will create it, taking your opinions too.

NPCs already use rpgs and grenade launchers, even underbarrel ones. Although you have to manually switch to the underbarrel grenade launcher yourself and give them it. Their aim sucks like and they only manage to fire the grenades like 10ft.

What would be nice is if they could automatically switch between grenades and bullets and maybe have better aim.

I have the NPCs launching fine in CoC.
The difference between the two are Anomaly broke up the utils into three different scripts.
Well... that my issue. I haven't got back to it yet.

Look at stage 4 launch. This is the launch stage. You are referencing
"st.charged = rx_ai.save_var(npc,"gl_charged",false)" this script is not in the game data.

There is no self.st.charged so, it will not fire. That's why players are arming the npcs launchers.

There are errors in the log pertaining to the scripts included. ff.script is not loading due to syntax error.
so the scheme does not exist.
rx_gl.script also has syntax errors.
Trying to help!

I uploaded my attempt so you can look at it...it may help. It includes some backups of different things I was trying...ran out of enthusiasm at the time. I got rid of the circle crash in CoC and went from there.

Anyone is most welcome to try!
Drive.google.com

Edit: the "rx_gl - 2019 GunMod" that script works in CoC.

Thank you a lot! To be honest, I dont have files of CoC, so I used some scripts from original mod for CoP, and trying to adapt it.

rx_ff is not necessary file, but it was in Anomaly resources too. Thats a scheme to prevent NPC firing if there is alliaces on fire line.

I deactivated the friendly fire function in the GL script. I was reducing conditions to fix my vector issue. In the gl script;
--if (_G.schemes["rx_ff"]) then
-- temp.action[evid_gl_reload]:add_precondition(world_property(rx_ff.evaid,false))
--end

I also removed is wounded condition.

Thank you for your help, its very important. Its sad to say, but in Anomaly 1.5.2 your script makes game crashing. Here is an error.

FATAL ERROR

I changed a two wrong references to file alu_gl.get_vertex to correct alun_utils.get_vertex, but its still keep crashing with same error.

Can you be so kind and see, if you can prevent this from happening in Anomaly 1.5.2, when you will have some free time?

sorry, forgot a script download version 2

missing; alu_gl.script

Drive.google.com

Look in the console log when an npc has a gl.
You should see stages being written

Edit: the backups of rx_gl.script do not need the alu_gl.script.
I added that script to isolate the get vertex to experiment.
Actually I'm going back to the oldest backup script and removing the alu_gl.

From memory for this to work "function action_launch_grenade:execute()"
Stages 0-4 must work.
Found target
Create the test shell
Check victim (launch position)
Aim
Launch

Make sure all stages print to log so you can follow the scheme to completion and check the error log to make sure your scripts are loading. Syntax mistake will prevent loading.

You need to make sure it is first creating a test shell.
In your binders for configuring NPC acti configure_actions

This stuff would be at the top of your script. The binders setups and preconditions at the bottom.
evid_gl_fire = 18801
evid_gl_reload = evid_gl_fire+1
actid_gl_fire = evid_gl_fire
actid_gl_reload = evid_gl_reload

Helping you gave me some incite on mine. I'll post back when I overcome the issue. BTW no ctds.

My issue is; the target NPC is not accessible, so cannot get a vertex.

Mine is not crashing. In the log it is stating it cannot find a valid vertex, so npc is not considered accessible. Therefore no launch!

That was my problem prior when I was working on it. No CTDs.
Edit: I'm going to adapt ur script and see if I can get past that error

in base.ltx in weapons add the RX_GL stuff.

[gl_test_shell_ammo_vog-25]:gl_test_shell
visual = grenadier\ammo_vog-25.ogf
[gl_test_shell_ammo_vog-25p]:gl_test_shell
visual = grenadier\ammo_vog-25p.ogf
[gl_test_shell_ammo_m209]:gl_test_shell
visual = grenadier\ammo_m209.ogf

;--Added for RX_GL-----------------------------------------------------
[gl_test_shell_ammo_vog-25_bad]:gl_test_shell

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you link me the Rulix stuff you are porting...please

Just tried to do this. It did nothing, game is still crashing with same log. I will try to do one little thing now...

Yes, a link, one minute... But because of my stupidity I am first was using mod for original CoP.

Playground.ru

Okay, my test was a failure. I commented out those string -local vid = alun_utils.get_vertex(self.st.target,math.random(3,5)), and next string is now self.target_point = self.st.target:position()

I believe, it was a strings to fire at covered enemy, but I am not sure.

Game doesnt crashing anymore, BUT NPC now doing everything that he can and every time they cancel launching grenades, according to log. Every time its looking like that:

evl[Никита Гнилой]:shell ammo_m209
launch[Никита Гнилой]:action
launch[Никита Гнилой]:stage 0
launch[Никита Гнилой]:action
launch[Никита Гнилой]:stage 1
cancel[Никита Гнилой]
launch[Никита Гнилой]:finalize action_launch_grenade
Time continual is:26450

Do you have any ideas how to fix that? Maybe we can chat in Discord to make everything faster?

They are cancelling because the the ammo is absent, and they are not charging the GL. Tie function will then self cancel.
I changed the function to charge the launcher regardless, and it just goes to infinity without firing.

Check your log for ~ STACK TRACEBACK:
You may find a reason.

I changed this from self.target to
local vid = npc:center()

I think both are problems, is the NPC with the launcher is not finalizing due to targeting, so NPC will not charge launcher if no valid target.
I disabled FF, smart covers, is_wounded, still no launch. I think it goes back to get_vector. Something is missing for Anomaly to find the NPC's target.

Out of time for today...sorry.
One more thing. Your port requires rx_ai.script functions. The script you are using is looking for rx_ai a lot.

ASSERTX is needed it's in RX_addons
