BotReSpawn 1.5.1

Hi Steenamaroo
Is there a configuration that allows NPCs to defend themselves against turrets? I mean, the turrets can fire at them, but they can counterattack by destroying the turrets with missiles (assuming the missiles are included in the kit).
I've been testing various configurations and I can get them to fire at the turrets. I think I saw something about drones... I'm not sure.

Hey ! 
Any plans to add Deep Sea Island & Ghost Ships ? 

Hey Steen, Feb wipe/patch I noticed that the players Turrets cant harm the APC_Kill (bradley bots). WeaponTrap Safe is [False]. we didn't change any settings it was suddenly immune to player turrets. Please Advice.

I have a question about Oil Rigs and Cargo -

I don't understand why there isn't a default profile for these? 

I see one thing for Oil Rig (small), but I have to enable it, then set up spawn points for it. Adding to this, does that mean I would have to constantly make new spawn points every wipe for Oil?

No, Stark.

OilRig isn't a default profile or, at least, isn't permanently enabled,
because there's no navmesh there and, as such, it requires BotReSpawn npcs there to be stationary.

The option to enable it exists so that you can make custom spawn points once and have them automatically reused every wipe,
because some people wanted that.

Cargo profile doesn't exist because there's no navmesh there and it's a moving location.
All of BotReSpawn's spawning is based on a known fixed point and known rotation. Cargo doesn't have that.

I'm just curious. I'm only asking. 

How is it that Betternpc have these profiles then?

Working perfectly here.
Tested with user-placed Autoturret and APC_Kill profile,
using current public version, just to be sure.

Toggling WeaponTrap_Safe worked as expected, making the turret ignore, or fire at, the npc.
With ignore false, the autoturret fired at, and killed, the npc.

Maybe look at other plugins which might have been updated - Anything governing zones, rules, pve, pvp, etc.

So I did noticed that the Turrets were nerfed bigtime, but only on botrepawn npcs not on zombie horde npcs.  I even updated the TruePVE list of NPC's just in case that's the issue in the beginning. 

      "members": "ch47scientists.entity, BradleyAPC, CustomScientistNpc, ScarecrowNPC, HumanNPC, NPCPlayer, ScientistNPC, scientistnpc_roam, TunnelDweller, SimpleShark, UnderwaterDweller, Zombie, ZombieNPC, scarecrow_dungeon, Paratrooper, scarecrow, SnakeHazard",

They are dying now (slowly) but the further they are from the turret 20 meters or so less damage. Not the same for Zombie Horde which dies quickly. I know it's different npc's used. But it's odd....

"Bot_Take_Damage_Percent" I didn't see that in Global nor config?

It's there, in the 'Spawn' section, per profile.

Yup it is there and it's set at 100. Funny coz we didn't change anything this month. Suddenly i don't think turrets are hurting them. only botrespawn npcs.

Hi,

Is it possible to create a custom profile that would have the bots never respawn that will remain persistent through server restarts?

I am putting in a map with custom monuments that can be built on. I'd like for the player to not have to deal with killing bots in their house every day. 

Thanks

I thought I might be asking a bit more than possible. Regardless, I love the plugin. Changed from another npc plugin and the difference is ridiculous. Thanks for the quick response.

The good kind, I hope!
Just ask, if anything else comes up.

 

Well, better doesn't always mean better if that makes any sense. 

By the way. Just noticed Botrespawn is not supposed to be Carbon compatible. Running perfectly on my carbon servers. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Thanks for the info.
There shouldn't be any problem as I believe Carbon is meant to be compatible with all oxide plugins,
and any time there have been issues they've updated to address them.

I didn't tick the box simply because I use oxide when writing and testing so I can't personally stand over Carbon compatibility.

Seems just fine here, Thanks again for the great plugin.

Yes it works fine. 
I've stress tested the hell out of a server with hundreds active highly customised BotReSpawn npcs, profiles, calls and hooks firing everywhere in Carbon, performs perfectly imo.
Plus its been runing in a live Carbon setting for couple months, without issue   

I forgot to mention, as an alternative you could probably use something like TimedExecute to spawn or remove npcs, using the console commands.

See the available commands on the description page,
under console commands.
Can enable / disable certain profiles
One example of many, there are several sueful small plugins to trigger commands.
