Roaming NPCs 0.1.3

Is there any way to differentiate them from actual players? 

Running a PVE server - and I have these NPCs, how will Players know they are NPCs and not Players?

You can set custom name and single appearance, make them use only specific weapons, tools and etc.

hi,

Just added the plugin to my sv

i noticed that npc go in water, can you do something to make them to do not go in water?

is possible to add in config number of bots to spawn for each category,

is possibe to make a category "training" that bots just run around, crouch etc, for practice

Thanks!

Hi,

I love the plugin already, I'm just doing some testing now.

There's an NPC with a bow and I dropped an AK an he's picked it up, but he's still shooting with the bow.. it would be nice if they would pick the better weapon

Also, when I kill an NPC that's wearing clothes, their clothes disappear. it would be nice if the clothes stay on the body

Thanks for your hard work and I look forward to potential improvements, but even as it stands, it's a great plugin! thanks

 

Oh, the NPC's also don't loot my body, but they will pickup any weapons I drop near them.. I believe they are supposed to loot bodies with these settings:

"Allow to loot corpses?": true,

"Allow to harvest corpses?": true,

But they don't unfortunately.. is this a bug?

Hi,

After further testing, I've noticed they don't med themselves up, even though they have syringes on them (I've seen them using bandages though)

Also, I mentioned the clothes disappear that they are wearing.. this also applies to weapons they are using at the time.

Hope you can fix these issues

Thanks

Sorry for spamming.. but a few (hopefully) last things.. here's my config 

"Items for fights": {

"Use ammo?": false,

"List of items (in priority order)": [

{

"Allow to create item if it is not in inventory?": true,

"Allow to give item when respawning?": false,

"Item": {

"Item shortname or ID": "bow.hunting",

"Item skin": 0

}

},

{

"Allow to create item if it is not in inventory?": true,

"Allow to give item when respawning?": false,

"Item": {

"Item shortname or ID": "rifle.ak",

"Item skin": 0

}

},

{

"Allow to create item if it is not in inventory?": true,

"Allow to give item when respawning?": false,

"Item": {

"Item shortname or ID": "smg.mp5",

"Item skin": 0

}

}

],

-----

I assume the allow to create item if not in inventory means they can craft after they find the loot to make the item?

whereas they just spawn with any of them when re spawning anyway. 

----

When the NPC has mp5 or AK, he's just one popping instead of spraying.. would be nice to have them spray or have a config to control that

-----


I'm wondering, what do these settings do?

"Brain timer tick (0.01 - 1)": 0.1,

"Controls timer tick (0.01 - 1)": 0.5,

-----

And as another person mentioned, if you could make them not swim as I find they get in the water and just swim under water until they despawn.

----

If you could fix these issues, it would be an amazing plugin! but for now I find it a bit buggy for the reasons I mentioned

I'd be more than happy to have a screen share with you, if that helps.


Kind Regards
 

can the npc have a progressive way to change weapons, lets say the first day uses a bow and arrow after 6 or 12 hrs the npc will have a revolver

It's not a crafting item, it's a spawn

Bots use weapons and tools from the configuration, if he has this weapon setup, he will use it. To unlock the clothing container, there is a setting in the configuration.

It also depends on the configured items for treatment...

There is no such possibility to correctly exclude passage through the ocean, but there is a setting for damage received from water. All configured NPCs are individual, and cannot reproduce...

After testing, it was found that it is not possible to set costumes and weapons for reborn NPCs.

We are still looking into it, for now you can only set damage rate from water to 0

Will be added in next update

You can just create a separate bot for it with disabled functionality, he will roam around the map without doing anything

You can setup it in config. The available weapons list for bot in config is based on priority. Just add AK on top and he will use it instead of bow

You can also setup it in config. Disable lock container
"Wear items (on respawn)": { "Lock container? (true - after death loot won't drop)": true,

Looking into it

"Brain timer tick (0.01 - 1)": 0.1,

"Controls timer tick (0.01 - 1)": 0.5,

They affect server's performance and bot's logic. It's best not to change them unless you're experiencing problems.

Still working on it too, many things are based on default Rust bots so there is a lot of work to be made

He will just spawn with this item, no crafting involved

You need to disable lock for belt container too, same way as with wear container, but we haven't added this setting yet, will be added in next update.

Have you added syringes to supported items for this bot in the config?

Very nice idea, we'll probably implement it

could you add an option to make them run the roads only ?

You can add as many NPCs as you want. We'll soon add an option to spawn many NPCs of same preset instead of one.

/rnpc stashvis - shows all RoamingNPC's stashes

/rnpc killall - kills all RoamingNPC's bots

/rnpc tp - teleports all RoamingNPC's bots to you

/rnpc totp - teleports you to closest RoamingNPC bot
