Available in the store - an evil carnivorous plant (I've made a minor change since approval, so it may take a little while for reapproval).

The script makes provision for an attack and a death sound. You can source your own sounds, or use the ones I use (from www.freesfx.co.uk) called 'Person Bites Into Toasted Tea Cake' for the attack sound and 'monster_ill_or_dying_moan' for the death sound. Sounds need to be in .ogg or .wav format. Add the sounds to your Files\audiobank\misc folder and add the following lines to the evil plant.fpe file -

Never heard of triffids - I was thinking more of Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors (at least in personality, if not appearance - Audrey II was much uglier )

Thanks Wolf. Haven't watched it in years, but I remember 'Feed me Seymour' and Steve Martin's evil dentist.

They seem to have been quite popular in their day, but then faded into obscurity.

Store update - after making a few minor changes, I resubmitted it to the store, but sadly included 2 fpe files instead of 1 (doh!). So I've submitted it again, and assuming that I've missed the very small window of opportunity for approval today (and assuming I haven't made any other errors) it should be in the store tomorrow.

Jackal - getting animated entities to work isn't all that hard - I think the main issue is getting characters to work with the stock ai scripts, and since this has its own script, there's no problem. Also, technically this isn't a character, it's juts an entity that happens to be animated, which probably makes things a bit easier.

In its FPE does it use ischaracter = 1 at all?



I'm very interested in starting work on some "character" models but when it comes to scripting I've had many issues with just getting them to walk or melee attack.

I haven't used ischaracter in the fpe (I think it's 0 by default), so it's just an entity (hence RotateToPlayer works, which wouldn't happen if it was a character). I haven't seen any successful character scripts yet (other than the stock scripts) which is why I'm sticking with simpler, non-characters for the time being. I'm not sure what the advantages of making an entity a character actually are (other than getting it to use waypoints). The plants attack routine is essentially a basic form of melee combat and it works just fine. Once you get within a certain range, the attack animation begins - if you are still within range when the animation reaches a certain point, you take damage.

The model has been approved, and is once again available in the store. As far as using it goes, the attack is fairly slow (it is a plant, after all), and can be dodged once the attack animation has begun, but can be speeded up with scripting commands if you prefer. It would work best placed in large numbers along a path that the player had to traverse slowly, or perhaps a bunch of them guarding a valuable item, with a couple of more mobile baddies or other traps to keep the player within range long enough to be damaged.

Very cool.

I've got something to say - It's better to burn out than fade away.

I'll remodel the head to look more like a venus fly trap and then hide them in the foliage of my overgrown dungeons. The slow attack is just perfect for it being a plant as you said and for having something creep from the side and attack you without being unfair.

Also, your fishes look fricking great in-engine. I just had a chance today to check the 2 I bought out.

Thanks Wolf. Yes, a sneaky dungeon attack to whittle away your health sounds good. The health damage is supposed to be 100, but it seems to deal double damage. Just change the HurtPlayer amount in the script to suit yourself.

Here's an alternate (spotty) texture and a new script, which causes the plant to grow when you shoot it (thanks tomjscott for mentioning the SetEntityHealth function - that was driving me nuts). The maximum scale is set here in the script
, and is easily changeable. Just remember that if it gets too big, the attack animation won't reach down to the player. You also need to make sure that the attackdist variable roughly matches the scale.





EDIT : you'll need to change 'plant.x' in the fpe file to 'evil plant.x'
