Can we enable a friendly NPC to attack enemies and protect the player in a level?

I am thinking about it for my AI work - it's not top of the essentials list, but it is one of my nice to have items!

P.S. It's not top because the extra LUA commands I am adding will allow anyone who can script the ability to add ally behavior

Sounds good,there's a lot of good coders about.

I'm just looking forward to seeing the " One Video " with AI running around and using steps to the second level

what about ai open doors or using auto doors

Sound pretty nice!


Me too. It may change many things around here.

The DarkAI commands we had for FPI in FPSC were quite good. I liked that we were able to assign teams as enemies, friends or neutral with others. I was able to create a lot of fun action packed stages with those commands back in the day. I even used it to create animals hunting prey.

It looks like Teabone and I are the only ones who find this feature as an "urgent must have yesterday" priority. However, I did vote for to have more Lua commands as the top priority. Right now it is after taking a look at the current result. As long as it can be programmed. Yes, Teabone, I remember "the day" and am still vacillating between finishing my game in FPSC or GG. I personally don't have a lot of time (living time that is) to wait for what I had been using in FPSC. Especially since it is so difficult to transfer all of those NPCs to GG. Even animated non-human entities are difficult for me. Sorry for being a kvetch and having a pity party but I really wish I could at least make up my mind. I love all of the improvements of GG over FPSC and if that's all I would need then I could possibly go with Black Ice Mod. However, RPGmod that I had made let's me have all the RPG stuff I need and all the FP shooter I need. I even have commands in RPGmod that allows me to ask a question of an NPC by using an input field. This let's me also put in passwords and answer questions. But, I'm sure--especially when all the Lua commands are included--I could do all of this.

I wouldn't say that I also would love to see that back. I remember that in FPSC and also in Fps X10 . A lot of things that where in Fps X10 I see in Game Guru. I hope to see a lot of them back in time.
