I would like the enemy's to be able open doors . Is this possible yet ?

I think Lee said this could now be possible with the new AI and a little scripting ...
He hasn't showed us how yet .... Maybe he will do it with the new AI twitch's once he gets it finished ...

I've modified a bit ai_soldier.lua file just for video purpose, in your case you should rename it, so don't overwrite the original one.



Attach above script to the enemies you want being able to open the door.

Attach the script attached below to the door.

I've use chain door, masked soldier, and it works, video tomorrow, not time to upload now.
In the video you'll can notice I'm far away from the door, just want to be sure, it is not opening becaiuse the player distance, but because the soldier proximity.

Nice, thanks 3com! Haven't tried it yet but I know it will be useful!

Glad you like Jerry.

In FPSC this was possible with a single command. But I believe what that did was every step the NPC's would take they would send an activate signal to in front of them. I'm assuming it works differently in Game Guru?

Not sure how it work in FPSC, I really start with Reloaded.
But yes you are right, as you can notice in soldier.lua above, about isNPC[e] = 1, that key tell to the door, I'm NPC, therefore not the player, anyway is their password to go thru.
Fortunatelly workarounds working fine in GG.

I imagine behind the scenes FPSC is doing a similar thing to what 3com has posted, it may even use ray casting instead as you mention. It's just that FPSC probably had it coded already so you only had to use one command. With Game Guru these things have yet to be added, so you have to do it yourself. We don't have ray casting here so a distance check is about as good as it gets. Probably faster as well than having raycasts on all NPC's and we know speed is still a concern for many.

You could even add other numbers to the " isNPC[e] = 1 " part to have some NPC's only have keys for certain doors. You just need to add those options in the door code in a similar fashion.
