AI Relationships

[kraizer793]

Quick and (hopefully) simple question...

I was working on a simple script to make NPC's have preffered targets among players.

Let's say I have a variable like .KillDeathRatio on a player or something. Is it possible to make the NPC's want to shoot the player with the highest KillDeathRatio more than other players with lower KDRations?

I thought about using [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=NPC.AddEntityRelationship"]this[/URL] function and making the NPC's hate players, and making higher priority players the ones with higher .KilldeathRatio. Yet, Does priority work like that? If a priority 1 player is next to a priority 99 player, will the NPC's prefer to shoot the 99 player?

I really don't understand all that much about AI and NPC's a this point, am still working on though, so any insight on the matter is appreciated.

I like this idea. I think it should be called "AI Priority System".

What's your code at the moment?

how about you test the difference between a priority 1 and 99? most likely, a 99 will attract the fire.

I'd test it in SP but seeing as how I'm the only player, I can't test ift effectively. Also citizens have lower health than players do, thus they would die quicker regardless.

I think this is doing the trick, I spawned and didn't kill anything, and spawned a few rebels. Then I laid down some combine and I didn't attract much fire. then I turned off AI and just mowed down about 20 of them and started and I got a LOT more fire. Westpoint:

[lua]
function GM:OnEntityCreated(ent)
if ent:IsNPC() then
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
local disp = ent:Disposition(v)
if (disp == 1 || disp == 2) then
local priority = math.Clamp((v.kdr*2), 1, 99)
ent:AddEntityRelationship(v, disp, priority)
end
end
end
end
[/lua]

Use [lua]CODE[/ lua] for lua code.
