So I have figured out that whenever I spawn someone who attacks my NPC first, they will shoot, but if I spawn my NPC first, then the attacker, they will not attack. My code makes it so that when my NPC is initialized it activates my npc_bullseye, however, shouldn't this last forever, instead of just being for when it is called after creation of enemies?
function ENT:Initialize() -- Called when the entity is spawned, sets parameters
local ent = ( ents.FindByClass("recruitables") )
self:SetModel(modelselect[math.random(1, #modelselect)])
self:SetHealth(100)
self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)
self.loco:SetStepHeight(33)
self.loco:SetJumpHeight(58)
self:AddFlags(FL_CLIENT, FL_NPC, FL_AIMTARGET)
self:SetCollisionBounds( Vector(-10,-10,-10), Vector(10,10,70) )
self.LoseTargetDist = 600 -- How far the enemy has to be before we lose them
self.SearchRadius = 400 -- How far to search for enemies
self.TargetRadius = 500
self.LoseTarget = 700
self.RecruiterDistance = 100000
self.RecruiterRadius = 100000
self.Recruited = false
self.OnCoolDown = false
self.NoRecruiter = false
self.Spawner = self:GetCreator()
self.Shooting = false
self.Talking = false
self.CanFire = false
self.Healing = false
target = ents.Create("npc_bullseye")
target:SetParent(self)
target:SetPos(self:GetPos()+Vector(0,0,20))
target:Spawn()
target:SetHealth(9999999)
target:Activate()
target:SetKeyValue( "health","9999" )
target:SetKeyValue( "spawnflags","256" )
target:SetNotSolid( true )
-- This is where we find our enemies and list them, if they are listed, they will attack. (IK its inefficient...)
for k,v in pairs(ents.FindByClass("npc_*")) do
if ( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_antlionguard")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_combine*")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "*zombie*")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_helicopter")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_manhack")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_metropolice")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_rollermine")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_strider")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_turret*")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_hunter")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "npc_combine_s")) or
( string.find(v:GetClass(), "antlion")) then
v:AddEntityRelationship( target, D_HT, 15 )
end
end
local gun = table.Random(self:GetGuns())
if type(gun) == "table" then
gun = gun[1]
end
self:GiveWeapon(gun)
if self.WeaponData[gun] then
self.Weapon.NPCShoot_Primary = nil
end
end
Another small side note, if anyone knows how to get the damage info for someone, specifically the GetAttacker() that would be great because I want to set the enemy for this NPC to whoever attacks his recruiter. Anyway, thank you in advance for any help!
While putting this in a think function, I tested it, and it crashes my game when someone shoots at him and this error is thrown:
CUtIRBTree overflow
Well you only set the relationship to existing entities when you spawn the NPC. You need to use GM/OnEntityCreated aswell to add a new relationship whenever a new entity is made. Check for the class in that hook and if it matches, make a relationship with all npcs you want. (might need to use a short simple timer delay in that hook for the entity to initialize properly)
How can I call this if it is a gamemode function but I need it in my entity?
