Enemy insists on being friends

[xnd]

I changed the faction to enemy but it keeps my faction. I also changed compassion from 10 to -100 (is this how well they think of me?). I got rid of where it tried to add them to my party.

What do I have to do to make it my enemy? its like duh I changed the faction code....

local m = require("mod.class.NPC").new(self:cloneFull{
no_drops = true, keep_inven_on_death = false,
faction = enemies,
summoner = self, summoner_gain_exp = false,
exp_worth = 1,
summon_time = t.getDuration(self, t),
ai_target = {actor=nil},
ai = "summoned", ai_real = "tactical",
ai_tactic = resolvers.tactic("ranged"), ai_state = { talent_in=1, ally_compassion=-100},
desc = [[The real you... or so ]]..sex..[[ says.]]

image = "talents/cease_to_exist.png",

adding that one line to this talent, the only change made, has made ALL the talents' images just be white squares. I even got rid of this code and reloaded 3 times. "cease_to_exist" just made them all cease to exist. i added it the same way I add images to any talent, looked identical. how do I get my talent images back?

I think the icons will reappear with a new game.
You do not define an icon in the talent definition.

As for your original issue, I don't think you are supposed to have any arguments for cloneFull().
Make all the changes to the actor after its cloned.

1.
yet the original code has the stuff there; i simply changed it from:

local m = require("mod.class.NPC").new(self:cloneFull{
no_drops = true, keep_inven_on_death = false,
faction = self.faction,
summoner = self, summoner_gain_exp=true,
exp_worth = 0,
summon_time = t.getDuration(self, t),
ai_target = {actor=nil},
ai = "summoned", ai_real = "tactical",
ai_tactic = resolvers.tactic("ranged"), ai_state = { talent_in=1, ally_compassion=10},
desc = [[The real you... or so ]]..sex..[[ says.]]

This is orginal xorn code:

newTalent{
name = "Extract Delicious Gem Base",
short_name = "X_GEMS",
type = {"race/xornbase", 2},
image = "talents/extract_gems.png",

this is mine that works:

newTalent{
short_name = "HERE_THEY_COME",
name = "Here They Come",
type = {"race/Chrono_Xorn", 1},
image = "talents/vimsense.png",

among others that work.

but this one has caused something bad or the game just happened to break or get possessed at the same time:

newTalent{
short_name = "NEMESIS_X",
name = "Nemesis Clone",
type = {"race/Chrono_Xorn", 1},
image = "talents/cease_to_exist.png",

its the same thing!

I have tried 5 new games!!!!!! They are all white still and stay that way in all game screen where talents would show them!

[xnd]

i added

m.faction = enemies

if that's the place you referred to, but it did nothing.

[HousePet]

How about m.faction = "enemies"

[xnd]

im gonna try that but i saw elsewhere like in temp hounds without the quotes.

[xnd]

lol well it makes it an enemy with a personal reaction of friendly 100 so enemy still insisting on being friends.

not sure why the quotes worked here yet in other talents I have seen them without the quotes.

i think i have to reinstall the game. my talent images seem permanently gone. programming logic: use talent image that says "cease to exist" and thats what they did.

i dont see lua errors in the log, they just wont load!

[HousePet]

Maybe the other code you looked at was bad?

Have you tried running the game with no addons?

[xnd]

i ccleaned and restarted my computer and that fixed it. now the icons load including for the new talents. but how do I make the clone an enemy? I tried adding some ally comp 0 or -100 lines in m. but they didnt do it or i didnt do it right.

[HousePet]

Should be m:setPersonalReaction(self, -100).

Ally compassion is what stops the AI nuking you when you are friendly.

[xnd]

This did not work here in this part of the code, still friendly:

m:removeAllMOs()
m:setPersonalReaction(self, -100)
m.make_escort = nil
m.on_added_to_level = nil

Still friendly!

and putting it down below also breaks it with an error message:

m.on_takehit = nil
m.faction = "enemies"
m.setPersonalReaction(self, -100)
m.no_inventory_access = true
m.clone_on_hit = nil
m.remove_from_party_on_death = nil

Is the problem that it is a talent set to target where to put the clone? I'd rather have the clone just appear anywhere like evil clone is supposed to but was not even getting to that point yet. it still insists on being a friend or gives error.

[HousePet]

m: not m.

[xnd]

yes, read again, its exactly what I tried first. i even put it in two places. it does nothing.


again:



local sex = game.player.female and "she" or "he"
local m = require("mod.class.NPC").new(self:cloneFull{
no_drops = true, keep_inven_on_death = false,
faction = enemies,
summoner = self, summoner_gain_exp = false,
exp_worth = 1,
summon_time = t.getDuration(self, t),
ai_target = {actor=nil},
ai = "summoned", ai_real = "tactical",
ai_tactic = resolvers.tactic("ranged"), ai_state = { talent_in=1, ally_compassion=-100},
desc = [[The real you... or so ]]..sex..[[ says.]]
})
m:removeAllMOs()
m:setPersonalReaction(self, -100)
m.make_escort = nil
m.on_added_to_level = nil

m.energy.value = 0
m.player = nil
m.puuid = nil
m.max_life = m.max_life
m.life = util.bound(m.life, 0, m.max_life)
m.forceLevelup = function() end
m.die = nil
m.on_die = nil
m.on_acquire_target = nil
m.seen_by = nil
m.can_talk = nil
m.on_takehit = nil
m.faction = "enemies"
m:setPersonalReaction(self, -100)
m.no_inventory_access = true
m.clone_on_hit = nil
m.remove_from_party_on_death = nil


---

i just did that over again, new code and new game, and pasted it here. enemy is still friendly.

[HousePet]

Maybe try a self:setPersonalReaction(m, -100) as well?
