NPC: thieves

[Shoob]

not sure :/

locations:
- any/all? (maybe not the old forest, but they *could* be there too)

already in:
- cutpurse (name might be changed)
- rogue
- thief
- bandit
- bandit lord
- assassin

to be added:
- master thief?
- grand master thief?

I am not sure what the type/subtype should be.

discuss below.

[darkgod]

They probably wont use stealth very well, activating and desactivating it randomly, Imust make the AI a tad smarter to not deactivate talents

T_STEALTH not T_Stealth BTW

Dont give it T_STUN which is for monsters, you can give them humanoid talents juste like a player rogue.
Oh and give them 2 weapons

[darkgod]

as for type/subtype:
type="humanoid", subtype="race"

so humanoid/elf, humanoid/human, ...

[Shoob]

heh... I knew something was wrong... couldnt find it though :/ thanks

so making it have 2 weapons would be

Code: Select all

	equipment = resolvers.equip{ {type="weapon", subtype="dagger"}, {type="weapon", subtype="dagger"} },

right?

and should I halve the damage but then make their physspeed=0.5 to make it seem like they are attacking twice?

[edit] did the above if you didnt notice.. will work on adding talents now.

[darkgod]

Yes taht makes 2 daggers, and it intelligently autowields them.

Idont undertsand why you want to make them faster though? they will naturally hit with both weapons just like the player.
(and the combat={} field is useless for npcs with weapons in hand).

You can check the log when it generates a level to see if the npc gets its equipment.

[Shoob]

ok... thanks... hmmm...

question then...

when they are leveled do they automatically increase their talents?

or should I do that with resolvers.mbonus(x,y) (or whatever it is)

how does that work, the first number is what it is at lvl 50 (around there), what is the second number?

[darkgod]

No they dont up their talents, I think it would be too much. you should hardcode them for now.

mbonus(X, Y)

Y is a static part, so absically it looks like:
result = Y + randAt50(X)

Code: Select all

[darkgod]

You should grant most of them at least one point in Lethality so that they use CUN instead of STR for damage and i'll setup a "rogue" autolevel_scheme for them

[darkgod]

Changed them to use rogue autolevel scheme
