New Era Baddies - Work in Progress

For a while I've been trying to create the smartest baddies Era has ever seen-- something that could effectively simulate player reactions and styles. These baddies, in which I titled "smartbaddy", have a wide range of player-like responses and actions.

Below are the current variables implemented with an explanation to each.

PHP Code:


		
			
  //Basic baddy stuff       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  this.baddyMustDie2Continue = true;                                                         //Does the baddy have to die to continue into any rooms? (true/false)

  this.baddyCanAlert = false;                                                                //The baddy can alert the other baddies in the level (true/false)

  this.baddyDeathMessages = {"DRATS", "Ow!"};                                                //Random selection of messages the baddy says upon death

  this.baddyAlertMessages = {"I see you!", "Spotted!"};                                      //Random selection of messages the baddy says upon contact

  this.baddyMode = "projectile";                                                             //-- "projectile" or "melee"

  this.baddyRespawnSecs = 60;                                                                //Time for baddy to respawn

  this.baddySpeed = 0.39;                                                                    //Baddy run speed

  this.baddyRadius = 14;                                                                     //Distance it takes for baddy to see you

  this.baddyReflexTime = 4;                                                                  //Increase to make the baddy react to movements slower (MUST BE AN INTEGER)

  this.baddyMaxHp = 140;                                                                     //Maximum HP

  this.baddyHp = 140;                                                                        //Start HP

  this.baddyDefaultDir = 2;                                                                  // 0 = up, 1 = left, 2 = down, 3 = right

  this.baddyIdleGani = "era_deagle-idle";

  this.baddyWalkGani = "era_deagle-walk";

  this.baddyDefaultGani = "sit";                                                             //The gani shown before combat



  //Baddy melee control      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  this.baddyMeleeSpeed = 0.78;                                                               //How fast their melee hits

  this.baddyMeleeFreeze = 0.3;                                                               //Freeze time of melee

  this.baddyMeleeDamage = 5;                                                                 //Amount of melee damage done

  this.baddyMeleeAni = "era_knife_stab1";



  //Baddy projectile control ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  this.baddyMaxProjectileDist = 12;                                                          //Distance the baddy tries to stay at when shooting at a player

  this.baddyProjectileSpeed = 1.54;                                                          //Speed of their projectile weapon

  this.baddyProjectileFreeze = 0.34;                                                         //Freeze of projectile weapon

  this.baddyProjectileDamage = 25;                                                           //Projectile damage

  this.baddyProjectileSpread = 0.05;                                                         //Projectile weapon's spread

  this.baddyProjectileXModifier = {0, -0.8, 0, 2};                                           //Sets the projectile's X offset {up, left, down, right}

  this.baddyProjectileYModifier = {-0.8, -0.5, 0.5, 0};                                      //Sets the projectile's Y offset {up, left, down, right}

  this.baddyProjectileAni = "era_deagle-fire";

EXAMPLE (LOW QUAL):

Very impressive Hach! :D

These guys are pretty smart fellas.
I'd rather have these guys than 80% of Era.

Nice job so far Hachi. I remember when you started this back then (: Make sure to test them for bugs/exploits, and try to optimize them as good as you can, so they don't eat that much cpu/memory.

Could have done without the music D: I didn't realise that my volume was up as much as it was and hit play and it blared like crazy and scared the crap out of me :(

Same here, lol

Impressive baddies though.

See if you can get them to dodge bullets.
that would be really impressive.

Very Nice, can't wait to see them in-game.

It's possible, but the most reliable method is really resource intensive (scanning the level npc array on a loop looking for projectiles).
Zone has them and I think Stefan said that each one might use up to 5 percent of the era server's cpu.
Since Era shares a server with other playerworlds that already hog cpu clock cycles there isn't a lot of room for things like that.
(To put "5 percent" into perspective, at any time the most resource intensive script on Era is usually taking up less than 1 percent of the cpu. Sometimes explosions will jump to 2-3 percent temporarily if people are setting off a LOT of p4s at once, but usually your computer will freeze/crash from client lag before you can create enough explosions to cause server lag).

I'm pretty sure the projectiles have their own object array. But it's still a resource intensive thing to do :p

Or just set it so when they get hit with a projectile, instead of getting hurt, they do a matrix gani of them dodging it... it'll be cheap but it'll be cool as hell.

I agree. That would look pretty damn cool.

That would be ***, gani's take time and I dont want to freeze in a middle of a fight. Don't mess with PK, thats what r-tard Jenn did and it ruined Era.

It's not PK. It's for baddies? o_O
