Enemy and Friend Cog
2002-06-22, 4:00 PM #1
In my level you disguise yourself as a stormtrooper. While you have the disguise on, stormtroopers will not attack you. When you take it off they will. But if you attack them while you have the suit on, then they will keep attacking you.

I don't think this is very hard to do, but I do have one question before I start writing it. How do I dynamically set if an actor is against me or an allie through cog?

Its all in the AI file. Just fun an array through all of the objects in a levels, looking for enemy stormtroopers. When found, change its AI to something non-volatile and back.

So I'll have to replace the friendly stormtrooper with a mean one through cog?

Code: 
For(I=0;I<=Getthingcount();I=I+1) If(Getthingtemplate(I) == Troop_type) AIsetclass(I, New_AI);


A loop to change every enemy of a specific template to a new AI file.

One more question (as of now) what message should I use?

Code: 
Startup:
Sleep(.5);
For(I=0;I<=Getthingcount();I=I+1) If(Getthingtemplate(I) == Troop_type) { Capturething(I); AIsetclass(I, Gentle_AI); }
Stop;

Damaged:
If(Getthingparent(Getsourceref()) != Player || AImad) Stop;
AImad=1;  //AImad is an int, make it 0 and local.
For(I=0;I<=Getthingcount();I=I+1) If(Getthingtemplate(I) == Troop_type) AIsetclass(I, Mad_AI);
Stop;



I have no idea how you are handling the 'removal' of the stormie outfit, but add something similar to the second array to that action.

All I did was edit the Tuskan Clothing cogs to display differant text and change the template.
