I've never made a scenario before but I want to try to make a "peaceful" scenario. A lot of people want to chill out and sight-see without the adrenaline rush of combat, and so I am trying to edit the NPC behavior. In the config file I see the following entry Item Id: 2555, Name: MeleeMegalonopsGrey, Ref: MeleeTemplate { ROF: 2, type: float Range: 6.5 Damage: 100 So I have some questions, 1. What is ROF: 2 ? 2. What is type: float ? 3. What is range: 6.5 ? Damage I think I understand. I am thinking I could at least make the Damage: 0 so the animals can't hurt, but they'll still attack. Is the file Ref: MeleeTemplate available to edit? Thanks for any help, I've been searching but can't find the answers.
rof is rate of fire. Float possibly means floating point. Range usually means distance the object can affect... so a drill with a range of 2 means 2 metres. Why not switch out all predators with prey animals? Then there are no aggressive behaviours.
sparrowhawk65 thanks for the info. I didn't want to remove animals, I just want them to behave differently. I am thinking it might be easier to make the player invisible to the aggressive animals rather than editing the animals' behavior. I know I picked a tough project for a first scenario, but I'm really motivated to figure it out. I want something a bit different than the peaceful scenario Piddlefoot created a while ago. In the config file I see # Normal AI ( associated with Megalonopses, oviraptor, raptor, raptor night, and all of the Golems) and also # Behavioral AI (associated with triceratops, pangolins, alienbug03, Telluropods). I tried swapping them around to see what happened, and I think I affected the behavior of some animals but I need to tinker more.
There are a couple of entries with... IsEnemy: true Maybe if you added " IsEnemy: false" to some of the common predators and see what happens. Start with... { Entity Name: PredatorBAITemplate IsEnemy: true } to { Entity Name: PredatorBAITemplate IsEnemy: false } and maybe add to the spiders entry just below. Good luck.
