would you put EngFunc_RunPlayerMove in the npc_think? also would that make it run/shoot/ect.? act like a bot per say

[happycappy]

Can i make a hooker , like with the models of fpsbanana ? xD What should i change to make it work? The model of course.

[Lord_Destros]

Well what would you want to change about it other than the why is the word M O D EL blocked?

nice tut
i also have some rather complete examples of both creating an npc and a bot
(not actually trying to promote my plugins, i made them to be examples and just to see if i could get them work)

NPC -> http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=41457
BOT -> http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=29819

(currently gravity doesnt affect my npcs, that might be fixed at some point.. also suggestions on how to do it wouldnt hurt )

[Zenith77]

Here is the fakemeta way, for those that need it. Only difference is that the NPC uses the holo model, and the client command has been changed to "holo". Tested and works.

// Fakemeta way...

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fakemeta>

public plugin_init()
{
    
    register_clcmd("holo", "holo");
    register_forward(FM_Think, "Forward_Think");
    
}

public plugin_precache()
{
    
    precache_model("models/holo.mdl");
    precache_model("models/p_gauss.mdl");
    
}

public holo(id)
{

    new Float:origin[3];
    pev(id, pev_origin, origin);

    new ent = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target"));
    give_weapon(ent);

    engfunc(EngFunc_SetOrigin, ent, origin);
    origin[2] += 300.0;
    engfunc(EngFunc_SetOrigin, id, origin);

    set_pev(ent, pev_takedamage, 1.0);
    set_pev(ent, pev_health, 100.0);

    set_pev(ent, pev_classname, "npc_holo");
    engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, ent, "models/holo.mdl");
    set_pev(ent, pev_solid, 2);

    set_pev(ent, pev_controller_0, 125);
    set_pev(ent, pev_controller_1, 125);
    set_pev(ent, pev_controller_2, 125);
    set_pev(ent, pev_controller_3, 125);
    
    new Float:maxs[3] = {16.0,16.0,36.0};
    new Float:mins[3] = {-16.0,-16.0,-36.0};
    engfunc(EngFunc_SetSize, ent, mins, maxs);
    
    set_pev(ent, pev_animtime, 2.0);
    set_pev(ent, pev_framerate, 1.0);
    set_pev(ent, pev_sequence, 0);

    set_pev(ent, pev_nextthink, get_gametime() + 0.01);

    engfunc(EngFunc_DropToFloor, ent);
    dllfunc(DLLFunc_Think, ent);
    
    return 1;
    
}

public give_weapon(ent)
{
    
        new entWeapon = engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity, engfunc(EngFunc_AllocString, "info_target"));
        dllfunc(DLLFunc_Spawn, entWeapon);
    
        set_pev(entWeapon, pev_classname, "npc_weapon")

        set_pev(entWeapon, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_FOLLOW);
        set_pev(entWeapon, pev_solid, SOLID_NOT);
        set_pev(entWeapon, pev_aiment, ent);
        engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, entWeapon, "models/p_gauss.mdl"); 
    
}

public Forward_Think(id)
{
    new classname[32];
    pev(id, pev_classname, classname, 31);
    
    // Filter other entities...
    if (!equal(classname, "npc_holo"))
        return;
    
    // Put your think stuff here.
    set_pev(id, pev_nextthink, get_gametime() + 0.01);
    dllfunc(DLLFunc_Think, id);
    
}

[Zenith77]

Are you out of your mind. There is no way I'm going just whip an expert bot. Plus, if your going to attempt to make a bot, the knowledge to do so should already be in your head.

For your set model problem, you should already know how to that to, thats what this entire thread is about, how make an NPC and the code is right there.

engfunc(EngFunc_SetModel, ent, "models/holo.mdl");

Also, it's not falemaeta it's fakemeta and the holo model is just a default model used for the one of the training course people in HL.

[Zenith77]

There is really no difference (code wise) between NPC's and bots besides: their terminology, you have the option of creating a bot that takes up no slots on a server (example above) or use EngFunc_CreateFakePlayer, and the fact that bots simulate live players.

[Twilight Suzuka]

Actually, there is a BIG difference. NPC's that you make that are NOT bots you have to code a LOT more, while with BOTS you can load into the mods already created plugin infastructure, making them a lot easier to move and use realistically.

[Zenith77]

Can you please go away, you have to the only person in the world that has nothing better to do than to keep coming back to AMXX even though you've been banned. Get a life.
