Disable Attack for Computer Enemies

[Lauli]

The basic idea is this:

• 
  
  • The problem is, that it seems that it only works in the original firen_flame frames.
    So you only need to delete the dvx movement of those frames, give the burning-smoke frames state: 3005 and (to keep the gameplay up) give the opoint in Firen's Inferno frames a start-dvx.

I've done all those things and gave bandit an attack where he disables all attacks of the enemies in front of him.

hm, somehow this reminds me to HEX editing - maybe there's something silva can find out and cause the stopping of enemies...

yes he found some 'difficult' settings that disable any attacking from the AI some time ago - pretty funny cause they still keep their preset distance to you

ive noticed sth similar with julio - if you stand directly on his line when he spawns and keep standing there (no firen flame or anything required) he wont attack/pick up his armor (you can stand there forever - he cant move untill he picked it)
so i wonder whether this also works when the bandits are not in line with firen

to me this looks like they simply defend cause of some state 3/xxx object approaching them, combined with the fact that they dont attack when they are not above/below you on z-axis
so i guess the only firen flame specific thing there is that they also dont try to close up to you?

Actually, I experienced the same thing with something totally different...
The attack was running on id: 423 and had the following frames:

Code:

<frame> 100 flying
   pic: 0  state: 3000  wait: 1  next: 101  dvx: 15  dvy: 0  centerx: 90  centery: 41  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   itr:
      kind: 0  x: 22  y: 27  w: 55  h: 27  dvx: 20 dvy: -10   fall: 70  vrest: 10  bdefend: 16  injury: 65 effect: 3
   itr_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 22  y: 27  w: 55  h: 27
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>

<frame> 101 flying
   pic: 1  state: 3000  wait: 1  next: 100  dvx: 15  dvy: 0  centerx: 90  centery: 41  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   itr:
      kind: 0  x: 22  y: 27  w: 55  h: 27  dvx: 20  dvy: -10   fall: 70  vrest: 10  bdefend: 16  injury: 65 effect: 2
   itr_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 22  y: 27  w: 55  h: 27
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>

The only thing coms did was standing around plus defending.
And if anybody is interested, it was the 6th line in data.txt

Too bad they don't...

For the enemy stop itself you have to create a rather high facing then...
