Aggro radius doesn't work on my computer. Dunno why, gonna leave it at that.

So I'm trying to make a script that will essentially allow me to edit the distance a player (or actor) need to get within for an aggressor (a deathclaw in this case) before the deathclaw will engage the actor/player...

Basically, I have a camp setup for a mod I'm working on. I want the deathclaws and fire geckos to be close to the borders of the camp (much closer than the geck would allow) but WITHOUT attacking the guards, but still attacking the player if he gets too close. (Basically to give the player the illusion that the camp is basically screwed, without the monsters actually "screwing" it) hehe.

So here's what I've got so far:

;This script is used to tell an npc that if the player gets within a certain range to attack

scn VaultXAggroRange

begin GameMode

Actor.GetDistance.Player

if Player > x ;distance from actor with script (this is what I need help with)
StartCombat Player
endif

END

=======

x = distance from actor to player

Aside from making my day, helping me finish this script would solve a bottleneck that has been holding this mod back for days. =)

I will also give credit for the help, both in the actual script and in the game.

Thanks a lot,

Hit the GECK wiki on what an "ambush" AI package is. I suspect it can be made to do what you need.

I did. I'm not looking for a package though, i'm looking for a script.

If anyone knows of an alternative to the script or aggro radius, I'm all ears.

Uh, there is an aggro radius behaviour option on the creature's AI tab?

Already mentioned it doesn't work...

NV geck is horribly bugged... not surprized.

The ambush package will change their aggro radius...

Now the only issue is that they don't wander, they face the same direction.

Try giving the wait location on the ambush package a radius.

yeah I'm actually having an issue where they just stand there facing the direction they are facing in the geck... Gonna try increasing that now to see if that works... if not.... probably back to the script. /cry

God the GECK is so horrible. How did they make New Vegas with it?

Aggro radius doesn't work... just tried it for fifth+ time.

Can't get them to wander with the ambush script, so it just looks stupid.
And the ambush script takes precedence over the wander script, so that doesn't work either.

It has to work. I saw a 'young deathclaw' near where the alpha deathclaw etc is, and it was on an ambush package, and it was pacing around now and then.

maybe its scripted.

Also, I put DEAD units near the entrance to the camp except they aren't dead................
It says in their stats tab HEALTH ZERO. But they aren't dead, the guards attack them when I warp to the camp.

Nahhhhh, really I think this is how ambush packages work. See how it goes.

Oh um this camp does have working navmesh right?

yeah I know the mavmesh works.

Hey I want it to work.... been trying to get this going for days. When I give them the package, they stand still facing the direction they are in the GECK.

This should have taken 30 mins, this is the third day I'm on it.
