Is there a way to make Ogres not use rush attack?

[vidarfreyr]

Is there a way to make Ogres not use rush attack? Say, if one wanted it to use spells as a ranged attack instead? Still using hammer on close range?

[hyteria]

sure it is , you have to copy/paste on your object lua the code from ogre and remove the line with rush attack

well i think if you remove those line

rushBegin = "assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/tunnel_ogre_rush_begin.fbx",
rushContinue1 = "assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/tunnel_ogre_rush_continue_right_step.fbx",
rushContinue2 = "assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/tunnel_ogre_rush_continue_left_step.fbx",
rushHit1 = "assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/tunnel_ogre_rush_hit_right_step.fbx",
rushHit2 = "assets/animations/monsters/tunnel_ogre/tunnel_ogre_rush_hit_left_step.fbx",
and

rushBeginSound = "ogre_rush_begin",

or if it not work , change brain to "Melee"

Alternatively you could put the vision to 1 so it can only see 1 square away.

If you omit the lines for those animations, you will crash the game. Not sure about the brain = melee, though. worth a shot!

"invalid brain type" unless I did something else wrong.... hold

OK... Melee works.... no charge.... so... if i am tryin to have him cast spells... which brain......

Can someone help us fix this script?

Code: Select all

onAttack = function(self)
     local dx, dy = getForward(self.facing)
     spawn("fireburst", self.level, self.x + dx, self.y + dy, self.facing)
     return false
end,

I don't understand scripting enough to know how to let it know about second parameters.

This is an attempt at making an ogre sling spells.

Perhaps a script is needed that will change the monsters brain type depending on how far away the player is? For fireballs I suppose a uggardian brain and a onRangedAttack command might work. But for the Ogre to switch to melee then perhaps a script that measures the length between Ogre and party then switches brain type to melee. Sounds crazy enough to work.

[hyteria]

i think is "range" type if you want him to cast a spell and define his range attack as a spell

well in fact the real question is "it is possible to define a brain"?

if yes how?

I've never used getForward, but I know anytime something will return two values you need to variable to hold them. As far as I can see, that script looks fine. Maybe test with some other monsters?

You could test and see how the getForward works by changing the code to simply:

Code: Select all

print(getForward(self.facing))

or just add the line:

Code: Select all

print(dx,dy)

Your script looks absolutely fine... and mirrors one of my own (granted mine's a range attack, but still should work for replacing the melee attack.)

Code: Select all

onRangedAttack = function(self)
          local dx, dy = getForward(self.facing)
          spawn("deathball", self.level, self.x + dx, self.y + dy, self.facing)
          return false
        end,
