DaGanjaMan Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Most notable new scripting functions: - Ped support Hello this is Ganja, I was wondering about what you meant when you said Ped Support, Did you mean pedestrians walking around etc or did you mean one little man standing in one location selling drugs or guns etc. PLease can you explain what was meant, so the community may realise what is being said. Thank you very much in advance DaGanjaMan
Ace_Gambit Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Erm, ped support is exactly what they say it is...pedestrians walking around like in SP. Only this time you can control behaviour/trigger events by querying/setting states and actions/tasks of peds.
DaGanjaMan Posted April 6, 2008 Author Posted April 6, 2008 Well i sure hope so, rather a tester or someone commented on that Or maybe a video or picture showing that. So many views but so little comments....Little worrying considerin imagine if it was just a person that is standing in one position all day like the amunation etc, Please a tester or someone re-assure us that by 'ped support' you meant pedestrians walking around etc. Thanks, Ganja
Slo Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 http://www.mtasa.com/potd.html Look at the first picture
Dark Dragon Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 you seem to forget that peds need to be scripted... afaik you can't do traffic="true" or /pedsOn to make AI go around everywhere
DaGanjaMan Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 Picture looks ok, but will they be able to shoot etc? punch with fists and interact with the real players
Atti Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 will they be able to shoot etc? I was opening a topic to ask the same thing... Peds will be only dummies with a stupid IA or will they be able to do something particular, i.e. attacking a specific player with a specific weapon?

Peds will be only dummies with a stupid IA or will they be able to do something particular, i.e. attacking a specific player with a specific weapon? As you can find >>THIS<< function in the wiki i guess peds will be able to shoot =)
Ace_Gambit Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 As you can find >>THIS<< function in the wiki i guess peds will be able to shoot =) But it lacks a setPedTask or setPedSimplestTask. What this could mean is that peds can interact in the GTA world like in SP (peds talking to each other or fighting over turfs) but can not be forced to attack "real" players. But this is just a speculation based on what is on the wiki right now. Most functions are "getting" instead of "setting".
Atti Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah, of course they will BE ABLE. But if you want a ped attack a SPECIFIC player, could you do it? There're actually too many "get", i hope dp3 will have something more.
darkdreamingdan Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Ped support is very premative at this time. Right now they can do basic tasks but its not very advanced yet. For now they are unable to drive vehicles or shoot weapons. It is a matter of adding and syncing the more advanced tasks that allow for these functions.
Axis Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I wonder, the picture on MTA's potd... ...it kindof means that scripting (or at least, spawning) NPC allready does work!? If so, even if its not supported/heavly buggy I'd like to know if ANYONE of you know how?
Brophy Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 The thread already confirms that there is ped scripting support, its just basic atm, the potd was taken by a member in the qa team
@C3 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Ped support is very premative at this time. Right now they can do basic tasks but its not very advanced yet. For now they are unable to drive vehicles or shoot weapons. It is a matter of adding and syncing the more advanced tasks that allow for these functions. When DP3 is out, will they be improved enough so they would be able to shoot or drive, or will we just have a bunch of unsuspecting citizens waiting around to get shot and run over? I guess either way it's a hell of a lot better than nothing but it would be great to be able to at least fight with them.
Axis Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 The thread already confirms that there is ped scripting support, its just basic atm, the potd was taken by a member in the qa team Ahhhh thanks ^^ Then I can't wait for DP3
Mr.Hankey Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 http://development.mtasa.com/index.php?title=CreatePed Wohooo the function is now client AND server sided so if im not terribly wrong that means that peds are synced!!!!

Ace_Gambit Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 That's great. And you can also make them shoot: http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... ntrolState Now all we need is a function to make them target client players .

Nah, it doesn't necessarily mean they're synced. That function only creates a ped for all clients, what happens to the ped after that is not synchronized.
Atti Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Wooohooooooo, that's fantastic: http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... ePedUseGun
