How to stop ped switch their weapon to unarmed

[jstq 1]

I want to make ped use only the weapon that I gave to them. This is my code:

  foreach (RelationshipGroup group in Enum.GetValues(typeof(RelationshipGroup)))                                    currentPed.ChangeRelationship(group, Relationship.Hate);                                currentPed.BecomeMissionCharacter();                                List<GTA.Weapon> weapons = new List<GTA.Weapon>() { GTA.Weapon.Rifle_AK47, GTA.Weapon.Rifle_M4, GTA.Weapon.Shotgun_Baretta, GTA.Weapon.Shotgun_Basic,                                 GTA.Weapon.SMG_MP5, GTA.Weapon.SMG_Uzi, GTA.Weapon.Thrown_Grenade, GTA.Weapon.Thrown_Molotov, GTA.Weapon.Handgun_Glock };                                Random rnd = new Random();                                GTA.Weapon randomWeapon = weapons[rnd.Next(1, weapons.Count)];                                currentPed.Weapons.Select(randomWeapon);                                currentPed.Weapons.Current.Ammo = 500;                                currentPed.Weapons.Select(randomWeapon);                                currentPed.CowerInsteadOfFleeing = true;                                currentPed.Armor = 50;                                currentPed.CanSwitchWeapons = false;                                currentPed.WantedByPolice = true;                                currentPed.WillUseCarsInCombat = false;                                currentPed.Task.ClearAllImmediately();                                currentPed.Task.FightAgainstHatedTargets(500f);                                Blip bl = currentPed.AttachBlip();                                bl.Color = BlipColor.Green;                                gPedBlipDict.Add(currentPed, bl);                                break;

So when I test this, ped gets selected, does a couple of shots, then switches his weapon to unarmed and starts melee with closest ped. How do I prevent this? Setting unarmed ammo to negative or zero doesnt helps. I did weapon selection twice on debug purpouse, because maybe if I set ammo for weapon ped doesnt have it have no effect. After a minute of that melee brawling, ped just starts run away scared.

 

And how to make ped to attack cars and not exit car if shooting is happens nearby?

Try changing his relationshipgroup to one of the gangs... i think u need to mess with the DecisionMaker stuff (i never used before) to alter how he acts but i think making them a gangmember relgroup also makes them aggressive and use weapons if armed

foreach (Ped currentPed in pedsNearBy)                        {                            if (!currentPed.Exists() || currentPed == Player.Character|| !currentPed.isAliveAndWell || currentPed.isRequiredForMission)                                continue;                            else                            {                                currentPed.CowerInsteadOfFleeing = true;                                currentPed.WillUseCarsInCombat = true;                            }                            if (!gPedBlipDict.ContainsKey(currentPed) && !gVehBlipDict.ContainsKey(currentPed) && !currentPed.isInCombat)                            {                                foreach (RelationshipGroup group in Enum.GetValues(typeof(RelationshipGroup)))                                    currentPed.ChangeRelationship(group, Relationship.Hate);                                currentPed.ChangeRelationship(RelationshipGroup.Gang_Italian,Relationship.Companion);                                currentPed.BecomeMissionCharacter();                                GivePedRandomWeapon(currentPed);                                currentPed.CowerInsteadOfFleeing = true;                                currentPed.Armor = 50;                                currentPed.CanSwitchWeapons = false;                                currentPed.WantedByPolice = true;                                currentPed.WillUseCarsInCombat = false;                                currentPed.Task.FightAgainstHatedTargets(500f);                                Blip bl = currentPed.AttachBlip();                                bl.Color = BlipColor.Green;                                gPedBlipDict.Add(currentPed, bl);                                break;                            }                        }    private void GivePedRandomWeapon(Ped ex_Ped)        {            List<GTA.Weapon> weapons = new List<GTA.Weapon>() { GTA.Weapon.Rifle_AK47, GTA.Weapon.Rifle_M4, GTA.Weapon.Shotgun_Baretta, GTA.Weapon.Shotgun_Basic,                                GTA.Weapon.SMG_MP5, GTA.Weapon.SMG_Uzi, GTA.Weapon.Thrown_Grenade, GTA.Weapon.Thrown_Molotov, GTA.Weapon.Handgun_Glock };            Random rnd = new Random();            GTA.Weapon randomWeapon = weapons[rnd.Next(1, weapons.Count)];            ex_Ped.Weapons.Select(randomWeapon);            ex_Ped.Weapons.Current.Ammo = 500;            ex_Ped.Weapons.Select(randomWeapon);        }

just noticed how old lady gets shotgun, does 2 shots and DROP it on the ground and starts melee... WTF? And some other peds shooting fine until they die...

[LordOfTheBongs 109]

yeah some game script is conflicting telling em to attack unarmed, u can try creating DecisionMaker objects and applying them to your ped but i never had much luck accomplishing anything

[jstq 1]

Now I have another problem with armed peds..

Whenever I try they just stand still

  foreach (RelationshipGroup group in Enum.GetValues(typeof(RelationshipGroup)))                                currentPed.ChangeRelationship(group, Relationship.Hate);                            currentPed.RelationshipGroup = RelationshipGroup.Gang_Italian;                            currentPed.BecomeMissionCharacter();                            GivePedRandomWeapon(currentPed);                            currentPed.CowerInsteadOfFleeing = true;                            currentPed.Armor = 50;                            currentPed.CanSwitchWeapons = false;                            currentPed.WantedByPolice = true;                            currentPed.WillUseCarsInCombat = true;                            TaskSequence ts = new TaskSequence();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(500f);                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(500f);                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(500f);                            currentPed.Task.PerformSequence(ts);

What is wrong there and is there a way to check if ped standing still without any task?

[Rugz007 32]

frozen thing issue did you tried to shoot them?

[jstq 1]

Tried to push them with car, they dont move untill they die. But other part of code with tasks:

    currentPed.BecomeMissionCharacter();                            currentPed.WillUseCarsInCombat = true;                            TaskSequence ts = new TaskSequence();                            ts.AddTask.EnterVehicle(currVeh, VehicleSeat.Driver);                            ts.AddTask.CruiseWithVehicle(currVeh, 250f, false);                            currentPed.Task.PerformSequence(ts);

works fine

[jstq 1]

Ped doesn't react if i aim at him and doesnt react at shooting (falls, stands up and stand still again)

[LordOfTheBongs 109]

I heard the TaskSequence stuff was bugged but I never tested myself, just what I heard from a more experienced coder.

 

I'm curious what you are trying to do? Is this like a riot script where all peds should be fighting?

[jstq 1]

One ped should do riot thing, other should steal cars... Trying to bring some life to streets.

   TaskSequence ts = new TaskSequence();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(50f);                            ts.AddTask.Die();                            currentPed.Task.PerformSequence(ts);

Ped gets selected and instantly dies. I guess there is no hated targets for him in this raduis? But I saw at least one other ped nearby.

[Rugz007 32]

I did had that issue of frozen objects its because... Ithink.... Game loads too many scripts and it just had not enough video memory

[jstq 1]

tried this sequence

   TaskSequence ts = new TaskSequence();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                            ts.AddTask.WanderAround();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                                                         ts.AddTask.WanderAround();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                             ts.AddTask.WanderAround();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                            ts.AddTask.WanderAround();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                            ts.AddTask.WanderAround();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                             ts.AddTask.WanderAround();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                             ts.AddTask.WanderAround();                            ts.AddTask.FightAgainstHatedTargets(100f, 9999999);                            currentPed.Task.PerformSequence(ts);

ped wanders around, stops for a moment, then starts wandering again. I've shotted at him, he is just wandering after wakes up.

not really sure how TaskSequences work and what triggers them to know a task is completed. I wouldn't rely on it. You can manually write a sequence of tasks too and actually control how it works.

 

im curious, the loop you do... foreach (Ped currentPed in pedsNearBy)

 

do u just do that once? or is that in a tick and u run that loop over and over... not really sure but if u paste your whole script maybe i can test it

Edited May 29, 2014 by LordOfTheBongs

[jstq 1]

just a little test code http://pastebin.com/QzTQGSJD this is the only script that's connected to the game

gTMAIN - creates crazy driver, works fine
gTRampage -creates mad ped, doesnt works, worked yesterday.
gTStealers - creates ped that steal car from street and drives away
gTCleaning - cleans sh*t. Probably the source of the problem
gLockCars - locks nearby cars and checks if player steals car and gives warning level

gScheduledWantedLevel - adds wanted level if player doesnt get away far

[LordOfTheBongs 109]

ok cool, i will give it a go in an hour or so

 

at work now

[LordOfTheBongs 109]

 

 

i started cleaning up a little code, i do things a certain way, maybe you might like the style... also notice how i create the Random object on load... you need to do this because if u create a new Random everytime u need then it will 99.9% of the time choose the same weapon... google how the random object works... doing something like new Random.Next() will always give u same result. So create the object on load and then it will properly randomize everytime u call

 

Also I notice u start the random at 1 instead of 0... so it will never choose the AK... you should just remove the AK from the array and start the Next() at 0 or maybe u meant to include the AK and it is just a typo... but change to...

GTA.Weapon randomWeapon = weapons[rnd.Next(0, weapons.Count)];

Edited May 29, 2014 by LordOfTheBongs

[jstq 1]

I'm creating it once per tick, so its different. Not passing it into random weapon function is my mistake though, ty. Also, I'm always trying to minimize global variables count, which is very hard in this gta coding with those timers-oriented code style.

 

So the weapon func should look like this

 

 private void GivePedRandomWeapon(Ped ex_Ped, Random ex_rand)        {            List<GTA.Weapon> weapons = new List<GTA.Weapon>() { GTA.Weapon.Rifle_AK47, GTA.Weapon.Rifle_M4, GTA.Weapon.Shotgun_Baretta, GTA.Weapon.Shotgun_Basic,                                GTA.Weapon.SMG_MP5, GTA.Weapon.SMG_Uzi, GTA.Weapon.Thrown_Grenade, GTA.Weapon.Thrown_Molotov, GTA.Weapon.Handgun_Glock };            GTA.Weapon randomWeapon = weapons[ex_rand.Next(1, weapons.Count)];            ex_Ped.Weapons.Current.Ammo = 500;            ex_Ped.Weapons.Select(randomWeapon);           }

I've also saw rare unhandled exception that is probably was thrown in the only place without try block - cleaning tick Edited May 29, 2014 by jstq

[LordOfTheBongs 109]

ah cool. No problem, well it is my lunch break, ill give your script a test soon and see if i can fix anything

[jstq 1]

The main thing I cant fighure out is why ped looses their task to start fighting, but does other tasks fine.

[LordOfTheBongs 109]

u know what, i came to the realization i have helped u before with this... i just tried this and everyone is going crazy, u can use some ideas maybe... i wrote this a long time ago so it might need work...

i dont think u should use task sequences
