stationary monsters

[Akatana]

Hello I'm working on NPC's right now and I'm kinda confused on how the stationary function works?
If I'm right it should stop the movement of a monster (kinda like blockers)
But it seems like its no boolean because if I set staionary = true, the monster still moves...
Sooo how to use it?

which stationary function? I don't see any stationary function.

stationary: if set the monster does not move.

[Montis]

It's not really a function but more a property... http://www.grimrock.net/modding/asset-d ... reference/

No clue how to use it though other than cloning an existing monster and then setting the stationary to true.

[Magus]

Oh in the asset definition, usually it should work with stationary = true.

EDIT: did you miss the "t" in stationary maybe?

[Akatana]

But it does not

I am also interested in this. How does this stationary thing work and can the monster be made so that it is first stationary (not doing anything, just "guarding" on one spot) and then when the party picks up a certain item (or moves on "right" spot), the monster will move normally and attack the party.

You can make this with blockers

Just place an invisible pressure plate on the ground and then link it to a script where you simply deactivate the blockers around the monster

Code: Select all

function deactivateBlockers()
   blocker_1:deactivate()
   blocker_2:deactivate()
   ...
end

what about the "guarding" option for monsters?

[Akatana]

Yup already figured this out
But now my new problem is that I dont know how to remove an item from an alcove
