Enhanced NPC Melee

[Jono_Phoenix]

I would like to see NPC fistfighting ability enhanced. Currently, they can only throw left hand punches. I managed to decrease the time delay by editing melee.xtbl (min - max values). Still, though, I would like to see a mod that allows NPCs to:

1. Throw right hand punches and perform power attacks.
2. Perform QTE finishers.

With regard to QTE finishers, I removed the flag from MC Homie Finishers 1-4 that says "Attacker is Homie Only" and it lets NPCs do the moves, but it also screws up the player's normal attacks

Help/suggestions would be appreciated! Thx.

May i ask how you tweaked the NPC's into faster swings? Also i will help you figure this out as i have created a full Street Fighter Conversion, And it also bothered me how they swing with left hand...... We can work together on this! Check out my Combat mod

Open up ai_behavior.xtbl

Go to:

<Name>Civilian Unarmed</Name>
<Human_Description>
<human_elm>
<Weapon_Class>knuckles</Weapon_Class>
<Team>Civilian</Team>
</human_elm>
<human_elm>
<Weapon_Class>bat</Weapon_Class>
<Team>Civilian</Team>
</human_elm>
<human_elm>
<Weapon_Class>nightstick</Weapon_Class>
<Team>Civilian</Team>
</human_elm>
<human_elm>
<Weapon_Class>sword</Weapon_Class>
<Team>Civilian</Team>
</human_elm>
</Human_Description>
<Actions>
<ability_elm>
<Action>melee</Action>
<Repeat_min>0</Repeat_min>
<Repeat_max>2</Repeat_max>
</ability_elm>

The values in red correspond to the min and max values the civilian will wait before swinging a punch. Before it was something like min 2, max 4, meaning the npc would wait at least two seconds before punching. If you set it to min 0, max 0 the npc will basically spam punch.

Hope that helps!

Absolutely, no problem at all. Let me know if you figure out how to make NPCs do other attacks too.

WTF nightsticks, cops in Steelport can't afford those. They always pull their gun out of the pocket.

I didn't add that. It was in the .xtbl file already.

Update: seriously stuck. Right handed attacks and power attacks are just not part of the "melee" action, defined in combat_actions.xtbl. If anyone knows how to edit "melee" let me know.

I know. Probably something left from SR2 that is not installed. The Ronin swords are still in the weapon files too yet.
