Changing the antlion attack to always pounce

[dennisdc]

How do I codewise change the attacks of the antlion to always use the ACT_POUNCE animation instead of the ACT_MELEE_ATTACK1 animations ?

Bear in mind, that I do not have access to the QC file, so it has to be changed in the code.

Check the antlions AI file. Look through its tasks and schedules and see where it uses ACT_MELEE_ATTACK1.

If you don't find it, then the base class is probably handling the melee attack, which means you're probably going to need to put a special case in the TranslateActivity() function.

I've had limited experience with AI so I could be completely wrong. Longshanks, any ideas?

around 752 of npc_antlion.cpp, i guess removing those

Code: Select all

if ( pEvent->event == AE_ANTLION_MELEE_HIT1 )
if ( pEvent->event == AE_ANTLION_MELEE_HIT2 )
lines and put them in the one below
if ( pEvent->event == AE_ANTLION_MELEE_POUNCE || pEvent->event == AE_ANTLION_MELEE_HIT2 || pEvent->event == AE_ANTLION_MELEE_HIT1)


etc
