OSP Code Combat [WB] Taunting

Pumpkin Lord · Mar 3, 2014

The following script introduces a good ol' combat mechanic, allowing to lure soldiers to yourself in a certain distance depending on your ironflesh skill.

In most of the RPG and action games, it is a common fact that there is needed a "tank" to take the aggro while others playing their own roles in the party. Well, it is one of those perks a tank needs most.

Basically, it works like...you cast the spell (Has a cooldown of 3 minutes.), runs a poor "skl_ironflesh" comparison to enhance the taunting range before actually firing and depends on the ironflesh skill you have, so will the range be wider and more mobs to lure at yourself.

#Taunting system
common_taunting_system = (
  0, 0, 180, [(key_clicked, key_o),],
  [
       (get_player_agent_no, ":cool_man"),
       (agent_get_troop_id, ":cool_trp", ":cool_man"),
       (store_skill_level, ":i_skl_level", "skl_ironflesh", ":cool_trp"),         
       (agent_get_position, pos1, ":cool_man"),
        (assign, ":t_value", 100),
         (try_begin),
          (eq, ":i_skl_level", 1),
          (assign, ":t_value", 150),
           (else_try),
          (eq, ":i_skl_level", 2),
          (assign, ":t_value", 200),
           (else_try),
          (eq, ":i_skl_level", 3),

          (agent_force_rethink, ":taunted"),
          (agent_clear_relations_with_agents, ":taunted"),
          (agent_set_is_alarmed, ":taunted", 0),
          (agent_set_look_target_agent, ":taunted", ":cool_man"),
         (try_begin),
           (agent_is_alive, ":cool_man"),
           (agent_add_relation_with_agent, ":taunted", ":cool_man", -1),
           (agent_set_is_alarmed, ":taunted", 1),
           (agent_set_scripted_destination, ":taunted", pos1),
        (try_end),
      (try_end),
      #(agent_get_number_of_enemies_following, ":t_taunted", ":cool_man"),
      #(assign, reg1, ":t_taunted"),
      (display_message, "@ Taunt launched. {reg0} is the taunt range."),

    ])

There is one known issue with placement of lured troops really. I will fix that when I have the time. While at it, I will soon put up a gameplay video.

Enjoy.

Do a (val_mul, ":i_skl_level", 50), (store_add, ":t_value", 100, ":i_skl_level"), instead of the loop. You'll also want to take into account agents with ranged weapons that should try shooting instead of walking.

Aggro? In Warband? Sounds awesome.

I prefer to keep my code as plain and lame as it can be in fact. (Since the loop is less confusing and ugly at same time.) On the matter of ranged weapons, turning them around in first place does the trick if their weapon is loaded at that time, then they react to trigger properly. Which is how I want. (Sometimes they just come off without shooting but...well this unpredictability spices up the realism of combat.)

Harlef · Nov 11, 2014

Is there a way to add a sound instead of the message?

Fire_and_Blood · Nov 11, 2014

Adjust the end of the code like this:

(try_begin),
(agent_is_alive, ":cool_man"),
(agent_add_relation_with_agent, ":taunted", ":cool_man", -1),
(agent_set_is_alarmed, ":taunted", 1),
(agent_set_scripted_destination, ":taunted", pos1),
(try_end),
(try_end),
#(agent_get_number_of_enemies_following, ":t_taunted", ":cool_man"),
#(assign, reg1, ":t_taunted"),
(play_sound, "snd_cow_moo"),

])

The mooing will surely taunt any enemy of yours

Beobart · Dec 22, 2014

Does this work for MP, too?

Pumpkin Lord · Dec 23, 2014

Nope beo. Requires little tweaks though.

Beobart · Dec 23, 2014

Okay. Thanks for info.

dragos · May 13, 2015

Pretty good, definitely use it. Thanks Efe for your effort and sharing!

Poste your code, including a few lines above/below.
Hint: Please either use a spoiler or pastebin.com (With which you can select Python syntax highlighting, while you're already at it

## thanks for your help dude

That = is the problem of the syntax error (batch) i think it is something else
ps i put it at the back
THE problem is common taunting system = (syntax directs to =)

builder of the gods · Dec 4, 2015

What did i do wrong?

Somebody · Dec 4, 2015

You have an extra bracket ] at the end of what you posted. Do not put it at the back or inside a mission template, this is a trigger which we define for the compiler as common_taunting_system. You then add this trigger to mission templates by listing common_taunting_system, in the list of triggers.
