And btw, feral dog packs are amazing. Was looking for something natural to fill the game with more threat which is not about monsters/zombies stuff. Thanks man! Good luck. Let me know how it goes. I'm about to release another mission with JBOY Dog in it, and that mission has a lot of small improvements on the dog scripts. You might want to copy the JBOY_Dog folder out of that mission to get latest and greatest code. Will be out within a week. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyboy 3789 Posted November 3, 2018 I just released Last Tango in Tanoa: Episode 2 Razing Cane featuring JBOY Dog. The latest JBOY Dog scripts are in this mission. There have been many small improvements since the last release of JBOY Dog. So if you are using JBOY Dog scripts, you may want to unPBO this mission and take the JBOY_Dog folder from it, and replace the JBOY_Dog folder in any mission where you are using the script. I know I need to release a new version of JBOY_Dog with all the new stuff in it, but I don't know when that will happen. And try my new mission and rate it on Steam to show your support for JBOY_Dog! Thanks. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malcain 35 Posted November 6, 2018 Using this to avoid feral dogs to endlessly chase the player, but you may end up with a better solution: _dogTgt = _nearTargets select 0; waituntil {sleep .5; ({alive _x} count _packMembers == 0 )|| ({alive _x} count _nearTargets) == 0 ||(_pack getVariable "vMovementType") == "roam" || _packLeader distance _dogTgt > 150 }; Trying feral dogs on dedicated. The only critical issue I'm having a hard time with - feral dogs will run forever directly where they are faced.. the dog will aggro and attack the player only if the player comes within attack range of the dog, but won't chase the player. Something is broken within their path loops, no matter if roaming or attack, tried both so far :C 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea. BTW, its a shame the run speed of dog is slower than mans though. setAnimCoeff doesn't work on animals, so can't make them faster that way. Edit: Another idea for ending the chase would be a time out. I remember seeing in @Vandeanson's bandit camp video he climbed up onto the roof of a shack and the dogs all circled around below him (which is great), but maybe they should get bored after 5 minutes or so and leave. 14 hours ago, Malcain said: Trying feral dogs on dedicated.

Something is broken within their path loops, no matter if roaming or attack, tried both so far :C Just a guess, but perhaps multiple command loops are running for a dog (server + n clients), so each dog is getting multiple animations executed without time for their path AI (which is BIS code) to turn them? Thanks for taking this on dude! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3789 Posted November 7, 2018 @Vandeanson if you want to control dogs via script, all the commands that are available to a player handler are available to a scripter (sort of an API). For example, in the opening scene of Last Tango in Tanoa 2: Razing Cane, the dog is in the back of the truck and the player is interacting with AI. Later an AI attacks player, and I script the dog acting on his own to defend player without player commanding the dog via dog menu. This is how its done: dog1 setVariable ["vSilentCommand",true,true]; // Controls whether says the command out load. When false it looks like dog does action on his own. dog1 setVariable ["vCommand", 'getout', true]; // Dog exits vehicle sleep 2; dog1 setVariable ["vTarget", someDude, true]; // give dog a target ai object dog1 setVariable ["vCommand", 'attack', true]; // command dog to attack sleep 2; dog1 setVariable ["vSilentCommand",false,true]; // turn on voice command You can use logic similar to the above for an AI dog handler to command his dog to attack an enemy that it has sensed. Spawn a loop on the dog that looks for this variable: dog1 getVariable "vTarget"; // if not objNull, then dog has sensed an enemy, or handler has ordered dog to detain or attack this obj That variable is = objNull if no enemy sensed. If dog sensed an enemy that variable is set to the object (AI or player) that the dog detected. Once it changes to a real unit, you can have the Handler issue an attack command via code posted above (probably without setting vSilent as you want to hear the command issued). You could do this with your own code executing, or you can modify this script to do the above. I would only auto-command dog to attack if the handler <> player. JBOY_DogEnemyDetectionLoop.sqf If you take it on, I'll incorporate it in official JBOY_Dog version and credit you of course. Good luck man. Edit: Here is the variable that controls how close an enemy must be for the dog to detect it. _dog setVariable ["vEnemyDetectDistance", 70, true]; // Distance at which dog can detect an ememy The default is 70 when dog is created. I set up trigger areas in my missions to reduce this distance when in jungles or cane fields. You might want to do something similar if camp is created in a forest or jungle (I reduced to 45 in jungle). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly. It really is a shame, and a shame on BIS part for not fixing their own content for years. Any ideas on a workaround? Timer could be useful, but I don't see any reason for making it, as you can simply outrun the dogs if you want, atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there's lots of dogs in the pack, and you are trapped on top of shack, timer might still be useful. Also, not all players know you can outrun dogs, and if you are carrying a heavy pack, maybe you can't outrun dogs. It would be possible to setVelocityModelSpace dogs faster I guess, but might cause weird physics issues, and might look weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZCoder 921 Posted November 7, 2018 In Shadow Fall you can only outrun dogs while all out sprinting, but when you get tired they start catching up. I released that one night video a couple years back, I had to run upstairs into a building to survive the pack. It was quite a rush. That's just using your script, I didn't modify dog speed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vandeanson 1677 Posted November 8, 2018 looking forward to it, thanks!;) im updating the AI equipper function of my scripts and will then start to work on additional features of the bandit camp (possibility to claim it, raids by bandits, build or move defensive structures, and some other stuff i announced on my thread) would be cool to also implement the chicken alarm, and guard dogs then as well. keeping you posted. looking for a doghouse structure now:)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3789 Posted November 8, 2018 Version 1.4 of JBOY Dog released! The video features AI patrols with dogs that detect, warn and attack enemies. Change Log: Added saveLoad eventhandler to init.sqf so menu restored when player loads from saved game Added red paw icon to display on dog when SITREP command issued. Allow naming dog if default Boomer dog is not used Added some advanced hints (you will need to include the .hpp in your description.ext as shown in example mission description.ext). Improved AI control of dogs. Dogs follow AI in Heel mode through waypoints. When dogs detect enemies, the AI Handlers goes into combat mode and commands dog to attack. After all known enemeies killed, AI Handler resumes following waypoints and commands dog back into Heel mode. This is great for sentries walking a base perimeter for example. Better following of handler when in Heel mode Tons of small bug fixes and small improvements I can't remember.

Also the tree exploded. So yeah, awesome, it is working and I ll do some more testing and then release it ;) one question regarding the command menu: I am doing something wrong , I do not see any commands I have copied the description.ext content as well as the init - i only changed the player name to player1 - any idea what could cause this?

I have drafted up these AI and AI group spawners that i will use for my script. - task defend guys that would be spawned at a camp or site to guard + 1 stationary AI+ dog - Task patrol guys that patrol an area + a patrol dog - simple AI + dog patrol - simple AI + dog guard. AI has ambient animations on - and also a simple AI spawner PS: my code needs some clean up but works.

No idea what's wrong. Maybe you can zip your whole editor mission directory for me, and I can take a look at it. I'm taking off for the evening, so may not look at it until tomorrow. 3 minutes ago, Vandeanson said: you should see them guard hideouts.... so chilled=D Very cool. 14 minutes ago, HazJ said: Explode trees?

johnnyboy 3789 Posted November 9, 2018 @Vandeanson I keep seeing the black and white dog. I'm guessing you want random dog types for your spawns. Here's how to do it: _randomDog = selectRandom ["Fin_blackwhite_F","Fin_ocherwhite_F","Fin_tricolour_F","Alsatian_Sand_F","Alsatian_Black_F","Alsatian_Sandblack_F"]; _dog = [_handler, _randomDog, (_handler modelToWorld [3,4,0]), false] call JBOY_dog_create; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
