new weapons for ai

[nic485x]

Will the ai (guards,thugs and city watch) be able to use axes and other weapons.

They already can. Mappers just have to attach them.

[Mortem Desino]

You can. AI have their weapons "def_attach"ed to them. There are a few other weapons you can attach instead in tdm_moveable_weapons.def, like atdm:moveable_weapon_axe_hand, atdm:moveable_weapon_mace, and more.

Mmmm, I wonder if I could set up some halberdiers...

Actually, you can.

 

 

(though to be fair, they won't attack with the halberds; they'll drop them when alerted and draw swords)

 

"def_attach5" "atdm:prop_halberd"

"pos_attach5" "hand_l"

oh.... the same with axes??

[Springheel]

the same with axes??

 

No, axes, maces, and other regular-sized weapons can all be used in combat. The pagan warrior already uses a hand-axe, if you want to look at him as an example.

but is the fighting animation the same? It would look weird if a guard hits you very fast several times with a heavy axe..

 

--maybe challanging ... a guard with heavy damage - one hit, almost dead... Hmmm... I'd like too see that

Yes. It would be nice to get different animations for different weapons eventually.
