AI that die immediately when hit

[Springheel]

I'd like to have an AI that dies if he takes any damage at all. I set his health to 1 HP, yet for some reason I can still shoot him with an arrow once and he just plays his pain animation and doesn't die until he is shot a second time.

 

Is there a console command that will show me his current HP?

Huh, I forgot that the player's combat difficulty setting adds HP to AI. If you set the Combat Difficulty setting to Hard, even untrained AI get a bonus of 10 HP.

 

Not quite sure how to get around that problem. I'll try making a custom melee combat entity tomorrow if I can't think of any other ideas.

Maybe you can create one AI for each diff level and give them health that comes out to 1 in each difficulty. I dont know if a -9 health before the extra 10 health is added would be a problem at spawn time.

It'd probably be easier to create a script which checks the health of the AI every .1 seconds or so and will kill the AI if its health drops below the health that it started the level with. I did something something similar in House to check if the player had hurt a friendly AI.

Couldn't you use a script for all AI, that kills the AI as soon as it gets damage? Or a damage stim, with a kill response?

From memory somewhere in the inherited properties are damage multipliers, you could set them up really high so any damage will be a fatal blow.

Very good point. If I remember correctly, the multipliers are set for different body parts, so it is some writing work to do, but it should also work.
