AI and colorful names questions

[ezzetabi]

It is reasonably easy make a monster angry at the player at the sight of a grenade even if the player is still no-where to be found?

Do you know the special Quake characters? The ones usually used to make colorful names in DM?

Thanks!

As far as the coloured characters are concerned, you should find that some of the latest clients (e.g. Proquake) have a name maker built in which enables you to use these characters. Failing that you could always use the online name maker hosted by QuakeTerminus.

Hope this helps

I think you should re-think getting your thoughts into words in a post, as the first section of your post isn't really a question.

hold combinations of ctrl, and alt, and shift, and the such.

like , ctrl+. = golden dot type stuff, same for numbers. Different clients = different button combinations.

Why not? I can think ``Yes'' as a possible, although unhelpful, answer to what I wrote.

I need a table that relates quake characters to hex values, I cannot just blindly press control keys in the QuakeC editor.

Yes, but I cannot understand how to convince the FindTarget function to react to other items that monster or player....

If u fteqcc there are special key combos to get the "funchars". In frikqcc I know its like "\bthis is red\b, and this is white"...
or
J.P.Grossman made a handy little tool that is basically a name maker BUT you can type anything you want, as you want it to appear in the game, then cut/paste it directly into your editor, within quotes of a bprint.

in combat.qc, when a monster is hurt it assigns the player as the monster's enemy...

	if ( (self.flags & FL_MONSTER) && attacker != world)
	{
	// get mad unless of the same class (except for soldiers)
		if (self != attacker && attacker != self.enemy)
		{
			if ( (self.classname != attacker.classname) 
			|| (self.classname == "monster_army" ) )
			{
				if (self.enemy.classname == "player")
					self.oldenemy = self.enemy;
				self.enemy = attacker;
				FoundTarget ();
			}
		}
	}

it would be cooler if making a sound would anger the monsters....

I can work on it if you want, but it seem that quake players do not enjoy those particulars. As you explained me in the other thread they even disable bobbing and the kick pitch... I guess I missed something in the last 10 years without quake...
