Prevent scientists not being able to see players standing on a very tall building when in combat
Quick hack to test ways to not aggro all the oilrig scientists on the same floor when they hear the gunshots
Remove small navmesh islands on top of containers etc on small oilrig, prevents costly unsuccessful pathfinding to reach player standing on them, or useless eqs samples
Fix scientist returning to fast to patrol when enemy is still nearby
Add classic headshot crosshair and audio notify to new scientists
Allow other classes than BasePlayer to use headshot crosshair and audio notify
Replace T2 loadout editor preset gloves with bandana, put syringe in more sensible slot
Project lkp to navmesh before flanking, in case player is standing on a container or something else
- Makes it easier to change a scientist's weapon
- Equip oilrig scientist with classic mp5
Better naming and parameters in npc shooting component
Simplify scientist shooting logic
Spawn new scientists on small oilrig
Reduce odds of scientists charging
- Vary angles, don't be predictable and peek from the same place twice
- Improve and simplify the way we measure the quality of a flanking path, prevent very direct paths being accepted as "flanking" paths
Fix scientists not reacting to loud gun sounds when patrolling
Prevent scientist's eyes from staying at their standing height when they are crouching, potentially allowing them to see what's going on above their cover without peeking
- Fix scientists being able to see through some covers (pallets, pipe piles)
- Better line of sight debugging
Fix new scientists not being able to open doors
Add some randomness to the way scientist sample candidate positions, so that they don't pick the same too often, or multiple scientists don't pick the same
Reduce odds of re-hiding after peeking
Improve and simplify flanking pathfinding
Don't allow partial paths when flanking
- Make flanking route filtering more lenient as it was discarding some good ones
- Attempt to fix scientist bugging out when hiding
Better debug drawing for flanks, flank when possible, increase sightings memory duration
Don't refresh the path over time when moving to a static point (eg cover, peek)
Start setting up flanking state
- Make flanking debug display work both in games with DDRAW and in editor with gizmos
- Add height param to path debug drawing
Makes VDDRAW fallback to gizmos/handles when used in editor instead of DDRAW
- Make scientists sometimes opt for repositionning and staying on the offensive instead of staying in cover when they don't need to reload
- Add comments to each FSM transitions to help understand the scientist's thoughts
Make sure the cover is not compromised by the time we arrive in it, as it can look silly
Fix scientist heading toward bullet impact location instead of shot location (if the shot is loud enough eg firearm)
Lower scientist eyes slightly to prevent them seeing above above pipe piles and pallet piles (technically a player can do this, but it feels unfair if the scientist does it)
Use crouched height to trace for potential covers instead of standing height
Widen the trace fan to avoid having part of the body poke outside of the cover
Add audio cue when scientists are surprised
Makes surprising scientists less inconsistent
- If scientists hear footsteps approaching while reloading they'll hide somewhere else
- Fix scientist still being allowed to shoot when surprised
- Fix scientist being surprised too easily / often
Temporarily disable look at proc anim
- First pass on scientist patrol, surprised state, and better relaxed/aiming animation handling
- Fix aiming anim param being bool instead of weight
Use tags to network ducking / aiming / relaxed state of scientist instead of RPC or protobuf
Fix loot not working on new scientists
Use classic scientist mesh
Fix scientists seeing from their belly button instead of their eyes
- If running into the target by accident when heading to a cover, enter dogfight mode
- When hiding look in the direction the player is likely to come from
First pass on cover behaviour
- Fix scientist being stuck in search state (they were selecting the same search spot over and over again)
- Fix scientist searching silly spots after losing sight of the player instead of in a sensible direction
Temporarily disable friendly fire on scientists until we improve shooting logic
