Followers automatically attack thieves
« on: May 30, 2010, 03:58:05 am »

If a thief fails an attempt on a follower should be attacked by that follower instead of it just standing there.

That doesnt cause the gaurds to... nevermind bursts do count only single shots that accidentally hit someone does is safe now.

they all use same ai comands then.. nightmare just nightmare
5 biggunmercs kill the failed thief
(you died too because you stand to close to him and after that the whole town
because they fired with fucking rocketlunchers. ok just singleshot ^^)

I think youre slave is your guard, it should have an option to guard you or "dont guard me" because its obvious they should do it. They should protect themselves and in case of stealing they should attack, well, ok 1 person may not see 1 thief but 3 or 4 and the guards are saying, in reality or in true wasteland the thief would be killed on sight, just think how courageous it is to steal among 3 of your guys :)

Lol

This is needed, but I have another possible solution.... not very Fallouty but...   What if we made mercs unstealable?

I think thats reserved for city guards only ;). Id rather see them unstealable by one of them bursting at the thief :P A good thief would see and had to practice when somebody is going around with mercs or not

Unstealable is way too much, everyone would just have a merc to use as a walking safe. I think retaliation isn't too much to ask. You think if you hired a bodyguard and someone was robbing him he'd just stand there staring blankly watching this happen?

heh. logical. but thats a game.. with 00011110001101001 and all ;)
in real(game)ty every thief just want to steal from your stupid acting mercs.

main idea cool.
feasible hmm ..

don´t remember the time before the great holy wipe?
that was implemented by some time but it caused many problems in balansing town guards AI.

the biggest bug was that when thiefs steal from your mercs, mercs start attacking and be killed by guards.

The thing is it doesnt do that anymore, if a thief steals from your or the mercs are stolen from and are caught your mercs CAN NOW attack the thieves without gaurds killing them.

I had an idea similar to this:

Followers attack the thief who stole on you
