I disabled insanity rapid fire for the future

spare citrus
#

Oh hmm that's a good point.

#

I wonder though, in general I just check if the player has an item they are holding and if it has a light source. So it really shouldn't be that since it's a very generic and flexible implementation.

marsh tartan
#

Even though my light was forced on by ghost codes it's possible The Locker's ai detected it as being turned off

spare citrus
#

Doesn't make much sense though because the way it works is when it activates it has to have a position to target. So it can't activate without moving really.

marsh tartan
#

Fair, it could have been the newer version of reserved causing issues too, flip is currently working on reverting the code due to all the bugs with reservedslots v2

#

I'm not really sure

spare citrus
#

Reserved works too though. I target base game flashlights and I have tested with the reserved light slot too.

marsh tartan
#

But it was just there idle and the eyeball and stuff wasn't active

spare citrus
#

Same as walkies since they emit a faint light as well

#

Huh. That's weird.

marsh tartan
#

and I couldn't get an error

#

Yeah

#

This was on Titan btw

spare citrus
#

Because I did see a bug someone had where it activates and then instantly stops its lunge when the navigation wasn't using the ingame system yet but I haven't had any issue with that since I updated that.

#

Outside of it being messy on some stairs and not finding the navmesh off-nodes

#

Which I still don't know why it doesn't but meh it works mostly

#

Anyway let me know if it happens again and maybe have something to record it ready?

#

Appreciate the feedback and troubleshooting though!

marsh tartan
spare citrus
#

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

marsh tartan
#

Yeah it was just sitting there lol

spare citrus
#

That should have killed you. I literally had a moment like that yesterday when I was playing where I turned a corner with a flashlight and because of the new reactivation mechanic it murdered the hell out of me 😅💢😠

#

So yea this is weird. Never seen it do that before.

#

Would have been such a good content moment 🥲

marsh tartan
#

Ikr when I saw it I was scared but then it didn't come for me

#

XD

marsh tartan
#

Well they seem to be working now lol, I had 2 spawn on Offense

#

Fucking Offense XD

#

I also set custom weights for Rend, Dine, and Titan since those planets were excluded in the config, I set Titan to be 100 like Offense

spare citrus
#

Yeah Offense has the highest spawn weight at the moment 🙂

marsh tartan
#

Titan is already deadly

#

LOL

#

may as well add more to it

spare citrus
#

Cool! I wanted to make sure that I wasn't encroaching on the normal spawns people expect when they go to those moons. So they're still as deadly as usual.

marsh tartan
#

I did 75 for Rend

#

Rend honestly has the least enemies spawn by default, so I don't mind having a higher chance of the Locker spawning in

#

Cus it lacks Thumpers and hoarding bugs

#

I will say they always manage to jumpscare you when they work properly cus they're always in a rude corner and I appreciate that aspect

#

😂

neat vigil
#

though which moon would Locker just thematically fit the most

#

or dungeon*

marsh tartan
#

I mean it fits all of them imo

#

It's more of a trap type of enemy like mines, turrets, and boombas

#

It fits everywhere

#

honestly I'd also say you could look at it like a Reverse Coil Head too, you wanna avoid looking at it or using your light near it

rough kelp
#

can someone explain this config to me? as it's set up currently, does it mean that it will spawn on all moons with LockerSpawnLevels as moon-specific overrides, or does it mean that it will only spawn on the moons in LockerSpawnLevels?

image.png
spare citrus
#

Yes it will spawn on all moons with a weight of 25 but for the specific moons listed below such as offense it will have a weight of 100

rough kelp
#

that's what i thought but wasn't sure

spare citrus
#

No worries! If you have an idea how to make it more descriptive let me know. I wanted to give people the most control so there's the global option of enabling/disabling it etc and then fine tuning

rough kelp
#

probably change it to something like "(These will override the level set config option on moons you list"

#

also, just as a frame of reference, how likely to spawn is the default value of 50?

spare citrus
#

Good point. That's easy enough.

#

I've encountered it like once every 4-8 moons. But this enemy is a bit different in that it could be spawning more often but because it doesn't move on its own you'll never know if you don't explore near it.

rough kelp
#

alright, i had it set to 25 for our session last night but we didn't encounter it at all, so i'll bump it back up and see how it goes

spare citrus
#

Set it to 100 globally and you should have a mostly fun time every now and then.

#

But keep in mind it's best when it's sparse I think. As when you encounter it you don't plan for it and it's a real threat.

rough kelp
#

yeah, i think having enemies appear too often ruins the shock value. brackens and coilheads sneaking up on me still makes me jump every time because they're pretty rare

#

that's why i wanna find a good balance for this

marsh tartan
half goblet
#

I think I have it set to 80 on my list

marsh tartan
#

the planets it currently has set as 0 I may up to be 25

#

There we go

image.png
#

I thought I set Dine to 75 but I think I made it 100 cus Dine is just evil Rend

#

Lol

#

I'll set it to 75 just cus

sour crest
#

It probably seems rare because I don't think it moves after it spawn right? only charges forward during attacks and dungeon sizes do get big

glass island
heady heart
#

Maybe it should slowly roll around the interior?

unreal wedge
#

that's what originally thought it did tbh, but only if the players aren't too close to catch it moving

heady heart
#

Yeah.

crystal quiver
#

I could see it rushing down a hall randomly if it's been inactive for too long, just to change areas

verbal current
#

if i want the locker to spawn on any moon with the default chance do i need to blank out the LockerSpawnLevels?

image.png
heady heart
#

Yes.

#

It will spawn on all with default too. Just those moons on the list will have unique chances.

forest bolt
#

this mod is really great, scared tf out of me, 10/10

eager cedar
#

I've been having issues with the Locker never spawning on any modded moons I've added except Infernis (value of 70). Do I need to manually add it to the LLL config for it to appear? If not, any ideas why it's not spawning?

rough kelp
#

i assume setting it to all adds it to every moon. i still have yet to see it in our sessions but i have no idea if that's because it's rare or if it's because it's broken

eager cedar
#

Yeah, I have my SpawnLevelSet to all and I've only been able to see it on Infernis thus far. I ask about the LLL thing because I only see the locker having a spawnchance set on that moon specifically.

#

70 is the highest value I've used thus far and it's weird that I never see it.

woven delta
#

would it be possible to add a reactivate limit config? like, making it so it can only reactivate three times at max?

#

maybe also a setting to make them not fully follow lights, but instead always reactivate atleast once if they were triggered by a light instead of a scan

marsh tartan
spare citrus
#

We're talking pure probabilities here though. Obviously can can in a freak chain of chance have it activate like 10 times in a row at 50% reactivation rate. It's just very unlikely.

woven delta
#

reason i was asking is because i want the chance to be high, like 75%

theoretically, with bad enough luck, it can reactivate infinitely at a chance of 1%

spare citrus
#

Sure. But I think that makes out the scare of it now. The fact that it can always reactivate and keep you on your toes. At least now I find it engaging even after having made it myself and played around it for countless hours.

woven delta
#

this is a good point

#

i suppose i will keep it at the base 50% 👍

spare citrus
#

I don't think that should get limited personally.

I also think flashlights and lights in general should be dangerous. The play there being turning them off, finding an alternate route cutting off line of sight quickly etc

#

Walkies now being a liability is also nice. It means that there are legit downsides to running certain things vs feeling safer.

#

Thought I'd share these in here by the way. Some concepts of the Locker while I was making it.

woven delta
#

woahhhh

#

first one seems to resemble the final version the most

#

second one is silly

spare citrus
#

At that point I had it modelled mostly so I was working with generating some different variations of the possible textures. If anyone wants to reproduce the workflow it's embedded in the images and can be imported into InvokeAI

marsh tartan
spare citrus
#

The 4th one was where I really wanted to play around with the more angelic/confessional concept a bit 🙂

#

I'd have to apply those designs though and obviously create them for it though. I'm curious still; I saw a lot of comments under a video about the mod saying it doesn't fit the art style but I don't quite understand how it could be made to fit more without diminishing some of it's main concepts and style 🤔

marsh tartan
#

I hope you enjoyed the clip I sent btw, I was on Vow there I came across SCP999 and was like "Yay friend" then proceeded to get quite literally jumpscared by The Locker 😂

spare citrus
#

Oh I missed it let me go check really quick!!

marsh tartan
#

Yeah it was right after I had experienced SCP999

#

LOL

spare citrus
#

Hahaha

marsh tartan
#

So btw I didn't know they could hear walkies

spare citrus
#

Yea I didn't think of that at first either. But the walkies emit just a little light for it to consider them a light item.

marsh tartan
#

Ahhh lol

spare citrus
#

I kinda like that though? Plays nicely into the concept of it responding to signals or stimulus 😎

marsh tartan
#

I've not had a single issue with their ai breaking ever since disabling ghost codes insanity rapid fire mode btw, Idk why ghost codes made their ai not detect shit when it went nuts

woven delta
spare citrus
#

Sure I can still do that. Not a high priority right now though 🙂

I normally do that on my repositories to not have to check in images into version control since that's bloat

I rather then check in the source file for that image since that makes more sense!

True, old habit to use issues still 😉

Lmao I learned not to taunt a Locker

I said "I'm not afraid" then it proceeded to charge at me 3 times and murder me

the locker doesn't seem to try and chase if you get around a corner

solid yacht
#

not sure if this is a glitch but most of the time when I use the locker he doesn’t move very far, stopping like right in front of where he last was. he doesn’t go far at all

#

like just stops so quickly

#

kinda sucks because I wanted him to be more of a threat in our plays, charging at us

woven delta
radiant nimbus
#

Same here

#

It moves like a meter and then stops lol

mint pulsar
#

same happened to me today

spare citrus
#

Huh, I mean it should overshoot your position but it should stop around where you saw it. If you move backwards it can’t get you unless you’re getting chased with a flashlight or when it reactivates

#

And it won’t chase you around corners

for some reason i dont see any locker spawning, here's my config

#

and also, they dont appear in LLL config as well, not sure if it's a bug or not :P

eager cedar
#

example:

#

Most modded moons that use LLL for some reason don't have it as a default in the enemy spawn list, so you'll have to add it manually.

locker seems to not do very well with doorframes

gritty kite
#

Locker is my favorite custom monster

spare citrus
#

or example 🙂

past sand
#

Weirdly enough I think it was struggling with office

#

It might just be the way you're changing animations

#

Are you using a trigger or float? Float would definitely work much better here

marsh tartan
#

I also had issues with it in SDM going through a doorway recently

#

It would lower how far it could charge

solid yacht
#

it did that one glitch where it went forward a bit but then moved back a bit

spare citrus
past sand
#

I'm assuming you're using an animator controller

spare citrus
#

It’s based on the distance to its destination

#

Or if it hasn’t moved in X amount of time

past sand
#

Well something is either making it pick the wrong destination sometimes (could easily test this with checking the line agent) or its false detecting that its stopping

spare citrus
#

I think that’s it really.

past sand
#

The way I'd have done it is using an animator controller where the trigger for changing animations into opening up etc is when the agent speed falls off a specific number after it starts a chase state

spare citrus
#

At least what I have been suspecting but in my one day of specifically testing that I wasn’t really able to figure out which part of the navmesh agent was screwing up. I think whatever this issue is would also fix the stair traversal

spare citrus
#

I’m fairly certain I’m using an animation controller but like I said I don’t think that’s the issue here. More something with the navmesh agent then

past sand
#

Hmm something must be going wrong with the navmesh then ye

spare citrus
#

(Haven’t worked on it for like a week or two and my brain is full of other things so I’m not sure unless I check if I’m using the animation controller or another component 😉)

past sand
#

Lol

#

The easy way to check is adding the purple line to the agents destination from your enemy so you can see where it thinks the destination is

spare citrus
#

Thanks for bringing it up though. Just need to go back to testing the navmesh things.

Speaking of which; do you have some snippets to easily visualize agents and the mesh while in game? I saw there are debug methods but in my brief testing I didn’t try to use them.

past sand
#

It could be that it's trying to set another destination whilst moving to the first destination, which cancels both destinations

past sand
spare citrus
#

Awesome thanks!

past sand
#

Code isn't originally mine, I got it from @real pewter :3

#

But this should help visualise the agents pathing

spare citrus
#

Bookmarking this! Thanks for the help!

mint pulsar
#

I've been able to scan the Locker on multiple occasions without it detecting me. Is this normal?

past sand
#

I dont think so? Scan range might be higher than detection range if you're far away maybe lol

copper herald
#

Detection range is busted tho, iit should be like 90m

mint pulsar
#

I think it there was a pipe in the way but still

rough kelp
#

this mod currently conflicts with LCVR, the locker reacts to dead VR players

does the locker naturally spawn on the tier 3 moons

because our crew usually goes there

i cant seem to get the locker to spawn, even when setting it to it's default settings, or cranking it to maximum on experimentation

#

(not a joke i am being fr)

#

i have it in a rather large list of mods, but nothing in it should be messing with it, as it messes with no other modded enemies.. is there any mods that are known to cause spawning issues?

burnt moat
#

I also seem to have an issue getting it to spawn

wet nacelle
#

this has to be one of the best mods ive seen this games entire lifetime have the blessing to have. amazing work dude, absolutely amazing

#

i got it to spawn. no clue why it took so much to do lol

burnt moat
burnt moat
#

I finally also got one to spawn by going to an eclipsed experimentation with Experimentation:99999 in the LockerSpawnLevels section of the config. Any chance the weights are being applied incorrectly? I feel like with 50 weight I should have seen one in one session the last couple of days

#

I had my LockerSpawnLevels blank, gonna try it with that config section filled with every moon set at 50 weight and see if that fixes my issue

Yeah that'll be it 🙂

I can check if the value is empty and default it to something then.

#

That makes sense!

burnt moat
#

Having to list every moon with a weight is slightly annoying😅 and I only have 24 modded moons

#

Once Wesley's gets ported to LLL😭😂

spare citrus
#

Actually now that you mention it it should work if it's empty so that's definitely a bug. Thanks for reporting it!

burnt moat
#

I used the LockerSpawnLevels to do a better job of testing. But with 50 weight I still feel like I should have seen one

spare citrus
#

Keep in mind too that it's a bit of a different enemy that doesn't roam on its own. I've pointed that out to other people too that there's no indicator whether it is in a level or not and it can also be in some dark corner somewhere 😉

burnt moat
strong sonnet
#

Its good now, still really unsure why it was weird like that

#

I love it alot tho, works as a pseudo "jester" type enemy where its a big scary thing only on certain moon types, but i use it specifically for the realitively "easy" moons to give players an advantage/disadvantage to playing it safe when filling low/mid quotas

#

(Not that it is the same enemy by any means, moreso that i put it on every moon the jester isnt)

marsh tartan
#

@spare citrus Can you update The Locker for V50 support? The power level setting needs to be changed from int to float

spare citrus
#

I intend to! Though im waiting for dependencies to update as well.

#

I see LethalLib patch finally got released in some way. I’ll have it out before Monday.

#

But im in no rush because v50 isn’t officially out yet

marsh tartan
#

That way it's a quick patch that makes it compatible with both V50 and V49

from rosie's moon

#

considering thats a bug to get it to spawn i was gonna fill it in as i also had it blank

#

but dunno if i need to fill all the spawn rates for all the maps individually or just put something like "all:50"

marsh tartan
#

@spare citrus Is that update for V50 compat still coming out? ;o

spare citrus
#

Sure, but I have a busy life at the moment so it's not my number 1 priority.

marsh tartan
spare citrus
#

I see some compatability patches have been released for dependencies. I'll check later.

marsh tartan
#

💜

spare citrus
#

Yup, fair!

marsh tartan
#

From what I can understand you just need to add the check for the power level to be int for V49 and float for V50, or you might be able to remove the locker using a power level tbf if you feel it's not necessary for you to use it

#

Since you already allow adjusting the weights and how many can spawn at max

spare citrus
#

It's not as simple as that I need to rebuild asset bundles and my dependencies in Unity are completely broken at the moment and I don't know why.

#

Otherwise I would have had it already out.

#

Ahhhhh

I feel that I feel that

#

Poor Xu had their scripts for their GiantSpecimens mod corrupt yesterday cus of Unity and they had to fix it

#

That's exactly my issue too.

#

And it's not regenerating them.

#

Yeah idk why Unity is breaking stuff rn for everyone, I'm guessing it was updated recently and it's being a pain?

marsh tartan
#

#

@past sand What did you do to fix Unity being a butt with your scripts?

spare citrus
#

Did the engine version get bumped by the way? That might be the issue.

#

That Zeekers builds to.

marsh tartan
#

Idk it may have

#

There an easy way to check?

past sand
# spare citrus That Zeekers builds to.

Nothing changed with the Unity engine or stuff like that, I had couple hiccups on my side because I changed the name of my dll once, then I added lobby compatibility as a dependency and that reset the scripts too

Am I missing something when it comes to updating to the latest version. I hadn't done much but I copied over the newest version's assemblies and gave it a whirl but now things don't work and it's not even rebuilding them.

That's odd, just try deleting that one, verifying ingame files, and copying over the new assembly csharp

Yea it's why I have them all linked. I can see them inline in Visual Studio then.

#

huh wait

#

nevermind

past sand
#

And you're sure the filepath is correct and if u follow the filepath you'll find the dll you're referencing?

#

It might be easier to copy the dlls you need onto a dll folder that you gitignore and just keep updating that folder whenever you need something new

#

Like a dependency

spare citrus
#

I originally stood mine up from another project somewhere @past sand. Deleting this caused a lot of issues so maybe bringing it back or updating will fix things to a degree.

I'll need to fix that, but it's from the wonderful hamunii's example-enemy template

I use it for everything lol

# marsh tartan Yeah I'm just crossing my fingers that doing that works

Thanks for being so excited about getting the mod working with v50. Once I hear back from @real pewter I'll see what the next steps are. And once this is figured out once - and documented - it should be far easier for me to do this in upcoming versions.

Timing with other work right now is just sorta bad because I have a super booked month having started in a new full-time position and also taking another project to completion part-time so it's just really busy rn.

Looks like the project builds again. It's super late right now to continue working on this - but I'll see that I keep progress going tomorrow between work hours.

#

Seems like I can build again. However I lost a bunch of metadata during the conversion process I'll have to re-do and piece together such as the monster entry etc. I'll try to capture this from the previous version as closely as possible but it's a bit of a pain.

Also I think the config is fairly nice. It's a rather standard format after all.

the power level needs to register as int if it recognizes v49, and float if it recognizes v50

Doesn't work like that sadly. The new version of the game has changes to other things too such as the EnemyAI. I can't just make it accept arbitrary types from both versions when compiling.

Yeah but I already told you it's nonsense :p

#

The setting of power level is done in Unity, stuff like that isn't handled by the mod dev

#

Unless they do some shenanigans, but all int values would be accepted as float values because while 1.5 can't be considered an int, 1.0 can

Well I mean a couple mods managed to make their mods work with both V49 and V50 so I didn't know what all it needed

I'm aware of an issue right now that it doesn't move when another player or more are connected. For some reason on the client it will think the Locker isn't on the navmesh. Not sure why.

#

I think it would have something to do with the SetDestinationToPosition calls.

#

[Error : Unity Log] "CalculatePolygonPath" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh.

#

Seeing this on clients. I feel like it has to be the culprit since if the client disconnects it works again.

past sand
#

Wait you use ClientRpc there?

#

Are you sure you need to Rpc this stuff?

#

If you look at my code I don't Rpc anything

#

Except animations

#

And I do use SwitchBehaviourToClientRpc to switch between states but that's just an EnemyAI function

spare citrus
#

Yea I'm not using the enemy as state because I realized that existed after I had implemented my own state machine.

So I'm doing the RPCs mainly for the Locker state

## 1.1.2 ##

- Add reaction to hit events
- Fix Locker pathfinding getting stuck
- Fix path calculation if off navmesh
#

@past sand The issue stemmed from the fact that I was now using AI Intervals. Someone pointed out that at 0 it technically infinitely intervals vs the expected outcome of not updating through the intervals. This meant that touching doors could crash on custom moons through a stackoverflow.

I fixed this but it also introduced the problem that now it technically had the game take control of it and use its update functions causing it to rubber band from my code updating the position and the base game enemy AI updating it too, and having to play nice with the properties there.

So not really a code issue but rather having to adapt to using the built-in system on an enemy that really doesn't fit that system.

#

It was kind of funny, when I first moved it over to having the default interval of 1, all the Lockers started moving around on their own which was a bit uncanny lol 😄

past sand
#

thats interesting lol

spare citrus
#

I don't think other modders will encounter the same issue because probably in 99% of cases enemies will use the built in behaviors that Zeekers has.

u know what i just realized

#

this mod is like

#

the mimic mod if it wasnt questionable game design

#

actually intuitive and fun addition

winged matrix
#

huh? lol

little pine
#

they're both inanimate objects that attack the player by opening the door and "eating" them

#

the locker is really mechanically interesting and can even be useful for breaking locked doors down

#

the mimics are just kind of
artificial difficulty?

#

theres absolutely no skill involved, its just, either notice the difference or die

#

or bring a shovel

#

or enter from exit

winged matrix
#

isn't really a mimic honestly

little pine
#

no not by design or concept but mechanically it essentially just functions as a properly designed version of that enemy imo

royal viper
#

😭?

little pine
#

the way the mimic works just
kinda Doesn't
and our entire group wanted it removed and we agreed the locker was a really cool replacement for it

#

i just really like this enemy

drowsy rapids
#

mimic and locker are like 2 diff things whar

little pine
#

i mean yeah my entire point is that the locker works better because its different i think it just approaches the idea of a player eating box better lol

#

i think the mimic mod is really well made its just that conceptually theres not a ton you can do with the idea to make it be a fun addition to the game

#

unless its like your thing then that's cool too, just imo

royal viper

I ain't gonna lie

That sounds kinda stupid

ok?

thank u for the input

royal viper

They don't even have the same goal or even function the same lol

#

the resemblance hard stops at "box-like that consumes"

little pine
#

they're both objects that are usually inanimate that were changed to be entities that kill the player

#

i feel like that's pretty broad

#

when the fuck have u seen a locker with wheels

#

like when u first see it u dont expect it to start moving at first unless you've already seen it beforehand

#

because the thing just looks like a locker

dense bough
#

buddy nobody thinks the locker is imitating something. No one goes like "Oh look a locker, let me pick up some loot from it", unlike a fire exit which is "Oh look a fire exit, im lost perfect way to get out, oh noo its a mimic!

#

idk i got some pretty cool first reactions from it, i recorded my friend walking up to it and for some reason it didnt move at first but then it turned around and ate her lol

#

never said it was imitating anything

lockers are usually inanimate idk if u knew that

thats why i like it better

dense bough
#

different visually

#

but i mean you can have both, its kind of weird to compare them

i just feel like the locker accomplished the surprise element that mimics were widely praised for initially a bit nicer without being nothing more than a mild annoyance after playing against it for a few runs

#

Just to chime in and give a take for both sides: The Locker is definitely different from the mimic as a mimic doesn't synergize with other enemies for instance. I tend to think of it more as a hazard that can turn into an enemy.

Just like mines and turrets aren't too bad with, neither is the Locker. Until it is due to other circumstances 😉

#

Do you have an All or Vanilla?

#

In the list

royal viper
#

I have everything default (minus max amount of spawns and volume)

#

Which would include an all

spare citrus
#

What's your global spawn weight at. Because when you set LockerSpawnLevelsSet to all it will apply the LockerSpawnWeight to all moons which by default is 50. If you set LockerSpawnLevelsSet to none, only your overrides are enabled.

#

For clarity (and I should make this clearer in the LockerSpawnLevelsSet description) these two values are linked technically.

qzNDDFT.png
royal viper
spare citrus
#

I think renaming it to LockerDefaultSpawnWeight and LockerDefaultSpawnLevelSet would make that clearer.

#

And then LockerSpawnLevelOverrides for LockerSpawnLevels

#

I think I was basing these off of other mods that had similar nomenclature but I should definitely have improved on that 👍

#

I'll see that I release a patch with that in it later. It's a low lift and I have gotten questions around that before here.

#

If anyone wants to sign-off on this being the right/better description let me know 🙂

royal viper
#

I'm either missing something or it's a no because it doesn't spawn at all with it set like that

spare citrus
#

It already uses it. It acts as an override of the previous "default" values

#

So with the default config, the Locker never spawns on vow or march for instance, even if all is set and spawn weight is 50.

royal viper
#

I think i'm still missing something because it was still able to spawn on vow and march like that

Hense why Scanning, flashlights, and walkies, all set off the locker

urban rock
#

on what maps does the locker spawn? does it also spawn on Wesley's Moons ?

spare citrus
#

The way I "interpreted" it was that it responds to touch. Think of it more as awareness to a degree. A flashlight shining at it makes you aware of it so light kind of falls in that category. The scanner is also a sort of touch on it. Though I extended that to be more around objects with light so walkies fell into that category too. So it's a bit of a grey area.

I don't think generic electronics fall into that though such as the boombox.

#

The boombox could be a goofy gameplay implication that I can see fitting into that, but then you'd have players in general thinking it responds to sound which I don't want to happen.

#

It ain't an indoor eyeless dog after all and I want it to remain in its niche since that's kind of what you all seem to enjoy 🙂

copper herald

#

urban rock
spare citrus

It should spawn on them if the spawn level set is all

copper herald
#

So the enemies scanner also falls into touch?

spare citrus
#

Yes.

#

Especially since it's kind of a wave that's visible to the player.

#

Think of it more like a sonar.

#

Which is also indicated by the fact that it takes a second to hit the locker

#

copper herald
#

And the jetpack as well

#

And all of LethalThings + other mod's electronic devices

#

I'm just saying from a gameplay perspective

#

You activate something near a locker

#

locker activates

#

You shut off that thing Locker stops chasing

#

Gamer brain says = Electronic devices is how this entity detects you

#

So Im kinda surprised the only powered piece of equipment that does not trigger the Locker is the boombox

#

Not because it can hear the boombox

#

But because I thought it could detect active electronics

#

In that case, maybe allow Lockers to be distracted / activated with flashbangs, according to it detecting "light" @spare citrus

spare citrus
#

I agree. I think electronic devices mostly fit into the lore of it.

#

Since a lot of the other ones technically already do it

#

I think the flashbang fits as well

oblique cape
#

I would LOVE if flashbangs sent it into a random frenzy
Funny and scary as hell

there is so many times i would flashbang it near one of my friend just to cause chaos

marsh tartan
#

@spare citrus can you look into the LockerSpawnLevels not working in the config? @royal viper has experienced an issue where regardless of what it's set to it sets the weight to around 30-40

royal viper
#

It goes down after the first spawn wave or w/e it's called too which is funny but that's probably not abnormal(??)

In terms of modifying their speed, I don't believe so, no. There shouldn't be anything I have that affects enemies that way.

It's definitely a mod conflict issue since I tried it by itself. I'm trying to figure out which one.

spare citrus
#

Okay whew that’s a relief at least

spring sleet
#

Okay I can't figure this out. Even if it's by itself, it does behave strangely at times like it wouldn't lock onto the player correctly (pun not intended). Like if you scanned across the hall and then move around the corner, it would stay in place; move in its line of sight, and it zooms toward you. And idk if it's a mod conflict or not, but it tends to rubberband a lot even if it should have been able to go toward the player. Someone skilled in coding would have to look into that; I tried process of elimination but I can't pinpoint.

The locker seems to get stuck at spawn. It's Ai will detect the player and activate its animations, however the animations are very wierd. It seems it is unable to path to the player. It turns to face the player and is unable to procede.

When it tries to charge the player can visually see it move towards them in a very janky teleporting way. Then it Snaps back at the end of its charge to its initial position

When it happens, the Locker will instantly close when starting a chase because it can't navigate to the next node on the mesh as it's not on it.

Driftwood enemy looks cool! And yea speed is not really an issue here. I think it's the fact that it doesn't play into the normal behavior states the game expects.

Alright. Well you can already enable that mostly via the following.

  • Set AI Interval to something that's not 0.1 (It'll move around on its own by doing this)
  • Set speed to 0 in dormant, reset and consuming state calls
  • Set speed to X when chasing where X is whatever speed makes sense
  • Set the built-in AI behavior target player on chasing state call
  • Unset the built-in AI behavior target player on dormant, reset and consuming state calls

#

I think the part about states that isn't explored well enough in the guides

spare citrus
#

So that's why it has its own state machine for instance

past sand
#

Is that you need to put the state names in the same order you have in code when making them in the Unity project for the enemy

#

So if u have the following states defined in the following order:
Chase
Wander
Die

#

You absolutely need to make sure the Unity project enemy has those states

#

Otherwise it fucks with desyncs majorly

spare citrus
#

Well, lucky for you... I don't use states

#

lol

past sand
#

I had that problem for a while lol

#

You should :3

spare citrus
#

I know I know

#

You could probably port it over to the states fairly easily. Still a few hours of work though.

#

Since it's just refactoring left and right

past sand
#

Shouldn't take too long, I've made like 4 or 5 enemies by now with the similar/Same format lol

spare citrus
#

Yup. Once you're locked in you're good hehe

past sand
#

Yeee

#

I need to finish this then get back to working on my big project hehe

spare citrus
#

I'm going to send you the Unity Project still. Contains the nodes and other things you'll need since you'll want to export the asset bundle I believe if you are using states

past sand
#

I'd ask if you're interested to help work on it but you might be too busy with irl stuff kek

past sand
neat vigil
spare citrus
#

I don't think so

#

Only thing I can see is eventually you'll have a map full of them

#

Because the ticket system is just going to keep spawning them as they don't take away from the level's power

neat vigil
#

spawn limit will still work

#

yea?

Oh right

@spare citrus @past sand

How goes the locker fix?

past sand
#

Whenever zeals gets a breather and decides to go through it, I didn't do much personally

wanton crescent
spare citrus
#

I’d have to test this specifically with secret labs. I can do that this weekend maybe.

#

I just launched a new startup product so I’m super busy with that alongside my day job

#

I’ll see that I make some time tomorrow night to get it fixed before the weekend

spare citrus
#

I started messing with the changes @past sand and there's a few new things that are buggy now so I'm going to need more time for this.

Nothing against the changes, it's just it's not a drop in replacement 🙂

past sand
#

and EVERYTHING against your code, the amount of switch states for states makes me sick 😭

spare citrus
#

It's not bad. It's just the game gets to do its things now 😄

past sand
#

yeah fair

spare citrus
#

You'll come around to switches one day

past sand
#

i have ONE switch statement for all my states

#

that's all you need 😭

#

two things, A. i have no clue how you managed to make the locker work to begin with.
B. same thing actually, i dont know how you made it work

spare citrus
#

I have two switch cases by the way lol

past sand
#

you have like 6

#

just counted, 5 lol

spare citrus
#

It's whenever I work with an enum it's like normal to do that though and good practice 🙂

past sand
#

nooo its nooooot

#

i just dont understand how such a simple enemy takes sooo much code

spare citrus
#

You're free to answer that question by making it from scratch yourself 😄

past sand
#

the redwood and driftwood code combined are smaller than the locker 😭

past sand
#

that was the original plan tbh lol, but still it would've taken a bit of a while lol

#

but yeah i hope you can actually figure out how to make it work

spare citrus
#

I agree it's unexpected that there's so much code but it also has completely different behavior

#

I know you're just goofin tho. Unless 🤔

#

🤔🤔🤔

past sand
spare citrus
#

Knowing what I do now about the things I would make it do and effects it would have, I would add more functional decomposition and probably work more with Coroutines since that's fairly standard for Unity scripts but outside of that I'm fairly happy with it

past sand
#

yeah its mostly about coroutines and stuff like that

#

this is just how i do things lol

image.png
spare citrus
#

It's a Unity convention though and I hadn't done anything with Unity in years so I kind of ignored them.

#

Yea great decomposition there!

#

Exactly what I am talking about. So it's in smaller chunks and not nestled in the main reactive functions like Update etc

#

Absolutely agree with that point! 💪

#

These are the main pain points

#

Update, FixedUpdate and SwitchState

past sand
#

plus i do a lot of things through animation events rather than calling it in code, problematic in some sense if the animations go wrong but could be okay if the code is foolproof Kek

spare citrus
#

Yea!

#

Another thing I wasn't really working with or aware of when I started. Good point.

#

Are you studying CS by the way?

past sand
#

i will if i get into the uni im trying to, but im relatively new to coding though

#

so might not get in

spare citrus
#

Well fingers crossed for you. You seem to have enough experience to beat the other candidates for the first few semesters!

past sand
#

it's probably just me getting used to copy pasting stuff than actually figuring things out xd

spare citrus
#

Honestly, back when I was in university most people didn't know how to code at all. Was a big reason I dropped out because the people I was studying with were morons.

#

GPT is your friend, as long as you understand what it's doing.

past sand
#

ah geez lol, i use that maybe like once a couple weeks if theres something i have no idea of implementing lol

#

though i've been trying to get these particles to work for hte last hour so i might just ask gpt later what im doing wrong lol

spare citrus
#

Yea I don't really use it for coding but beginners I have worked with find it really useful. And sometimes it's good at explaining a random issue.

past sand
#

hmm true

spare citrus
#

What are you trying to do with the materials?

#

Or rather what's the issue

past sand
#

i got em from an asset thing in the unity store, supposedly im supposed to just change the shader into one they give and it'll fix the particles for HDRP, which is what LC uses

#

but it just doesn't match what they show in the pictures

#

this being the image

How_to_change_rendering_pipeline.png
spare citrus
#

yea that don't look right

#

And you set the shader in the top right?

past sand
#

yep

spare citrus
#

😵

past sand
#

maybe i need to change the texture type or smthn? no clue tbh

spare citrus
#

Actually looks fine there though doesn't it? Outside of the preview having a different background.

past sand
#

well this is what the particle system is giving off rn lmao

image.png
spare citrus
#

Ah... yes

#

I mean it looks mostly fine

past sand
#

yeah amazing loooking explosions Kek

spare citrus
#

Well whatever conversion it's doing it's messing up the alpha channel is my guess but I feel like there's a few other things going wrong here.

#

Time to make your own shader let's go

past sand
#

one day ill bother learning that

spare citrus
#

ShaderGraph and VFXGraph are fairly fun tbh

past sand
#

im sure it is, i just have a lot of stuff i wanna add before i mess with misc stuff like that

#

not sure if u could tell on the background of the screenshot

#

but im almost done with my new weather type lol

spare citrus
#

Aha, a meteor shower huh?

past sand
#

yep

spare citrus
#

(Great idea)

past sand
#

it works pretty well in game so far

spare citrus
#

That's awesome. More content like that please!

past sand
#

yeah i love sticking to content only mods lol

spare citrus
#

It's in the same vein as Locker and Malfunctions; things that could already be in the game. And weather is definitely something that modding has overlooked so far (Outside @jagged field doing things) 😄

#

How easy is it to create a new weather type?

past sand
#

pretty easy, the only problems with weather is the api side of things

spare citrus
#

I can imagine

past sand
#

lethallib does to some extent, enough so that i can make a weather

#

but not enough where a moon creator can apply the weather into their moon

jagged field
#

i literally have no time to do the stuff I want to, sadly

#

but my (planned) system would enable doing that very easily

#

anyone else having a problem with the locker making 90 degree turns and homing in from far distances around corners

from what i have seen it seems like its supposed to be a straight line charge, but it turns to follow the player when it charges, and has been nearly impossible to dodge and avoid

I thought it was supposed to try to chase you for a while though?

Though it should be facing the angle of velocity which is a little weird

I can look into this when I take a swipe at updating it again

# 
# 1.2.0 #

- Rewrote state management to be mounted on the game's EnemyAI system to improve stability and mod compatibility
#

Thanks @past sand for the initial rewrite and motivation as well as good feedback!

#

This should hopefully fix any issues anyone is experiencing with the Locker stopping instantly.

I've also played with the mod over the last two weeks online with friends and offline as well and never been able to reproduce it doing this behavior anymore so I'm about 99% sure if it does happen it has to do with another mod.

modest fox
#

is the locker being able to kill old birds intended?

winged matrix
#

uh

#

I dont think they're balanced around being outside the facility so lol

modest fox
#

ik lol

#

i was mostly asking cuz its unkillabe

royal viper

Old Birds have the tag that makes it killable iirc lol

#

It just can’t be hit

modest fox
#

oh lol

spare citrus
#

Umm… why the Locker roaming outside

#

Goofiest ass enemy ever then. You guys know there’s a reason I don’t spawn it there hah

#

But umm… does it kill the Old Bird? Just asking. For science or something.

#

(Just so we’re all on the same page: I’m not patching any issues with it being outside unless there’s a really good reason for that)

past sand

Does it home in on Old Birds because of the light source on face?

#

Hey, so I have a small issue with the Locker dude

#

The Locker enemy spawns, but then is stuck in some place

#

If I scam or use a flashlight on him, he does the animation that he's supposed to but doesn't move

#

Everything works correctly, he just doesn't move at all

#

Any insight into this would be appreciated

slow sinew
#

small suggestion, but i'd love a slight silver lining to encountering lockers, i adore its gameplay design but i've noticed alot of people who i get to play modded with me sorta dread encountering it since it's real aggressive compared to alot of other monsters

#

something small like a cheap piece of scrap you could get through interacting with it somehow would help w/ perception of it alot imo

#

or if you wanted something slightly more nuanced, this was an idea i had

image.png
#

would create a bit of risk/reward to baiting them out (the trail would stay behind and could potentially assist with travel throughout the day), and make times when they charge several times in a row a bit more engaging to deaL w/ imo

drowsy rapids
#

I mean its not really aggressive if you dont scan / flashlight

slow sinew
#

'aggressive' in the sense that not being able to scan is fairly oppressive compared to many other monsters

burnt moat
slow sinew
#

i mean yeah i don't think adding a silver lining really like

#

detracts from that

#

but it's comparable to how butlers and nutcrackers have upsides to them

#

or hoarding bugs

#

scanning really isnt that crazy im ngl

All I know is that it's an enemy mod that's causing it

Or an enemy fix mod

I have I think 5 enemy mods and more or less 6 enemy fix mods

#

What are these enemy fix mods?

ionic yew
#

I don't remember them nor can I access them rn
But I know most or all of the enemy mods I har

which can lead to emergent gameplay where you take advantage of that by having them lead you to their nest, killing them, and getting a free pile of scrap

thank god locker cant break doors

5L0Ammf.png
past sand
#

Uhhh

#

it can?

muted vale
#

cant break the school ones apparently

#

is this something the dungeon author should do compatibility with?

winged matrix
spare citrus
#

Yea this is not something I'm going to add support for. It boils down to this: Right now there's no generic door component in the game. What this means is I can't really check for objects that are doors. Instead I have to check for objects that have triggers and are called doors.

Additionally, I have to then do a hacky way of destroying them by going up the found object's parents and deleting those. If a custom mod does this incorrectly, it can mean that I delete like a whole room for instance which can happen.

Until Zeekers makes doors generic, this is going to be an issue going forward that interior mods will have to work on making compatible. I think the best approach is to take the existing interior doors and swapping out their models, keeping the name intact.

# 
// Get all doors in the level and check their distance to the locker while chasing.
DoorLock[] doors = Object.FindObjectsOfType(typeof(DoorLock)) as DoorLock[];

foreach (DoorLock door in doors)
{
    if (!door.isDoorOpened) // Ignore open doors.
    {
        if ( // Check that we're in range of a door.
            !door.GetComponent<Rigidbody>()
            && Vector3.Distance(door.transform.position, transform.position) < 3f
        )
        {
            Utilities.Explode(door.transform.position, 2, 4, 100, 0);

            Destroy(door.transform.parent.gameObject);
        }
    }
}
#

This is how I check it right now. Essentially I have to look for "Door locks" and then get the door lock's parent. I think this works mostly, as long as modded doors have a door lock component on them.
