why do you keep bringing it to unrelated threads

#

let the conversation stay about the topic of the thread

#

it’s probably because it doesn’t alter gameplay and only affects the screen which causes the effect to be related to the eyes, and that doesn’t work on ai because they don’t have real eyes

Maybe I could add more stuff to greater guard update?

#

About this

#

But yes it should atleast stun them

#

Any other item that only works on players probably should work on guards

#

But the new blizzard grenade doesn’t actually work on guards either technically

#

Since they never sprint to begin with

How did this get deleted from my most recent kick?

Well ig it doesn't matter.

Summary The Flashbang from Ballistic has no effect on AI, specifically the Guard Device. I do not know how this effects other AI, like wildlife or the NPCs.

# tacit torrent It should atleast stun them

i think what it should do is temporarily set their accuracy to the lowest possible for t he duration that the effect lasts on a player’s screen to mimic not being able to see where theyre shooting

#

also if they’re alert and you hit them and leave their line of sight before the time of the effect ends, they won’t tell which direction you went

Its kinda difficult to create a "blind" AI because it doesnt even see in the first place

The guards can’t run

#

So how would you use a blizzard grenade on them

untold crescent
#

They can but only when "tamed"

#

You mean hired

#

They do

#

Well then I guess it’s useless against boss guards then
