Npc crawl

[clever fulcrum]

When an NPC can’t walk or run anymore, they should switch to crawling to escape danger.
• Trigger:
• NPC loses ability to walk or run due to mobility loss.
• Behavior:
• Switch to crawling animation.
• Move toward cover, allies, or a safe area.
• Slower movement speed to reflect crawling.
• Why This Works:
• Adds realism and variety to NPC reactions.
• Makes encounters more tense without using any graphic elements.
• Encourages players to adapt their strategies.
• Comparable Example:
• Similar crawling mechanics have appeared in other games (e.g., The Last of Us), but can be adapted here in a style that fits the game’s tone and rating.

If the ai only knew what cover and safe areas are…

[clever fulcrum]

Safe areas would be like crawling towards a teammate or trying to put a wall in between him and the threat which is completely possible

Teammate like another npc from the same faction if they do npcs like that

I’m assuming that’s what your asking about

I love this idea and if they could switch to a knife or pistol so they are not completely useless

i feel like this should be a varying thing. Not all soldiers would have the guts to keep shooting in a state like this, some would try to crawl away
