What level of control should we expect while working with NPC characters in FPS? How will you issue orders to your NPC?asked by Caelitus Carnifex
I want to be clear, in the initial release of the FPS module there will be no AI or NPCs, just multiplayer. The next versions of it will allow you to do a horde mode with outlaws/marines. We will obviously have NPCs in FPS eventually, and the commands that you can issue them will be not too dissimilar to the ones we're working on for Arena Commander which is like wingmen commands, like attack my target, cover my six, cover my wing etc. There's the equivalent for FPS, attack my target, breach this door, go here, etc. Hopefully the NPCs will listen to you and do them, as they have their own AI they might not ALWAYS do them.
