I cant get the fleeing to work.

I have tried

AI::TASK_SMART_FLEE_PED(peds, playerPed, 100.0f, 100, false, false, 0);

AI::TASK_SMART_FLEE_PED(peds, playerPed, 100.0f, 100, true, false, 0);

AI::TASK_SMART_FLEE_PED(peds, playerPed, 100.0f, 100, false, true, 0);

AI::TASK_SMART_FLEE_PED(peds, playerPed, 100.0f, 100, true, true, 0);

 

But the NPCs only turn their back on me but keep standing still.

When using the cowering task, it looks like NPCs are doing squats (they cower, get up, cower, get up,..):

AI::TASK_COWER(peds, 50, 0, 0);

AI::TASK_COWER(peds, 50, 1, 0);

 

I have also tried this method, but it makes NPCs run in one direction, crashing into trees, stones, objects, etc.:

AI::_0xE86A537B5A3C297C(peds, playerPed);

 

Does anyone know how to make a ped flee or cower properly?

I've used this one successfully (_TASK_SMART_FLEE_STYLE_PED):

 

0xFD45175A6DFD7CE9(ped, pedToFleeFrom, 3, 0, -1.0f, -1, 0);

 

It is also important to note that fleeing behavior can be altered using flags, but I don't think those are documented yet.

So, which native?

 

 

Oh, I thought you were already trying stuff, sorry.

 

 

I have not used these functions, so I cant give any instructions on how to use them, unfortunately 😕

TASK::TASK_GO_TO_COORD_ANY_MEANS(ped, coords.x, coord.y, coord.z, 1.0f, 0, 0, 786603, 0xbf800000);

TASK::TASK_FOLLOW_NAV_MESH_TO_COORD(ped, coords.x, coord.y, coord.z, 1.0f, -1, 0.5f, 1048580, 40000.0f);

These are the ones I'm using. The params are: ped, coordinates, speed, timeout I think but not use, don't know the rest...

1.0 is walk speed, 2.0 should be jog and 3.0 is sprint.

edit: oh the parameter after the timeout I think is how close they're supposed to stop to the given coords. 0 is exactly the coords.

Yes, I guess something like checking if he's moving with TASK::IS_PED_STILL and waiting until he stopped should work but you can also do a sequence of actions like this:

 

int changePosSeq;
TASK::OPEN_SEQUENCE_TASK(&changePosSeq);
TASK::CLEAR_PED_TASKS(0, 1, 1);
TASK::TASK_FOLLOW_NAV_MESH_TO_COORD(0, guardPos.x, guardPos.y, guardPos.z, 0.8f, -1, 0.05f, 1048580, 40000.0f);
TASK::TASK_ACHIEVE_HEADING(0, guardPos.h, 1500);
TASK::TASK_START_SCENARIO_IN_PLACE_HASH(0, MICS::GET_HASH_KEY(scenario), -1, true, true, 0.0f, true);
TASK::CLOSE_SEQUENCE_TASK(changePosSeq);
TASK::TASK_PERFORM_SEQUENCE(ped, changePosSeq);
TASK::CLEAR_SEQUENCE_TASK(&changePosSeq);

I use this in my gang hideouts to make them move around and do stuff. Put zeros in the sequence in place of the ped handles, only use the actual ped in the perform sequence line.
