AI System?
I think an AI that allows NPCs to move on their own and perform actions would be nice

example, NPC on AI could pick items up on its own, and walk around, occasionally doing an enemy check, or maybe an NPC AI would find a grenade, and be able to throw it at another NPC, just a thought

That was part of the original concept, if I wasn't seriously busy with IRL I would be prototyping AI people for this. I have yet to discuss this with Craicnskulls but it might be something better off as a compatible "side-mod" because its on a whole different level. In my past experiments with AI, I have learned something: The more dynamic an environment is, the harder and more time consuming it is to make a convincingly competent AI system.

There might be a way! use the active humans mod, I havent tested it but it might work.

Yeah which really sux because thats such a perfect mod. I think you can use it if you only spawn the active human person and I think I still saw some conflicts happening.

how about using Reactive Humans? Of course they have no skins support but its worth a shot

I'm working on an AI mod here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2803192317

I haven't tried it along with Puppet, but it was the original idea to get them to work together

They worked together for a bit, though a bit jankily. You could point a gun at them and the AI would switch to "DefendPerson" and start shooting back, but they wouldn't attack automatically. It doesn't seem to do that anymore, though.

Yeah, you're right about that. I haven't been as focused on the compatibility as I have been with their own interactions. It is still a goal to have solid interaction with people/androids outside the mod but I felt I was doing it an injustice by adding the hacky bad patches of code trying to keep that working when I was updating the core parts so often. I think its better to wait til we get a solid foundation set up and then add the compatibility back. Hope that makes sense, and hope you dont feel burned by that decision. I believe they could be a lot of fun together if dont right.

*done right

Oh no I absolutely don't feel burned about that, glad to know what happened though, I wasn't sure if I was just doing something wrong on my end or if it was actually changed in the mod.

I really like what I'm seeing so far, and don't mind waiting. There's other mods like Reactive Humans that scratch the itch in the meantime, I like combining it with PM to make fun little levels to play through.

there is already a mod for this. It's glitchy but it works pretty well. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2163278857
