Create teams for NPC : AI Spawner Part 2. Have a dedicated team for NPC only!

Part 2 of Spawn NPCs video series all about teams: Define NPC teams that players can't join. Remove that team from scoring logic and give NPCs a name! This process is useful for controlling how NPCs and their teams should affect gameplay. I can't believe how many times I said "teams". Game on!

I have fixed the issue where the clients don't respawned and updated the github code! Took me a little while but was very satisfying to see Clients respawning! Here's the commit with the changelist (just moved 2 lines) github.com/NanceDevDiaries/Tutorials/commit/d0fb0db0bc420204bd0e00b112adc1c312740e1d

You are BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really amazing and helpful series. Part 2 just came out and I can't wait for part 3. Keep up the nice videos, I really appreciate them. Thank you! :)

[@blaqueaddonnisgames]

Wow seems like you are in my head ...lol I made 4 teams and all worked great but I really wanted to not include them in the death counter...This was a perfect solution ....Thank you!

[@BDMBlackValor]

This was awesome looking forward to part three!

[@hwd6340]

Thank you for your amazing work!!!!

C++ is my weakness But these tutorials Really Motivated me to try ,so Thanks!. Im up to speed setting the name of the NPC PAWN But Im going to keep them counting on the score board as Im trying to Just have players VS NPCSpawner bots. As I want to bring in a Custom VR character And to have the bots remain the same. and This tutorial Really helped make separating the the bots from the player character a reality. Now I just have to figure out how to make my character systems work with the lyra game modes and also Make the weapon spawners hand out either the standard weapons for bots or a custom VR WEAPON version for the player.. Huge thanks for doing these lyra breakdowns

Great, almost going to part 3 to create different NPCs, I am planning to create a Zombie game with Lyra framework and i want them to included in the Lyra ACS etc. Do you think zombie NPCs wit simple behaviour tree (around 30-40) in the map would be heavy/non-optimized for a game by using Lyra framework? I will create my own spawner & wave system but still going to use Lyra Spawners etc.

Hi , can you make a single player mode without time limit and spawn stuff so we can try story mode something like that, not able to find single video for that

[@nancedevdiaries]

Thanks for the idea! I'll make a note. In the meantime, to not have a timer or scoring you can make a Lyra Experience that doesn't add the B_TeamDeathMatchScoring and the B_ShooterBotSpawner to the game.
You can see those in B_ShooterGame_Elimination and B_LyraShooterGame_ControlPoints. For Control point, their scoring and timer is in B_ControlPointScoring

I have an issue with the very last part. there is a change from FGameplayEffectSpec* to FGameplayEffectSpec& and although i adjusted the parameters in the header file I am getting an error higher up in the cpp: HealthSet->OnOutOfHealth.AddUObject(this, &ThisClass::HandleOutOfHealth);
I don't know how to fix that.

[@afootgames]

In 5.4, I changed *DamageEffectSpec. to *DamageEffectSpec-> and it worked, hope that helps

[@LordsofMedia]

@@afootgames thanks. I will have to go back and look at what I did

[@Minecarftable]

@32:30 How would you give the NPC kill to the assister instead of just returning?
It would feel really terrible If you were in a though PvP battle and then a random NPC steals your kill.
I would rather the person with the assist be granted the kill.

[@nancedevdiaries]

In "OnEliminationMessage", instead of an early return when the actor is not part of a team, you could iterate through the "DamageOnTarget->AccumulatedDamageByPlayer" and give the kill to the last valid actor who damaged the actor, then the assist to the next one on the list. Similar to the assist logic also at 32:30
Yes, that would feel bad

[@Minecarftable]

Excellent can’t wait to try it when I get off work 😂

[@bicepius]

For some reason clients don't respawn even though GA_AutoRespawn is added to abilities. It works ok on the Server player (listen server) or standalone. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

[@nancedevdiaries]

Hi, I'm curious about this issue (there's been a few comments about it), I haven't had the time to go test/look into it and share a solution yet. Please share if you find a solution, I'll have a look, I'm curious :).

[@bicepius]

Hi Nancy, thanks for the reply. I'm still trying to solve the issue. It still does a countdown on the client through the widget and unpossess is called in code. But nothing much happens after that. I will get back to you if I manage to solve it.

[@bicepius]

@@nancedevdiaries Thanks for the fix!, I did manage to solve this recently myself but using a different method. (Re-adding 'CallOrRegister_OnExperienceLoaded' delegate to the PostInitializeComponents(), with an if check to only execute if the owning controller was a player controller). However I will certainly be using this fix instead though. Either way it all helps towards learning this behemoth! 👍
