xavier1 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 I know that Learner is working on having Ants hold grudges against people that attack them. On that same token maybe he could also have them help you out (fighting monsters only) for giving them food or items... I think that might get alittle tricky with the tradeing, but I think that would be pretty nice. You could have it so that the more expensive the gift the longer they would help you. P.S. The only down to fall to that is that the players can pk them and take there things back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted May 19, 2004 For those of you that haven't figured it out, the Ants are currently memorizing win/loss statistics on a per player/monster basis. They just haven't started using the information to know who to hate and how to react. So, you PK'ers keep on killing them. I hope tou can keep leveling faster then the Ants and don't run into a group of armed/armoed Ants! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roja Report post Posted June 25, 2004 What are you actually doing with the ants now Learner? I mean they've been up for a few months now... anything acutally going to happen with them other than walking around and picking up bags/lvling themselves up?

Learner Report post Posted June 25, 2004 Slowly getting work on trading (for Ants and Prattler) and working on their desire system for items they want (so that Ants can help each other out). I'm also trying to make sure they can and will go to more maps or they may never find some of the items they want. Later, I'll be adding them interacting with NPC's, so they can buy their own books. Hopefully you have seen that they can do some Alchemy already, but without the desire system in place, they don't go looking for specific ingrediants. They only make things if they happen to get the items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rebootedrock Report post Posted June 25, 2004 I thought that the ants program (some of it) would be used on NPC's that would walk around an d trade. Like a travelling merchant of sorts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
falcon2330 Report post Posted June 25, 2004 No, the Ants will NOT act like trade/store bots. It is very possible and Trading functionality is currently reserved for Store Bots (which are in the works as well). i dont think learner wants them to be trade bots.... or store bots.... er ... same difference :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
