Wyrms of Nyrus

The Gestalt Update

0.3.7

THE HIVE JUST GOT SMART.

• Wyrms now have the Gestalt System.

  • Wyrms naturally gravitate to players over time
  • Goes off of "infamy"/"attention" value in world
    • The higher this value is, the faster wyrms will congregate around players
    • The stat naturally goes down faster when it is higher, but goes down slower when lower
    • Once infamy is activated by a value change, it will never drop to 0.
    • Infamy is capped at 100
    • If infamy is capped at first, infamy MUST wait some time before it falls before.
  • When wyrms are close enough, they will aggro onto players regardless of being in direct line of sight or not.

• New configs within AI file (Gestalt category):

  • "Total Awareness" (true)
  • "Total Awareness Range" (8/16/20)
  • "Infamy Enabled" (true)
  • "Infamy Decay Chance" (20000/25000/30000)

• Wyrms, if attacked while one is normally attacking, will engage upon an attacker regardless of what type of wyrm they are.

  • Before, if a warrior was attacked, only warriors would pick that target.
  • Now, if a warrior was attacked, rovers, soldiers, and rovers would pick that target.
  • Hive Creep will respond to calls from Nyral Wyrms, and Nyral Wyrms will respond to calls from Hive Creep.

• Wyrms will try to intelligently pathfind through locations

• Wyrms can now follow from 40 blocks away

• Creeped can now follow from 25 blocks away (To avoid massive swarm issues)
