That's kind of how I originally imagined it actually. Would you need to get rid of them before looting could start? Yes. Walking around trying to loot cars, pulling bodies out of them, etc, would be pretty hazardous if there were a couple of grasshoppers trying to eat you. I think they'd have tobe either gone or running away before looting could start. So we'd have to be careful not to make it tedious or too common.. Aren't  most creature timide and shy of noisy gun fight? Would there not be a good chance to be away from them by the time the scout ended? (and would they not scatter away?) I think if there were a couple left at loot close by they wouldn't necessarily attack, if there were much more then yeah think it's credible. If we have to fight every creature on the map to finish the event, the novelty would wear off fast. True a few of the stupid kind might be more problematic than the others. ......................... vet marshal wv pvp3 zom circuit2 pvp1 cont Posted Dec 2, 2010, 8:09 pm Last edited Dec 2, 2010, 8:11 pm by *Tinker*

S282571 Server is still up and some of the creatures have 0% activity but don't seem to die. I had a similar issue, s282014.  A few of the crabs would not drop down to 0%, nor was I able to harm them further.  It seemed as though they were shielded by being half in the ground.  When I realized that I would not be able to damage them further, I looked to find other reasons the combat would not end, even though all enemies were demo'd.  Turned out that there were a few of these beasties hanging around underground out of sight, and one was actually chasing a fleeing enemy.  While I enjoyed the hazards the creatures presented, it was annoying to have to wait for the creatures to decide to end the combat. ......................... vet wv Posted Dec 8, 2010, 8:27 am

I'm guessing the problem is with worms and slavebugs? These are the two types of creature that I had marked as "likes to attack cars", and I think I made them attack too often.

Changing the calculations now.. Yes Sam, I believe you are correct.  But not only do they attack too often, there are A LOT of them spawning.  At least twice on two vehicle solo scouts, coming upon 3 to 4 NPC cars, there were at least 8 to ten of them.  And I think it only took 3, maybe 4 hits before the 8 points I had on the top of my Apache was reduced by 7 points, and had penetrating damage hit one of my gangers (luckily it was only a minor 4% wound)...  I love the concept, but they shouldn't be even more difficult and time-consuming to kill than the enemy NPC vehicles you come across in a scout, IMO. ......................... vet wv Posted Dec 9, 2010, 4:24 pm
