But why using states over the current system (which simply chooses quotes after verifying some conditions) would you ask me? Because if NPCs have a state, more than their quotes can be affected: A Happy NPC will wander of the house more frequently and socialize a lot, A Grateful will stay closer to the player to socialize with him (which would be a lot of fun with the 1.3.6 emojis for players) but a depressed NPC will stay Inside their house, seated a lot and not socialize at all.2.17 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)Ħ7 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)ģ4 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)Ģ.5 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)ħ7 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) With those states (yet another hard thing to implement) the NPCs would actually really feel alive.

(unless overridden by Depressed or Upset)

This state will last until the end of the day and will shift into a happy state for another full day.

Grateful: Quotes refers to the player Victory over a boss (only when defeated for the first time in the world) by congratulating him and thanking him.

This state would last until the next day and can be overridden by other states (Grateful, Depressed, Upset).

Motivating: Quotes try to motivate the player prior to a boss fight (ex: 'Just do it!' would say the merchant when Impending doom approaches…) or try to re-motivate the player after a loss against a boss.

Also applies to female NPCs during blood moon as currently implemented. Applies to all NPCs in the town and lasts until the end of the day if the target NPC didn't die, or until the NPC respawns. Upset: when player kills/hurts an NPC using rotten eggs or Voodoo dolls.

Extended Movement: Jumping exists! Even almost cut-in-half Zombies jump so why not NPCs? In houses with platforms as door, they cannot move out!.

Even a simpler version of this would be awesome It may be hard to implement but it doesn't need to be completely like that. NPC could try to group together during fights and organize themselves: Melee in 'first line' and the rangers behind, NPCs with low health could have an emoticon showing they're Calling for help and they should run towards others NPCs to get help.

Cooperation between NPCs: Currently NPC only fight for themselves (except Nurse and Dryad).

Situationnal Awareness: Some simple details can make the difference… Such as knowing where monsters are around them or avoid to open the door during the night….

If this works on weak mobs, NPCs get completely defenseless if they are facing multiple enemies without cover… I would like to submit a few ideas to improve their efficiency in combat: My second concern in NPC fighting is their very basic AI which consists of mostly randomized movement and 'Stop and Attack' pattern.

And it also avoids NPCs getting murdered by the first wraith entering the house or so… Especially the guide which currently has very little upgrade in hardmode although he's the one supposed to know lots of things about crafting and surviving… 2 - Fighting with their head (not literally please, even if it would be hilarious) With this short example I just wanted to show how NPCs could become stronger alongside you, in order to feel like real people helping to player. There's no point in improving NPCs post-moonlord because the game doesn't get any harder at this point… But maybe in the Future.

Post-plantera: Hallowed Repeater (-increased use time ~2s) + Jester Arrow.

Post-mech-bosses: Cobalt/Palladium Repeater (-increased use time ~2s) + Jester Arrow.

WoF killed -> Hardmode: Gold/Platinium bow + Jester Arrow.

Skeletron defeated: Iron/Lead bow + Flame Arrow.

EoC defeated: Copper/Tin bow + Flame Arrow.

Game's beginning: Wooden bow + Wooden Arrow.Currently town NPCs only upgrade their weapons when going into hardmode, but only there… Here my example proposal for the guide: The system would allow NPCs to get weapons adapted to the current world's 'level' and it would be based on the player's Victory over key bosses. I wish NPCS could gear up alongside your current boss progression. NPCs and fighting… 1 - Gearing up alongside you.
