Ready Weapons
 

Are there any methods to make an NPC equip a weapon right from the beginning? As far as I have seen, the NPC editor only allows to add a weapon to the inventory of a NPC.

As far as I know, not at this time. That is something that falls under the auspices of the yet undone combat AI.

DC will look at whatever weapons a NPC has and will ready the best one. Same with armour. Or at least it should according to the code I'm looking at. :)

I just did a simple test and the NPC did ready the melee weapon, but not the armour.

Seems to use missile weapons first, right?

Re: Ready Weapons
 

yes, the combat engine readies the most powerful range weapon and if not the most powerful melee weapon, and IIRC it will pick a weapon over a stronger no weapon attack. The current combat AI is very simple.

Didn't test missiles, just melee. :(

In any case, it will not use items or equip defensive items like shields and armor..

I assume that if there are no long range weapons, the best short range weapon will be equipped even if it is cursed, right?
