hello，this script cannot be downloaded by steam,can you deal with this problem ?

Trying it now with an updated ACE no medical, ravage and remnant. I'm a B_survivor_F and I hear sounds like its doing stuff but I don't see anything and I take zero damage from it. The screen effects work however.

Hello, could you help me with something I have in mind, all the credit will be yours. I would like to make a locust invasion, to make it difficult to see the troops momentarily (only a few minutes). I appreciate each of your works, they are really impressive.

Why can't I use green smoke grenades to hurt insects in the mission？

Have you considered doing something similar but with piranha fish? Obviously it is an anomaly that only attacks when you get in the water.

Hey Alias.

Loving the script, but is there any way to set the swarm to only target specific sides/factions/units? What about units with or without specific gear (such as HAZMAT suits, etc)? If I wanted, say, evil scientist goons to be immune to these lil' buggers, how could I go about doing that?

My first thought was to modify the targeting system with a "if east then exit with null" style filter, but I just couldn't get it working. What are your thoughts?

va tu continuer à faire des script ?

I was wondering whether this method could be used to create bird flocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4f_1_r80RY

ah i see, thats fine, are bullets particuarly effective?

@Guardsman Miku
Not atm, for now any weapon can hurt it

is it possible to set it so a specific weapon can hurt the swarm?
For example KA weapons pack adds a flamethrower which would be cool

@ALIAScartoons
Thanks for the reply, im not educated on the debug console but i shall watch some youtube videos and try to figure it out. :)

NOT THE BEES AHHHHHHH

Another idea is to allow swimming to be a safe haven for player or AI. If player in a swimming animation, then swarm moves off to next easier target. I actually did that once to hide from yellow jackets (the bees, not the protestors!). No problem if you don't don't follow up on the suggestions, as your attention may have already moved on to your next masterpiece!

overthis very nice Idea, easy to use and something new.
some ideas: More Spawnlocations
Swarmer only attacks you in a circle of 50 meters (I tried to change it but dont work)

Thks, hope to see more like this.

@hüttenkäse
Could be the issue, the script is not made with ACE in mind, so anything similar with ACE damage system might not allow the script to work.
At some point in the future, when time will allow it, i will make my scripts ACE compatible

i found out: It only works in vanilla and some Mods. stalker or other Mods which uses health systhems wont work.

@hüttenkäse
Make sure your character is within 1000 meters from anomaly. Do you use any mods?

But i can see them

I´ve the same Problem. I changed the Damage after this manualy in al_hive, did not work either.

I did. Works fine. Transposed the script to another mission on another map and it failed.

@dushka
Test the demo mission in LAN and see if you have the same issue

But no doubt I have done something wrong :)

Sound is not the problem. Seeing the insects and getting damage is. All folders are in the right place.

@hüttenkäse
If i will ever find the time

@Johnnyboy
Awesome suggestions :) I will consider it for the next update

Another genius contribution. Thank you Alias! Love the depth of features (swarm temporarily going for blood pool, insecticide option, etc.). Suggestion: Consider weaponizing the swarm, so a player or AI can induce (or aggravate docile swarm) via a smoke/gas grenade. Player tosses gas grenade, and after a delay, swarm is attracted to the smoke grenade position, and then hunts nearby prey. Could make for interesting scenarios. May also want AI to react to swarm in various ways (panic running, panic firing, run to water or vehicle).

really nice, can you make an official mod?

@dushka
You have the sounds in the right folder and their path defined in your descritpion.ext?

Hmm - have transposed this to a mission of my own and testing it in LAN. I can get sound. I can get vision. I can get swarm attacking (though it seems fixated on the actual Player) - but no damage, no blood. Nothing. All the files are present

PREY

Micheal Crichton?

@Kestrel
You can run the script using the debug console and executing in global

Is there a way to use these in zues at all? or integrate some of these scrips into zeus?

bzzzzzzzz mf!

Funny and interesting. Really creative. Thanks
