NPC patrol speed

edited April 2014 in Foundry Mechanics & Questions
Hey, just a quick question. My NPC patrol speed doesn't seem to be affected by the number I put in the box. Right now they're zipping around like an olympic speedwalker on crack. Am I supposed to do something other than play with numbers in the box?

    I have no problem with looping patrol. I set the speed to 3 or 4 for what seems to me an average walking pace. It defaults to 10 I think if you don't put a value in, and it looks silly like a power speed walk.

    I am also having issues with this, The quest I'm working on currently requires a person to run away so I can chase after them, but no matter what number I put into the speed box it makes no changes to there walk speed what so ever.

    yap, does not matter what value I put there, always the same "walking" speed, but I really would need them to run fast

    I have been messing with this for weeks and as far as I can tell nothing I do makes a difference. I am testing it on looping patrol, one way patrol. Both have the same problem. I feel at this point it's just not working. I am still testing it with different animations set to see if that has an effect. Will post after

    I even put 0, 0.01, 0.00001, and 0.000001 and the NPCs still walk the same fast speed... lol...

    i went the opposite direction with SMALLER numbers.

    The ONLY thing that makes them slow down and stop is ... the way points.

    Let us say you put it on a looping patrol to A, B and C. The encounter will BRIEFLY stop at A, then run to B. At B they will BRIEFLY STOP then run to C and then at C stop and RUN to A and repeat.

    Yeah. They don't appear to. I haven't tested much, it's kinda a pain to test something that you can only see when you publish it, LOL

    Experiencing the same problem. I really want one of my NPCs to slowly stroll through a field of flowers, but he's stomping them all into the ground because he's on a mission.

    I'm chiming in on this issue as well. And same as most, I've got a chase quest and it's pretty funny that I can run circles around the npc until he gets to his destination.

    Now that you are talking about it, I noticed a patrol in epic level Idris instance that was zipping through the dungeon after the last patch, never noticed that in my first runs there weeks ago. Maybe they broke patrols everywhere, not just on foundry content.

    I have the same issues. At one point they use to run, then a patch happen and now they walk, but I could never get them to change speeds on either. I would be happy with just two speeds a walk, and a run.

    My first quest had a people running through my tunnels around corners it was really cool. Had to change it cuz it was soo funny watching them walk towards you. Like STOP THE INTRUDER!!! five minutes go by and he finally makes it to the end of the hall.

    Yeah wish this would get fixed.

    It doesn't work for me on one-way patrols using a wolf as the NPC.

    However, wandering speed CAN be slowed down with regular human NPCs (have not tried with a wolf skin).

    It was reported back in the Foundry beta and has never been fixed. I think the issue right now is that they risk breaking half the quests in the Foundry (including some of the top rated ones, mine included) if they fix the bug. Any nonstandard values quest creators have been putting into that box would come back to bite them in the proverbial rear.

    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a fix.

    They could easily fix it by simply setting every patrol speed in existing quests to 7.5fps. That's what the default is, that's what they are moving at now, so it would be absolutely no change to existing quests, and it would allow future quests, and republishing to allow authors to have a working patrol speed.

    Bumpady bump, would love to get a fix here. I so wanted to have the surviving horses run off after a fireball exploded close to them, but meh. They just slowly stroll away, horrified :p
