Last Man Standing with Monsters

[Swank]

So I finally got my monsters to attack bots but there's something else I want to know. During a last man standing match, if a monster kills a bot, the bot will surely die but he does not lose any lives. Is there a way to have the game think a bot died from another player thus taking a life away?

[EvilGrins]

Yep. This is why I use MonsterSpawn in LMS. So campers can get killed by monsters (cuz nobody can resist shooting a random monster) and they have to move from their hiding space without losing any lives.

I kinda like it.

I set it to not spawn monsters in for about 5 minutes; average LMS match lasts about 9 minutes... and I select monsters that're tough and good at killing folks:

Most of these monsters don't spawn for me. Am I doing something wrong?

[OjitroC]

You have MonsterSpawn203 installed? (There is a later version 303 which supports a greater number of lists)

Do you have all those monsters installed (they are in *.u files)?

If bLogSpawnedMonsters=True, then your UT.log will tell you which ones did/didn't spawn.

[FXANBSS]

Note: The last MonsterSpawn version is 304.

I has 100 lists, and you can put 60 monsters in every list, so you are able to put 6000 monsters on it, still not enough to put all the monster universe on it.

Most of those monsters you probably don't have.

I didn't know there was a newer version.

Swank clearly doesn't but obviously I do.

I don't know that i need quite that many monsters for LMS. I only spawn in like 4 or 5 at any given time.

[Swank]

Well I tried some of the monsters in your list EvilGrins, they definitely do the job of killing bots but it still doesn't cause the bot to lose any lives, they only lose lives when they are killed by other bots, which is kind of a shame cause I enjoy the idea of everyone battling while having to avoid an enormous entity somewhere in the map.

[EvilGrins]

That's the beauty of them, they can kill players in LMS without taking away their limited number of lives. Hell, when I'm low on health I sometimes let a monster kill me so I still have all my lives still and full health as well.

If you want a monster to kill players that actually takes away their lives, try this:

summon unreali.skaarjplayerbot

That works quite nicely! While we're on the subject, do you happen to have an aggressive monster of some sort that has an insane amount of health that I can use sort of like a raid boss during a game? I've been using Titan's and Queen's, which work great but they don't put up well against focused fire.

You asking him if HE has some strong monster to put it in a map?
You must be new h... oh you are.
Grins give him the Reaper I'm certain he'll like the challenge.

Yeah I am new xD I'm also the type of douche who plays monster hunt maps with dispersion pistols only

But yeah, I'd like to meet this Reaper.

I had 2 different ones in mind, the ElectricKrall & the MHPredator...

@Swank - that's the wrong Reaper - what you want is the GrimReaper - in the Attachments to EG's last post.

OH right! I assumed I already had the monster because of a reaper file that I had. But damn, this guy is strong!
