MM2: Why do Hookmen hate being chased?

Postby Doof4294967296 » Sat Jan 03, 2015 9:29 am

So I tried to follow some hookmen in cruise mode. After a short while he go crazy and went somewhere else instead of finishing his scripted waypoints. After that he go stuck up beside a building near plaza and bumps himself several times until he get damaged out. What is the meaning of these? the opponent players still continues no matter how long you follow them. But the hookmen? Anyone experienced this? :roll:

What's a hookman? Is it like Freddy Krueger but with hooks?

Wasn't it an AI car that was in some file somewhere and could be activated changing a few lines? I remember there being some mods that used this :?

Do you mean a traffic vehicle chasing a player, ramming it and then stopping. And then moving after a short while.

No guys you don't understand hookmen are AI cars like opponents that are considered not included in a race. And they are also Invisible in the map. hookmen are not traffic cars either. They are included on a race aimap.

Take a look at my roam.aimap_p:

Are they what are used to simulate the bandit car being chased by Sheriffs from around Soma around the city and down past hyatt in Classic Madness? I always found that the Sheriffs got damaged out just as they exited the highway.

They follow the race but don't show up as opponents on the map, no purple triangles, no purple triangle floating above the cars, sort of like a hidden opponent.

I didn't know these "hookmen" existed in MM2, despite having messed around with roam aimap files for cops and opponents. :o
