Bot System
This page was last verified for Vintage Story version 1.15.
Vintage Story comes with some rudimentary interface to control creatures and humanoids through commands, which is mostly aimed for video recordings. Here's how to use it:
Spawn in a bot
Only some creatures are supported, here's a list
/entity spawn playerbot/entity spawn animalbot-wolf-male/entity spawn animalbot-hyena-male/entity spawn animalbot-hyena-female/entity spawn animalbot-hyena-pup/entity spawn animalbot-chicken-hen/entity spawn animalbot-chicken-rooster/entity spawn animalbot-chicken-baby/entity spawn animalbot-sheep-bighorn-male/entity spawn animalbot-sheep-bighorn-female/entity spawn animalbot-sheep-bighorn-lamb/entity spawn animalbot-locust-corrupt/entity spawn animalbot-hare-female-lightgrey/entity spawn animalbot-piglet/entity spawn animalbot-drifter-normal/entity spawn animalbot-drifter-corrupt/entity spawn animalbot-drifter-nightmare
Select a bot
Right click the creature to select it. You can now tell it to execute commands or define a list of commands to execute in a loop
Instruct the bot
Legend: flexiblepos means either [x y z] coordinates as defined in the coordinate hud, absolute coordinates through [=x =y =z] or coordinates relative to the player with [~x ~y ~z], you can also do [~ ~ ~] do use exactly the players position.
Immediate
Type one of either commands to execute a command right away
/npc exec tp flexibleposteleport to given position/npc exec lookat [rad]look in given direction in radians (90° = 1.57, 180° = 3.14, etc.)/npc exec goto flexiblepos animcode speed [animspeed]walk to given position with given animation, given speed (normal walking speed is about 0.02) and given animation speed (default 1)/npc exec playanim animcodeplayers given animation. Valid ones for animals, if supported by the respective animal: hurt, die, eat, walk, cry, shamble, lowshamble, sleep, sit, listen, hide, idletwitch, drill
Queued
If you want to bot to run or remember a list of commands replace "exec" with "enq" to enqueue commands:
/npc enq [tp|lookat|goto|playanim] (see args above)/npc startto start command list/npc stopto stop/npc loopto make the bot endlessly loop through its list of commands/npc clearwill clear the command list/npc listshow list of queued commands/npc remove [index]remove command of given index as shown in /npc list/npc updallows you do modify some commands
