Bot System

Vintage Story comes with some rudimentary interface to control creatures and humanoids through commands, which is mostly aimed for 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

Type one of either commands to execute a command right away

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

• /npc exec tp flexiblepos teleport to given position
• /npc exec lookat rad look in given direction in radians (0..2PI)
• /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 animcode players 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 start to start command list
• /npc stop to stop
• /npc loop to make the bot endlessly loop through his list of commands
• /npc clear will clear the command list
• /npc list show list of queued commands
• /npc remove [index] remove command of given index as shown in /npc list
• /npc upd allows you do modify some commands
