It appears as though the familar AI is constantly trying to take over while in combat mode.
You cannot cast invisibility on your eyeball and have it do a stealth mission without initiating combat mode as well.
Even if you assign the familiar’s special abilities to a quick slot, and stack a bunch of ray attacks, the AI will cancel your commands in favor of its own.
Beamdog had a discussion thread years ago about complete player control and intelligent AI, but the eyeball familiar is now unplayable and will still shoot inflict wound rays to heal undead.
Does anyone know if there is a way of toggling the new NWNee familiar AI off, or the name of the script from NWN Diamond that I can drop into the override folder?
The familiar AI runs off the following scripts:
[ResRefs]
OnBlocked=nw_ch_ace
OnDamaged=nw_ch_ac6
OnDeath=nw_ch_ac7
OnConversation=nw_ch_ac4
OnDisturbed=nw_ch_ac8
OnCombatRoundEnd=nw_ch_ac3
OnHeartbeat=nw_ch_ac1
OnPhysicalAttacked=nw_ch_ac5
OnPerception=nw_ch_ac2
OnRested=
OnSpawn=nw_ch_acani9
OnSpellCast=nw_ch_acb
OnUserDefined=nw_ch_acd
However, afaik, Beamdog never made any changes to those scripts.
