Captive/Panic/Hostage

[Mamon]

Two part post; First in the Igor response menu you can set AI to Captive, Panic or Hostage. What is the essential difference between these?

What I want to do is have enemy AI run in a particular way, like when they are captured and following you. Is there a way to have them run this way, along a path and without having them following player platoon?

Hostage--> actor will use his weapon

Captive---> won't use his weapon

Panic--> makes him surrender

Thanks Stalker. Anyone have any idea on the second part?

I strongly doubt that, I never saw it in any mission that hostage use his weapon (if hostage behavior is set), just tried in my own ..it does not work for me, also it does not work in P2 mod p203_walking_wolf...if any of you can recall any mission where this work, please let me know

Hostage Actor/Team  use weapon.

Captive Actor/Team  no save weapon.

If it is an ally, the weapon remains with him, he did not check whether it will be used or not.

This works for allies in mission 4.

@RussiaGhost I know how to set hostage behavior, this is nobrainer..the issue is following:

as long on the beginning of the mission hostage has no weapon , once get secured and get the weapon he will not fire, just follow.

To get hostage to follow and to fire the weapon it was needed to set HostageActorOff before he get the weapon, then to set it again to hostage behavior back, additional plan need to exist with alerts, roe (suppress)
