Scared NPC ?

First time out of the vault
Hi !

I have just entered the wanamingo mine with Cassidy armed with shotgun.
I was surprised to see that he was not shooting at coming wanamingos. Is it possible that he will not shoot at the wanamingos and i have to do it alone?
 
Most likely, he recently had one or both of his arms injured by an attack or possibly weapon malfunction. Before you enter the mine, try using the doctor skill on him. I don't really recall this minute detail, but it might say that he is crippled in the examine box in the lower-left side of the screen when you look at him, maybe it needs you to have the Awareness perk to tell you specifically where.
 
I have the awareness perk. It says. 92/ 92 hp, wielding shotgun, 2/2 ammo.
No crippled leg, or anything else, plus i have visited no pain doctor. Any idea?

And one more question.
There supposed to be a metal armor northeast to the elevator, but i can't find it.
 
No idea about the armor, but I would suggest trying your Doctor skill on him anyways. Use your saved game, try it a few times (might need to reload or rest to try more than three times), and if it eventually works, then good. If not, then I have no idea what might be causing it other than he's afraid, your Doctor skill is far too low, or he's possibly bugged. Try leaving town and see if he will attack anything else, or just shoot someone in town to see if Cassidy will fire the shotgun at anyone. :twisted:
 
Check Cassidy's combat settings, check if Cassidy has a path to reach a point from which he can attack, check that he has a valid weapon...

I seem to vaguely remember Cassidy behaving that way one time I was playing (incidentally, in the lowest level of the Wanamingo Mine and wielding a shotgun or a Sawed-off Shotgun), but I'm not sure whether he wasn't injured. Maybe the AI script is behaving in an unpredicted way.

I assume you don't have other NPC's to find out if they'll fight normally?
 
IIRC, Cassidy's combat settings can reset randomly. I always checked his settings whenver I give him things to carry.
 
I have seen this a few times in the wanamingo mines. I think that area is a bit buggy. Keep on playing and I bet you'll see that it only happens in a few places in the mines.
 
On the topic of bugged NPCs, i have had myron cease to speak to me and just walk around doing his own thing, loosely staying close to me. Any idea what triggered this?

Yes this seems to happen a lot. I keep configuring Cassidy to stay close, and eventually he'll switch to "on your own" distance and go charging towards mutants with miniguns :roll:
 
Could the above have anything to do with switching armours? I know that it's prone to happen in B-Team, where critter protos are apparently replaced when equiping an NPC with a new armour, but can this be the case in an unmodded game?

Also, maybe the level-ups cause this?

(Once I had Sulik mysteriously lose Super Sledge and a Powered Armour on level-up)

It happened to me with no mods at all, though I'm not sure it has anything to do with protos being replaced.

I'm pretty sure it has happened to me multiple times between level-ups. One thing I noticed is that the AI packet specifies these parameters (\data\ai.txt). Cassidy is called Macrae in there.

A few times I told party members to wait while I fought, and they joined the fight anyways. Also, I told sulik to wait while I fought the bishops, and when I went back to him he attacked me. We was hanging out with the pimps and prostitutes :lol: And he had a LOT of my loot on him, but I didn't have the heart to kill him so I just left him there. No lack of bugs in this game.
