SCP-173 [WORKING AI UNIT]

This is a working, scripted, animate and extremely hostile SCP-173. And it works in singleplayer, multiplayer, and with other AI

“The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight.” This includes all players and AI units.

SCP-173 comes in two different units, noblink and blink. Yes, there is a blink function attached to SCP-173 that waits a random amount of time between 4 to 8 seconds before blinking, so be careful when approaching SCP-173. That being said, if you bring a buddy, you drastically reduce the chance that you will be killed, but there is always a chance. It only affects players in its target range, which is default to 500m. If you have both a blink and a noblink 173, players will still blink, but will stop blinking when blink 182, i mean blink SCP-173 is killed or deleted. Blinking will affect all SCP-173s, regardless if they are noblink or blink.

SCP-173 will only target units in a 500m radius and will remain dormant if there is no targets. It will target anything that is not another 173, even if it is on the same side. If it gets to close, it will “attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull”, killing its target immediately.

Though players can control 173 and it will still work, it is a little buggy and I would not recommend it.

SCP-173 is listed under SCPs under almost every side in both editor and zeus.

Currently there is no ‘proper’ containment for the unit. However, you can lock it in a room and it will stay still.
You can also kill SCP-173 by means of placed explosives. Small arms are too weak against it.

-SCP-173 appears invisible in zeus as well as when nobody is looking at it. This is done intentionally as the AI seems bugged when the model is not hidden. Temp fix: make sure to add SCP-173 to editable objects before zeusing a mission.
-Missiles (Rockets/Shells) currently don’t affect SCP-173. This is an issue that the model creator has to fix, but I’m working on a work around.
-Possible performance issues. (MUH FRAMES)
-People with a different FOV can also see that SCP-173 is invisible. There is not much I can do about this as FOV sliders aren’t native to Arma.
-While controlling/playing as SCP-173, ace fatigue prevents player from moving as fast as SCP-173 as an AI. The only way around this rn is to disable ace fatigue if you have to use ace. This problem doesn't exist when SCP-173 is controlled by AI.

If you find anymore bugs or issues please report them in the BUGS!! discussion section. Make sure that said bug has not already been identified before posting.
