NPC Invincibility Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

I'd like to know how to edit specific NPC files so I can make them invincible; like Spartacus, Kovalsky's team and Strelok. AFAIK Noah and Topol (I don't know about his squad, though.) were made invincible in version 2.1/2.1.1(?) I am not sure which. I already have my Pripyat squad invincible, just wondering if I can do the same for some NPCs. Also Lassie, the first time I head to Noah, she was already dead... Can anyone lend a hand please?

Nothing you can do will make them invincible. God mode doesn't even do that, it merely makes you heal nearly instantly. A decent head shot or explosion and you are dead anyway. Noah and Topal et al still die. Anything you did to change the base NPC stats, upon which all but a few story NPC's share configurations, would make the opponents just as death resistant which would defeat what I assume to be your purpose (achieving a particular story board ending).

Just make all but your own caliber of bullets do zero damage. That would leave only the risk of mutants killing them and make fans of the mod barf.

Damn, I see. Just wanted to see if it was possible to make certain NPCs have invincibility, although I read somewhere before that it's possible to edit their health? Anyway, if its impossible either way, I'll just deal with it. Thanks for the quick reply!

Only in the game engine, where characters like the traders were created invincible, is it truly possible. Again, the base NPC model is used for all NPC's and the same things which kill you if you are using god mode, would still kill you. If we could apply the 'Beard' character configuration, at least until certain story portions are completed, we might. Then again, the Zone is a dangerous place, and it might still suit us to leave them vulnerable

We made Noah as resistant as possible, even giving him myopia so he would not perceive enemies beyond his door step, and he still manages to get killed.

Understandable; I also did notice Noah's myopia in his character files again, thanks for the reply!
