Prevent Kolobok behaving erratically when hostile to the player
In vanilla game, if you attack Duty Base, Kolobok just stands with his hands up.
In SRP, however, he starts running around his bar like any other stalker with no weapon.
He should get a weapon, and then it's fine, even if I don't think you should have an option to have the weapons out at the base. However, since there are Fraction wars, he should have a weapon and then it would be fixed.
His behavior is unmodified from vanilla. He flees whenever !is_smart_in_combat(agr_smart_terrain_1_6) and he has detected a danger source - most frequently the player. I accept that his behavior is erratic and should be improved.

You do not seem to understand. When you attack the base, he stands still even WITHOUT a weapon, just with his hands up. In vanilla the same applies to two more people on the same location: Thrush and Aydar. SRP also implements that behaviour for Lambee.
However, as far as I understand, this behaviour does not activate when Duty's (or Stalkers') Base is no longer attacked. I suggest replacing this check to just checking if the weapon is pointed on these guys, because further things happen with vanilla implementation:
-
If you have slugged the whole Stalker's Base but important characters (then game thinks the point is no longer attacked), Thrush will start doing all of his animations with a gun. If you start pointing your gun on him, he'll do the same no matter if you're neutral or enemy with him.
-
If you have slugged the whole Stalker's Base but important characters (then game thinks the point is no longer attacked), if you start point your gun on Aydar, he'll just stand in.... this pose, probably because he has no gun. He'll do it no matter if you're neutral or enemy with him.
-
If you slugged the whole Duty Base but important characters (then game thinks the point is no longer attacked), if you start point your gun on Kolobok, he won't react if you're neutral (you may interact with him as if you haven't attacked Duty Base. However, if you're hostile to Kolobok, he'll start fleeing instead of surrendering.
If their hands up behaviour is intended by GSC, but does not activate in some cases, I think it's more of an oversight (probably to prevent this from happening when player is not attacking Duty's/Stalkers' Base), and I doubt that fixing this would be enhancement.
@Decane, what do you think?
Yes, I know that. However, I never go hostile against any fraction, since I can easily have a lot of money by selling artefacts. Also, I have never seen that behavior expects that one soldier in the Cordon because of that.
