Hi, i'm sure you've seen some of my scripts. I've decided to start a large, complex AI script that will hopefully allow for some smart AI. I need some ideas on enemy tactics, here is a list of ideas I have so far that may seem plausible

Getting behind cover to reload
Working with other AI
Cloaking
Flanking
Suppressive fire
Aggresive
Caution if plr has a large gun

If anyone has any other ideas or thoughts, feel free to give them to me

Yeah, if a character sees you, and knows to shoot you, surely it can see a wall and know to change direction or stop running!

Perhaps an AI could get out of cover and charge at you when its health is low.

and like he seen you, but now you r in cover and he has explosives, it throws it behind your cover. or you opened a door looked and there, the seen you. you throw back. one of them has a grenade launcher. he shoots so, like the explosion wave hits plr, but not like total hit.

And u didnt believe i was russian

"always active" and "view cone angle=100"doesnt mean once you start the map they try to run through the wall to get you

Maybe they could throw grenades and go kamikaze when they're low on health.

try to get behind you.

(the best thing would be if you'd be able to give an enemy map knowledg to flank you or get behind you, but that's absolutely impossible.

Creativity is more important than knowledge.

The ones in Bold are purely impossible, no Gun recognition, and no way of setecting other AI very efficiently....

The Italics will be damned hard to do, I wish you all the luck in the world, but there's basically scripts out there that already do this, but without the cloaking......

alright, this didnt take long, but i've already run into problems, lol. I am having a problem with my cover fire script, the concept is that he ducks, rotates to player, then stands up if he has ammo in his clip, then if he sees you, he shoots then hides again, but he just stands stupidly, lol. Here is the script, if anyone can help, it would be very appreciated.



right now it is a standalone script, but when I get the other scripts done, I will merge them together (except for flank script)

-EDIT-

o btw, incase noone knew, I will release this script when I finish

No, because:

A) He'd already be dead if he'd been shot with a huge gun, (like a rocket launcher).........

B) SHOTDAMAGE tests accumulated damage from what I know, so I don't think that'll work.......

This got me thinking. I understand that characters can now explode. It may be fun to make a script where the character runs at you and blows you up. Then of course, someone will make a character with explosives strapped to him and we'll have both suicidal maniacs and hostages!

Best.

It would be cool if you pressed e on someone, they would say something, and then follow you everywhere you go. When you press e on him again, he'll say something again, and then stay where he is. There could be different phrases he could say randomly based on what time you press e on him. It would also be cool if you could put a certain script on certain characters and they're heads would turn and follow you wherever you go and maybe if you press e on someone who is busy doing an animation, he would turn his head to you and say, "What?" or something like that. Kind of like Half Life, Half Life 2, and Counter Strike.

Not really sure why people are busting a gut trying to do all this work with AI prior to Dark AI being introduced into the engine with the migration.

Firstly Dark AI will automatically improve FPSC enemy AI significantly aswell as providng true ally support and secondly once this has been introduced you'll be writing completely new scripts based upon the Dark AI commands so any enemy AI scripts written now will be obsolete.

ok then I'll wait for the migration.

The migration wont be out for months maybbe one more year.But when the migration dose come out it will be so damn buggy just like the fpsc 1.8 thru 1.11

Alright, here is a start of an enemy's main fpi...



Here's the prob i've got, Im using a trigger zone to play a sound when I press enter. The idea is the enemy hears the sound, stops following his waypoints, crouches and looks around. However, he stops on whatever animation frame he is on, and either slides onlong his waypoint, or stops his animation and reverses, going the opposite way, any thoughts?

-edit- just tested my shotdamage theory from above, it works as I would have hoped

I think you might have forgotten to use "waypointstop", when he's supposed to stop moving. That will keep him from moving along the waypoint.

Ply is right, adding that command, and probably eliminating the waypoint reverse command from this would be a simpler solution.

I have waypointstop under noise heard, so that when he hears a noise he stops... Also, w/o waypointreverse he would not keep pacing the same area... I believe

This is probably a shot in the dark, but try placing your state 1 lines above your state 0 lines.

After looking at the script for a little bit, this is what I'm thinking is happening:

- State 0 And Noise is heard, set State to 1 and stop waypoint
- State 1 And Noise is STILL heard, set State to 3 and play sound
- State 3, Start following waypoints again

It may be doing that in a single pass of the script, which will make it look like your "waypointstop" is messing up, but in fact the entity's "noiseheard" flag has not been reset by the time it gets to the state 1 lines. Perhaps by placing them ABOVE the state 0 lines, the script will reach the end before the state 1 lines are executed, allowing the flag to be reset for them and to wait for another sound instead of the same one as was heard in state 0.


Kinda complicated, but it's worth a shot, right?

A couple things:

1) Put your "always" lines at the top of the script, this ensures that they are executed before any of the other lines.
2) You may want to look at your state 6 line for putting an action colon in there.

That's all I can give you for critique on the script. Aside from that I can't say anything without understanding the conditions of your testing.

It could be some number of things to cause it to act like that.

- The enemy has too large of a view cone.
- The enemy happened to see you when it rotated it's head when it heard the noise and began shooting before you realized it.

Some script ideas:

1.)You could have a comic relief script for intense games where you go into a room, and once a badguy in there sees you, he turns around and runs away, and smacks into a wall right behind him, and goes unconscious. (that happened to one of my friends. i laffed so hard)

2.)You could have guys that dodge shots every once in a while (diving onto the ground)

3.) Soldiers that fake their own death to fool you.

4.) Soldiers that can jump over ledges/go down ladders!

Good Games = Halo, Doom, Marathon, F.E.A.R., Blood, and Half Life 2!

#1 wouldn't be too hard considering the default AI.
#2 would be harder to do simply because there isn't an animation dedicated to diving to the floor(it would just look weird).
#3 would be very doable(you gave me an idea)
#4 wouldn't be possible(i think)
