I will (try to) implement this tonight. After this is done, you might get kicked when you kill AI. You will be kicked by a battle eye script restriction error which has a number at it's end. Please report this number here! I have to change it in the BE filters, so nobody gets kicked. In the end it's a must have that's worth the working! So let's face it!
EDIT: Well I didn't do anything yet on that script. Instead I read a lot of BEC files and all that confusing stuff. For now I have to sleep a bit.
Sarge AI is now implemented! I killed my first 3 bandits. The first on the run, second with headshot. The last guy ran to the hills and hided in the woods. I followed him and we had a close combat fight. He shot me in the leg (broke) with his AKM and he took pretty much shots from my M4. (I figured out later that it was a leader, damage taken reduced by 60%) Later on some survivors tried to steal stuff out of my truck. I headed north to the point where AI normally spawns, and yes they gave me hell... I'll look for the fine settings now.
So when any problems with AI Script occuring, report here please. By now I had none. Thanks.
player triggered AI (same concept as Dayz's zombie spawn, this prevents "unused" AI on the map)
- 3 AI factions:
AI survivors (shoot Zeds and player bandits) AI bandits (shoot Zeds and player bandits/player survivors) AI soldiers (shoot Zeds, AI bandits and player bandits)
Dynamic "enemy" handling - only units near players will be made "unfriendly" towards Zeds / Bandits etc.
Randomized gear/skins and group setups(leader/sniper/riflemen) Randomized patrol waypoints around the player preconfigurable sizes of groups, number of groups and probability of groups spawning close to player
static AI configureable (e.g. put a group of bandits in Devils Castle, let 30 soldiers protect your camp, etc.) static Heli patrols predefined (Chernarus south coast, east coast, airfields). custom patrols configurable. automatic despawn if no players present anymore in the area killed AI bodies get deleted after a short amount of time (reduce server lag)
// maximum number of groups / grid SAR_max_grps_bandits = 1; new figure: 2 SAR_max_grps_soldiers = 1; SAR_max_grps_survivors = 1;
// chance for a group to spawn (1-100) SAR_chance_bandits = 50; new figure: 60 SAR_chance_soldiers = 30; SAR_chance_survivors = 50; new figure: 40
// maximum size of group (including Leader) SAR_max_grpsize_bandits = 3; new figure: 4 SAR_max_grpsize_soldiers = 3; SAR_max_grpsize_survivors = 3; new figure: 2
AI spawns generally in grids, also areas where they do patrol. So by now there can be 2 groups of bandits in a grid by a chance of 60%. And those groups have now 4 instead of only 3 bandits. Therefore i lowered the members of survivor groups to 2.
Next point is that I customized the loot they will spawn after get killed. Now you may find also key kits, GPS, some clothes, food and rare drinks, (more) weapons and ammo.
Last to mention is the time I raised from 2 minutes up to 4 minutes before AI corpses will disappear. I also changed the time after which units and groups despawn after players have left the area from 2 to 3 minutes.
So, hopefully everything stays fine after the changes. Watch your asses!
i had 3 encounters with ai now, and it was awful. there was no fun at all. It feels like playing on a pvp server. I play on a no pvp server for a reason. On Bartertown were ai`s too, but that was much fun. I had 12 or more bandit kills sometimes. I know some players would find it boring if ai is so stupid like a bread and shoots like a blind gunner, but i`m not good at shooting at all. It`s just frustrating. Previous if i heared shot i was soo happy, cause of the weapons i`ll get from ai. Now i hear shot and just think f*** f*** f*** .. i have to get out of here before i loose my car and all stuff and have to ran 4700m back.. I think i`m the only one who thinks like that and i know it`s not gonna change like i wish ... Just wanted to say that ..
Well, first, always keep in mind that they are around and can spawn almost everywhere (dynamic spawn). When you run you will be recognized early. When you hear shots then it's almost too late. Spot the enemy first for surprising advantage and take out the sniper first!
But I will have a look at the accuracy and aiming skills of AI later. So far I took out 2 bandit groups of 3 without any problems. (okay one shot broke my leg but I survived and shot back)
Other way to spawn AI would be a static one, also only in specific cities.
Okay, first I nerfed the snipers a bit. (accuracy less 10%)
Also I reduced the distance from 100 to 70:
//Efective distance for doing perfect ambush (max distance is this x2) KRON_UPS_ambushdist = 70;
Regarding this setting: // if you are spotted by AI group, how close the other AI group have to be to You , to be informed about your present position. over this, will lose target KRON_UPS_sharedist = 200;
Means in the end that AI when they spot you at a distance of 200m, they are not longer able to do a perfect ambush at max. distance of 200m. Instead they have to approach up to 140m to do a perfect ambush. I hope this will lower the chance for them to do a single shot kill.
First have a look at this: [spoiler=Grid Spawns Description:] On the map are 20 citys where AI groups will spawn. Let's take an example for Elektro:
[2,0,3],[50,0,50],[4,0,4]
The first set of numbers : [2,0,3] stands for 2 bandit groups 0 soldier group 3 surivors groups
That's the maximum that can spawn in this grid.
The second set of numbers : [50,0,50] means: 50% probability to spawn bandit groups 0% for soldiers 50% for survivors
the last set of numbers : [4,0,4] is the maximum number of people in the group (including the leader) 4 bandits 0 soldiers 4 survivors This number is randomized! [/spoiler]
I did some research last night and found the solution for all my problems configurating the AI settings I wanted... I installed an outdated Sarge AI Script! With the latest version I've installed now, it's possible to gain those walkie talkie messages and AI is promoted. That was one of the features I missed. It's somehow not activated yet!
My own Grid Spawn Settings are working, but by now I left them by default. Cause I managed to make AI Static Spawns! This means my Adminbase is now secured by a group of soldiers! Static AI groups can "fortify" (they enter the next building), patrol or ambush (they search for the next road). Static AI will always spawn at the coordinates given. My intention is to shutdown most of the grid spawns over the time, configuring my own static one. So it's simply possible to make Elektro a Bandit City! The only thing I have to do is to collect World Space Coordinates. (I move to the point where I want the AI to spawn and look at my coordinates in database)
While experimenting with the settings, I recognized thats its also possible to let AI spawn in vehicles and let them drive around. Also not yet implemented.
Well, AI loot tables are default by now again. In the end there are many settings to do, but now I know how it works and what's possible. Doing very well on this and I'm keen about to do some more soon...!
