AI + Force

[BNG Da BZ Fool]

What about the (Map Editor) AI level settings 0 1 2 3 4 etc thingy? Can a statement be added in the model ODF to override the default level and make it more aggressive/accurate? I don't really have a clue how it works, but it seems like a good place for adding allowable statements that affect how the game engine sets up the model when it creates it. If doable then a DLL thingy might not even be needed; don't really have a clue one way or the other though.

sets up the model? nothing model related here

You mean when it sets up the AI.

Never managed to do much with these 1 odf weapons like force and vir, seems that most of their function is all done by the class.
All I ever managed to get the AI to do was turn it on, off, on, off and waste all its ammo.

useAssaultSpecials = 1

would that do it =s? unless i missed the point entirely? i have a probe droid that engages its site camera when attacked, if only i could find the ODF...

[General BlackDragon]

That doesn't help much already have it in there

I'll try it on a gun tower but if it doesn't work for a ship, dunno how it would work for that.

AFAIK: Guntower AI understands weaponmask. Also, i'm not sure how force will work even on ai's which use it, but if they dont, you can always make a special (salvolauncher) which fires near instant expiring magnet ordnance which deflects incoming projectiles.

yeh could use some sort of weapon hack. itll never be the same as force though =S

does each 'special' clas (site cam, image refract etc) have different values to specify when they are used. ill try look for that probe ODF soon...
