K well its well done, yet there are some bugs:
-characters randomly spin around sometimes
-since "X" turns on sinc you should prolly change the cover left command to something else
-enemy sometimes slides to me and ally
-enemy will attack you without even looking at you
-enemy moves inhuman
-ally sometimes jumps and accelerates into the air, with backdoor controls not doing a thing
-ally sometimes doesn't notice the enemy
-ally sometimes follows you looking the wrong way

Unless im doing something wrong this is everything i noticed. If you havnt noticed any of these you should try your stuff out again, or revise the script.

Too bad I don't get scripts at all (not good with them). Looks amazing, though. I think I am going to try it.

This is incredible, you need to show Lee and Rick this so they can implement it permanently into fpsc.

There is a few things that could be tweaked. I think that you shouldn't have to press a button to change cover positions as an option. The character was also jittering a little. It would be great if you made a custom animation where the character would duck every so often behind the object then fire back instead of the crouch animation. Something like as if he were perched against the wall.

It's quite good, and as a 3D artist not only creating the content I also study the games AI and animations. I think that with a few better walking, running and attacking animations they would look a lot smarter.

Great script and good stuff for sure.

I never thought of doing that and until I can get them tuned to be the best that they can be I will just leave as is. This project after all has been in progress for over a year.

that is way there are four different scripts. one to satisfy each of the groups

Here is a few things I need like pics or videos to check and see what might be the problem:

-allies seem to be skiing when they follow me
-ally sometimes follows you looking the wrong way
-ally sometimes jumps and accelerates into the air, with backdoor controls not doing a thing

tried that no problems on my part...

-enemy moves inhuman
-allies seem to be skiing when they follow me
-ally sometimes follows you looking the wrong way
-ally sometimes jumps and accelerates into the air, with backdoor controls not doing a thing

Let me go over each of these on what I see:

"enemy moves inhuman"
I could use some elaboration on this one

"allies seem to be skiing when they follow me"
Follows me normally

"ally sometimes follows you looking the wrong way"
Follows me normally

"ally sometimes jumps and accelerates into the air, with backdoor controls not doing a thing"
Hasn't happen to me

While thinking it over just for a little bit... what entity are you using for the ally to sprint over to?

here is how I set up my areas for battles.

The lifts are used to direct the characters to cover. Top character is the enemy. The bottom character is the ally.

let me rephrase the question. How is your area set up?

Hmm, I'm getting lots of problems. I just made a completely bare room and added an ally and an enemy. The ally follows me fine but when the ally engages the enemy he runs off to the nearest corner and proceeds to shoot it. The enemy, however, runs up to my face and starts dancing in circles. The ally is on the left, enemy on the right in the pic.

well any flat object similar to the lift or teleport pads will work just as fine. If you look in the toutorials folder that was in the download and look through duotutorial 2.

1. make sure the enemy is named "AI" not "AI (unarmed)" or somthing similar.

2. for a bare room use shootXnocover.fpi and allyshootXnocover.fpi

Ah ok, it worked a lot better now, the enemy now shoots at me, still occasionally dancing and pointing in the wrong direction, but a new problem arose. My ally is suicidal . When he spots an enemy he will shoot in the wrong direction then eventually die. I think he is getting hit by his own bullets because there are no bullet holes in the wall.

edit: aha. Turns out if the enemy has the same name as the ally, the ally will think he is an enemy too, so he kills himself. Just cant have the same name. Well it works fine now, no problems. Nice job there.

You should be able to have more then one ally, but too many allies usually lead to non-functioning allies.

1. is the folder setup like this - scriptbank\AI Upgrade\(ally,enemy,other)

2. are you placing the scripts in correctly.
Example:

Ally
allymainX - main; allyshootX/allyshootcloseX - shoot

Enemy
paceX - main, shootX/shootcloseX - shoot, leavecorpseX/fadecorpseX - destroy

3. Scripts run on V 1.09 FPSC

4. If the problem persists then post a detailed description of what you did so that I can check and see the problem.

shootX is for the cover system and shootXnocover is for no cover system.

If you want the cover system, you have to have two flat entities such as the lift or teleport pads and name one "lefta" and the other "righta".

For allies you need to name them "left" and "right"

PLEASE Everyone there is a tutorial on the cover system in the download. it is located int the tutorial folder under the name duotutorial2. If you do not want the cover system then use the shootXnocover or shootcloseXnocover.

ON A FURTHER NOTE: I will be releasing an AI set for enemy that will resemble that of METAL GEAR SOLID. This means that the extra added bonus of stealth can be added into your games.

I did what you said, and it still didn't work.. so I just used the non cover system, which is just the enemies go from left to right and firing once in a while.. something they didn't even fire. They just stood there.

Is there something else I'm ment to do, rather than replace the main script with yours?

Lol, that's awesome!

The video looks really cool, does the ally work without commands, i.e., it just follows the player and shoots enemies, because that would be more convenient...

@DocSpoc, is the ally named ally and the enemy named AI or AIB?

@CoffeeGrunt, I developed these allies to work without commands with the exception of the waypoint system. the allies will follow player, shoot enemies, and continue to follow player without a single button pressed. But in case something horribly goes wrong with the ally in a way such as shooting walls. I left a few command inputs as backdoor controls.

All this information should be in the readme text file that came with the download.

The enemy is not named AI or AIB, I never knew I had to do so.

I'm not using any allies, just seeing if the enemy AI is good first. ;o

I am giving you guys an update of what is going to happen (hopefully).

I have a new Idea in making an even more effective targeting system for the ally. When I manage to complete it I will post the update. Going along with the update will be the sneak script that I mentioned somewhere else.

@DocSpoc, I realize that there are some problems with the scripts malfunctioning. I have been helping someone through e-mail in trying to help him and came across this. The most I can say is that I hope that the new installment of the scripts will work when finished.

Question for Everyone: is anyone having trouble with using this set of scripts with a MOD.

I have a problem, I DO NOT have a mod and the Ally just reloads when he sees the enemy but after that, he just stands still and the gun will play the sound and give off smoke and fire. And the enemy just crouches around him just giving off smoke and fire.

Try using this set up;

ALLY
name: ally
main: allymainX.fpi
shoot: allyshootXnocover.fpi

enemy
name: AI or AIB
main: paceX.fpi
destroy: AI Upgrade/other/leavecorpse.fpi
shoot: shootXnocover.fpi

1. what version of FPSC are you running

2. It is not met for FPSC X10

3. It is meant to work with V1.9 and up (not 100% that it will work with mods, but no complaints from mod users so far)

I have a problem with the script. Every time they wont shoot each other until i get close to them. And when im to far the enemy wont shoot. I have to walk in front of him to make him active. How do i fix this. Also they wont follow when they kill the enemy. They just keep shooting the body.

I am no longer going to mess with it until I feel like it. So either leave it or edit it to your liking, after all I do have a life and I don't have enough time to mess with these things.

I do request this thread to be locked.

The ally doesn't detect if the enemy is dead. He keeps on shooting nothing.
