I will try to post video links as well as descriptions for any major features that I finish in the new set of AI. Until then here is the link for Allies and Enemies Advance video.

well I am glad that everyone is enjoying what is being showed in the video.

I am making a short video for the next upgrade that I made to the allies that will eventually make its way to the enemy AI. This new upgrade gives the ally the ability to move to cover and reload. It also allows him to switch between two flanking positions left and right. the player also has influence on the ally's flanking position if they want to direct the ally to a better flanking area.

My my sounds nice. How will the ally be influenced by the player? Will there be a button pressed, or will scripting let it know what to do?

very good question, the original idea was to allow the ally to switch when it needed too and if the player needs him to be placed on the left or right, the player presses a button and the ally moves there.

I have a poll put up on my website for this matter though. this way I have your guys' opinion on this subject.

Go to http://crazymonkeygamers.net84.net/ and the bottom most poll is the one for this subject. The other poll is just a decision for the site to add another page.

First off, I have now uploaded a video to youtube showing the cover system. This system is currently in a development stage, but it looks pretty good.

Now let me answer questions.

Quote: "how did u make him detect dead enemies?"


I set up a global variable in the destroy script and the allies shoot script checks the matching variables and returns to the main AI script.

yes, he would stop shooting, but as an awesome part of the script, he will be hit by the enemy causing him to fire upon the enemy again. I am trying to loop hole a lot of the problem areas.

I haven't really messed with that problem yet, but as I type, I am forming a good solution to it and will start working on it.

Long time problem solved in less then thirty minutes.

Uploaded short video showing off the solution and shows the auto detect.

A fast note, when I put back-door keys I met the keys that control the ally to engage an enemy, move forward, retreat, and crouch.

Well done Gamer X.

Quote: "this should be the official Ally Script for X9"

Yes, this is very nice indeed.
I hope we will be allowed to modify it to suit our needs.
An ally script has been on my to-do list for a long time now, but I never got around to it because I haven't needed it yet.
This script would save me a lot of work for 'Battle of the Dead'. (tamed/trained zombie army fighting other zombies)
I am looking forward to this release.

The video looks great. The waypoint system for the ally was indeed a nice touch, but I can't help but wonder how well it will work when the entire level is meshed with waypoints. Does the AI know which direction on the waypoints to walk in order to continue following the player?

I removed the poll and here are the results:

Player has to press one button and ally randomly chooses left or right:
2 votes

No buttons
2 votes

Combination of the above answers
2 votes

Player has to press two individual buttons
1 vote

====================================================
Just because of the three way tie I will just form three - four separate scripts.
================================================================
Quote: "Does the AI know which direction on the waypoints to walk in order to continue following the player?"


That is a very good question although I didn't extensively test it like that. in the video there was only one planned out waypoint setup. I was originally going to use the waypoint system to have the ally to freely roam an area when I didn't need him, but I notice when making the video that it could be used for good strategy in attacking enemies.

With the considerable upgrade in the scripts The old command in-puts have became back doors in order to initiate the commands such as engage an enemy and such.

I have accomplished something that all of you have requested over and over and over. I also added a little bit more.

the enemies now wait until you are a certain distance away from them before they attack and the ally will now automatically fire upon the enemy without command and then continue following player after enemies are eliminated.

I set a global variable to be increased by 1 in the enemies main AI. This way the ally will know how many enemies there are. every time when an enemy is defeated he lowers that same variable by 1 and when they are all dead the variable will read 0 and the ally will not attack anymore.

That is how I did and I am going to edit it a little bit. to solve problems that may happen.

Quote: "no comment the only thing I can say.."


I figure that is the most anyone could say.

Quote: "when are you releasing it "


hard to tell. I still have to test it with the variety of weapon types (excluding melee) and make scripts for those specific types. After that I have to go through the exact same process with the enemy scripts. After all that I have to make a variety of AI main scripts.

It sounds like a lot, but I can assure you that once the main scripts are done the rest will be a breeze to go through and change.

I uploaded a next to final product video. The video shows what the scripts will pretty much do. The characters use modified shoot scripts that eliminated the cover ability. This video though is to show how the ally will react to killing one enemy while somewhere else there is another that has not became a threat.

Hello everyone

I been working making sure that everything works correctly and got to thinking.

Now before I say it I will like your opinion on it. I do not do much of this but I think it will be a neat thing to do.

here it is:
I was wanting to make a flashy video showing all the features in this improved AI set-up and all I want is your guys opinion on weather or not I should do it.

I have some good news and bad news. I will start off with the bad news. the bad news is that this post doesn't contain the new scripts

The good news is that unless something goes horribly wrong tomorrow, I will have both the scripts and final video up.

On the other side of the text... I am glad that you guys had fun with the peek I gave you.

The last video is uploaded and the scripts are ready for download.
CHECK FIRST POST

Note: you need to be sure to place the folder into the scriptbank so that there is the AI Upgrade folder and then all the sub-folders in that folder.

If any of you find bugs in the scripts you can post them here or e-mail them to me.

I think I forgot this in the script download so here.

Enemies need the main, shoot, and destroy scripts. The allies need just the main and shoot scripts. There is a list of the scripts and the areas they belong in the download


Enjoy the new scripts
