Another problem remains the explosiveAI.plist.
As it is, it triggers QC directly following ECM, without pausing or communicating.
Q: Is AImethod "pauseAI: <s>" broken?
The number entered is in seconds right? not milliseconds or 0.1seconds?
When I put the pause,comms,state lines into the PAUSE, it sometimes takes way too long to cycle.
It does work...except for the delays and lack of 'commsMessage:'.
Similar effects. except there is debris in explosions.Gonna test under 1.68.
I have since altered the AI to
-added a chance of prevent cascade at the last moment.
-added more chances to interrupt the cascade by ECM-ing. (This may be a mistake as it masks it if the AI hangs)
-added scan for the player, setTargetToFoundTarget and use sendTargetCommsMessage. still no comms.
What I don't understand is why the AI advances through all states in a moment when lines like:
Code: Select all
"commsMessage: -beep- ", "pauseAI: 1.0", "setStateTo: TIMER5"current AI:
Code: Select all
