AI driving perfect using a command list and this script! :D

[CodeBrain]

LoL I can has script that works! :D

btw: Had it for a while, didnt realize anyone would still need it >_<


(script continuous omfghax
(object_create_anew elite)
(object_create_anew wraith)
(unit elite)
(unit wraith)
(unit_enter_vehicle elite wraith "wraith-driver")
(sleep_until (= (vehicle_test_seat_list wraith "wraith-driver" elite) true) 5)
(ai_attach elite wraith-driving/pwnage)
(ai_command_list wraith-driving/pwnage haxdriver)
(sleep_until (= (and (= (unit_get_health elite) 0) (= (unit_get_health wraith) 0)) true)))

This script means:

It makes a elite biped and a wraith. The script makes them both units, and the elite biped enters the wraith. This script waits untill that seat for the wraith is filled by the elite biped, then continues. From there, it attaches it to a encounter, and gives it a command list. Then it sleeps untill both of them die, which makes it start all over again. They perfectly drive the entire command list.

Why/How this happens:

When the biped goes into the vehicle, it doesn't have it's AI yet, so it thinks its still on the ground, not in a vehicle. When the script attaches the biped to the encounter and gives it the command list, the ai believes its on the ground still, not in the vehicle.

The result? A elite in a wraith that perfectly follows the command list and attacks people.

The command list is just a figure eight around the bloodgulch bases, lol.

does it work with hogs?

[CodeBrain]

I have tried using hogs, I know for a fact that spartan ai will never use it (neither will the marines) But, there is a solution.

Simply make a marine that has the elites ai, and use the script. Edit the vehicle settings to where the ghost or wraith would be.

It SHOULD work, but Ill try it out, see how it does.

EDIT: Apparently, this doesn't work with warthogs. I'll keep trying, but I dont think its possible :(

I'm pretty sure that's just because the wraith driving isn't retarded. If I recall ghosts and wraiths can use command lists and stuff correctly it doesn't work for pelicans or hogs or anything though.

[p0lar_bear]

AI is unable to drive unless the driver seat is also attached to the gunner seat.

...though I recall someone telling me once that they managed to get AI to drive without a gunner seat, but never explained themselves. :?

[CodeBrain]

Ah, so thats why. Thanks p0lar, you saved me! :P

I have my ai driving warthogs perfectly :X, with my own little process

[CodeBrain]

Eh, release process mb? :P

[Ki11a_FTW]

maybe ill release a video later.

[TeeKup]

I'll try and sex it out of him later. I remember playing a few of his mods and those hogs pissing me off cause they actually seemed good. >_>

[S3anyBoy]

Lol recorded anims

[adumass]

I have my ai driving warthogs perfectly :X, with adumass's little process Fixed, also I'll make a tutorial as soon as I remember what I did to make it work.

[Edward Elrich]

It's simple, do what they did with the chaosgulch map, attach the driver seat to the gunner seat. It's a slightly larger target, but the AI can still drive the 'hog.

[TK421]

I did something like that once a LONG time ago. It was simple, all I had to do was change the vehicle type, I think, and enable 3D firing positions.

Ah, here's the tut.

Yes but adumass's process doesnt require that you have to check off the flag "AI flying", so they will not go out of control, are follow a simple instruction of where to go and what to do.
