Stupid AI

[vonfrank]

I am really tired of how stupid the AI is in KM1.0

i beat a tactical cube in a defiant because i keept firing my pulse phasers at it and it keept trying to dodge them and never fired a single shot at me

is there some way to re-do the AI so that they will attack and not worry about evading pulses and torpedoes

eh KM 1.0 doesn't have a tac cube... also I know the Borg AI isn't that afraid of weapons...
You must have changed the Borg Ai when you installed that ship.

iv'e done alot of modifications to the game but not much with the AI files because i don't really understand how they work at all

can someone tell me how AI scripting works

[Nebula]

All ships use a particular AI directed to them in the HP file...

KM had an aggressive Borg AI... don't see it flying away...
The Tac Cube most likely had an AI shipped with it and when you installed it, it either replaced KM's AI
or added a new one for it to use.

[vonfrank]

all ships have either "FedAttack" or "NonFedAttack"

so if all mobile ships run off of those 2 AI types than how do i make those two AI types not avoid torpedoes and disruptors

[vonfrank]

i have noticed that its only the ships added through the "Add Ships" function that have the stupid AI

ships added from the quick battle setup menu are smarter

does anyone know what AI type the "Add ships" function uses?

[Nebula]

ships added through the "Add Ships" function most likely use the easy AI or "basic attack"...

And again Borg Ships use a unique AI....

Looking through the Borg HP files KM 1.0 I found they use an AI called BorgAttack located in \scripts\AI\Compound

Again be sure your tac cube uses this AI.
But then I'm not 100% sure the original KM 1.0 Borg AI is intact after you installed that tac cube.

[vonfrank]

to solve the problem i just went into every AI file and added "Avoid Torps = 0"

this seems to have worked

[Nebula]

that was unnecessary imo...

you would only have needed to change one AI file not all of them.

i didn't want to cahnge it just for the Tactical cube but for all ships in the game
