Title: Point Defense
Post by: Worf359Alpha on August 08, 2009, 02:04:01 AM

Is there any way to make the enemy AI use Point Defence, i have equiped nearly all my ships to use PD but i would like enemy ships to use it too.

Well, AI is always somewhat of a problem.

Unfortunately, there is no clear cut pattern for doing this type of thing, as far as I know, only MVAM contained this type of AI change. So I would suggest you look there.

Kinda merging the AutoTargeting tech and the PointDefense tech from KM into a new tech, you could make this work.
Ship auto-fires enabled weapons (perhaps with a few more restrictions, kinda like autotargeting does) into incoming torps, destroying them (kinda like in PointDefense).
This way AIs would use it (like AIs use the autotargeting), and it would be easy to add it to ships (FTech easyness)


Not that hard to make. Infact, could be a nice opportunity for young scripters around here :P

Thx guys, Auto Targeting is kinda what gave me the idea to begin with having added AT to a few of my ships, i thought point defense on both sides would make for more interesting and dramatic battles, im gona tinker with this a little.
