Reason AI Civilians cannot be added to insurgency

Post by DeltaFart »

Ok, I figure this might clarify why we won't see AI Civilians anytime soon. The biggest issue is that A)You need to make all the maps coop compatible. This entails making a navigation mesh which requires a lot of work on the part of developers that doesn't allow them to work on anything else because it eats most of the computer's resources. Also as far as I'm led to beleive while testing PRSP:The bts don't recognize that they shouldn't shoot the civilians. It has to do with temperature settings with bots (dont make me explain temperature past ts the amount the bots want to attack something) And you can't seperate civilians from the standard soldier. Unless you can make the bots treat civilians as jets say, which infantry don't shoot at at all because the bots are programmed to know they will lose.
Bassically here it is:
Infantry attack chance in %
Other Infantry 80% (the civilian falls under this category)
Light Trucks 50%
APCs 30%
Tanks 10%
Helos 20 %
Jets 0%


This in no way is how this shows up in the editor or the file settings. This is a simplified version of how it basically work. Outlaw and Hans Martin Slayer could post the code on how this works in the game but I doubt anyone would understand it if it didn't come with an explaination the size of one of MWarren's Suggestions :D

Hope this was helpful

Makes sense but a quick question to anyone willing to answer is their anyway to make a player based on both teams so hes not US or Chinese,Mec ect but both. I know it's probly not possible but I'm just throwing it out thier becaus if the player is a member of both teams then nither team will shoot him(bot)

Then don't make them civilians. Replace them with a class that you don't mind getting killed. Problem solved.
