(Why) AI shooting through high grass/trees/sandbags?

Recommended Posts

Hi there

Last time i played Arma 2 or Arma 2 OA (with ace mod and without)

the AI shot through High grass if i activated "Full Gras" in the show status option!

Or they shoot through the wood or through trees!

Or through some sandbags...

Are you fix this bug in the near future or is this a known problem

or is this no problem?

Love to play ARMA 2 + OA and buying the reinforcements pack when its available on DVD but only if this get fixed ;)

With best regards

your beerz :)

(Sorry, for my broken english and greets from germany :yay:)

There is nothing to fix, it's a feature. A.I. is capable to do supressive fire. If you don't move out of it you will get caught sooner or later. Fire and movement is the key...never fire twice from the same location when you're outnumbered.

yeah thats right!

but im not stupid buddy ;)

but its a known problem and im not the only one who says that!

a short example of a tactical game of the community i play with

its night

we get slowly crouched to near a village were we have to destroy a mi 24 hind

we stopped near a farm in high grass between a few trees

we stayed there for a few minutes that our squadleader can check the map and we checked the area!

bam we got seen

it was a troop with nightvision yeah

but high grass and more

damn thats not good

i dont want to sound like a whining baby but like i said im not the only one who think it sucks :D

Why don't you simply lower A.I. skill and accuracy values?

The game allows for al kinds of custom settings down to a point where A.I. is deaf and blind and hit nothing smaller than a barndoor.

Problem solved.

No they dont. The bullets from the AI are handled exactly the same as yours, they cannot go through things you cannot shoot through. Furthermore objects have been concealment since

and grass can be somewhat

This is a serious answer and it solves the "problem" of overaccurate and oversensitive A.I. Just configure the A.I. to your needs.

open user.cfg and change the values:

skillFriendly=1.000000;

skillEnemy=0.750000;

precisionFriendly=0.330000;

precisionEnemy=0.250000;

Thanks for posting but only a half thanks to Beagle Cause stupid ai sucks more then Genius!

yeah thats a Problem with the Grass

if you lay down As a sniper and get a kill when you are in the Woods and over 1000 meters Away and then Move to another Position Cause like Beagle Said don't shoot twice from the Same Position!

It still works fine when you hide behind objects though. And the thing is, even if they fixed this bug the AI would still just see you walk to another location in the grass so in the end it doesnt matter that much. Just use objects. ;)

ok thanks for this fast Answering Nemesis :)

yeah You're right! nice now i can Tell em how they get Not Killed near a village or in the Woods :D

a "Fire and forget" System would Be nice

if they located you and you stop shooting and moving Away

they should forget you but they should Not stop being alarmed

so it would Be more realistic ( i Hope you understand my broken english)

Best regards and good Night

That is already in. If they dont see you anymore they will estimate your location on your last known position, direction and speed, just like real people (except somewhat worse). They never known magically where you are.

So what's the problem then?

but high grass and more

So what?

Why do people think that grass makes them 100% invisible, especially considering that they move in there or push some grass to the ground while crawling (which AI is also able to notice)

damn thats not good

That's exactly how it should be. Everything is fair. If you can see AI during the night with NVGs, he can see you too.

In fact this is there since OFP.

What's with this constant storm of silly threads anyway?

I killed AI too easily - AI is stupid, make it cheat!

I get killed by AI because I wasn't careful enough - AI is cheating! Make it stupid!

Why do people think that if they don't see an enemy the enemy doesn't see them?

Since OFP? OFP did not have grass and btw I agree with this german guy, the grass sucks bigtime, against AI and against People "pvp" you can end up being spotted in the grass even when you are totally covered in grass yourself, lol this is super unrealistic, so dont come here and state things like lower your settings or your not good enough or bull like that. the grass is a seriuos issue and its more eyecandy than actually realistic so I turn the grass off period. to play a fair fight the grass must be off.

Have you even read the whole topic? He was talking about when you hide behind objects/terrain, i already posted a video about what happens when you hide in grass when you are already known to the AI.

AI don't see thru vegetation or objects (unless there is bug)

yet contrary to humans they may see You thru holes or over ege way better than human

of AI keeps firing on your locationar after they spotted You or heard You or You opened fire well they either trying supress You or just firing at Your last location for some time

AI takes in mind stance and distance (sort of hiddin in grass) but it's limited on long distance

i agree that there should be better camouflage/grass-stance difference on closer range which i mentioned already in CIT
