Tomsk 0 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Hello, Back in the OFP days I built a number of small team "special forces" coop missions for my friends. Recently I've been trying to do the same in Arma 2 1.09 (no OA or other expansions). The trouble I'm having is getting realistic (and fun) behaviour out of the enemy AI. The first problem I found, is that the AI can see through the grass, which was easy to fix: turn the grass off. However, even without grass issue the AI seem to have an incredible ability to spot. I've got the AI on 'Safe' mode and they will usually spot me before I can spot them, and I know where they are placed! This makes 'sneaking up' on the AI virtually impossible, which kind of ruins the point of SF style missions ... Secondly when you do engage the AI, they frequently just run away. Which again doesn't make for a very interesting mission ... I've tried: - playing about with the AI skill settings, including using setSkill [ "spotTime", x ] and setSkill [ "spotDistance", x ]. As far as I could tell these had limited effect. - using mods such as ACE2, ZeusAI, SLX AI etc. These seem to improve the AI in other ways (better formations etc.), but they are still eagle eyed. Have other people observed similar problems with the Arma2 AI, and does anyone know a good solution to get more realistic behaviour out of them?

Gunter Severloh 4057 Posted October 17, 2011 Hi Tomsk, I see your trouble, I would reccomend a mod liek this: Infantry Stealth and Recognition Skills http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9604 there is a link on that page towards the bottom for the thread. the way this works is you can tweak the userconfig for the mod, and adjust values for each faction class in the game. Works fairly well, the lower the number closer to 0 for each faction the less they see. If your interested in trying this I can send you my pretweaked config and you can try that and then adjust it more. But the special forces, snipers, and spotters have the better ability to spot and see then most, and have a higher stealth then all of them, and the reg inf soldiers have their capacity to spot enemy lower. Theres also TWIRL Hide http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15369 that or both of those could surely help your situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted October 17, 2011 Did you reduce the unit skill? Did you reduce the overall AI skill set in difficulty? Btw there is a2 v1.10 out for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
