AI detection distance

[leoviale 10]

Hi guys, I have an issue with enemies, I'm creating a night mission, and when I test it, enemy guards keep spotting my squad from hilarious distances. I want it to be more "realistic" and change the enemy spot distance or sight distance. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Find the darkest part of the night. If they lack NVGs, they will be blind as bats.

(I mean that literally. Their sonar will only kick in once you start firing.)

You can adjust the AI with setSkill_array

// This is for east side op4.
// Change the numbers in red to suit your needs, 1 = max : 0 = min
{if (side _x == east) then {_x setskill ["spotDistance",[color="Red"]0.7[/color]]};} foreach allunits;
{if (side _x == east) then {_x setskill ["spotTime",[color="red"]0.7[/color]]};} foreach allunits;

Use this:

Infantry Stealth and Recognition Skills

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9604

then adjust the parameters in the userconfig, I can post my config if you wish, I can do some fun stealth missions at night,

AI dont see or hear you sometimes depends on the class type of the AI.

If AI is sniper, spotter, or Specops then they see good,a d have good stealth, as well as have good camo,

but if its general soldier then their hearing and site is shorter.

Dont give them NVG's and use the code from Riouken, that should work.

If not, maybe some mod makes them spot you so easy ?

Try it without mods !

This is sweet! This is what I was looking for, I want AI to act more real, and apparently this is the thing! adjusting those parameters I think will get me closer to what I'm looking for.

I will try to adjust it myself, and if doesn't work I will ask you for your settings, as you have allot more experience.

Hello looong and fun stealth night missions! :D

I will also try this, but I think Günter's mod is sweet!

Thanks you guys!

Heres my config for that mod, if you want to try it, just copy n paste into yours, its a start not a cure all solution,

but I had tested this and played around with it for 3 days when I was setting it up for my mod CoWarMod.

Change the defined values to modify the stealth and recognition abilities of the particular factions and units you wish to modify. 
The values in green behind the value you set are the vanilla standard values.
I am not 100% positive of all the definitions I posted so feel free to test and determine for yourself.
I have only seperated into 3 classes per faction to reduce this list-1)Basic units 2)Snipers/Spotter/Scouts/Marksman 3)Launcer Units-AT,AA,RPG

Again the special forces, snipers, spotters are the ones with:

-highest sensitivityEar

-highest sensitivity

-lowest audible

-lowest camouflage

based on class in terms of realistic for real life, like for example us marines may have a higher special forces

then like insurgent special forces type classes because of training.

Just some ideas to play with.

...but I think Günter's mod is sweet!

Same here... great idea and very well done.
