tpw 2314 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Yep.

mr_centipede 31 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) I try to add the bolded part, so that the skill will actually decrease overtime the longer they are suppressed and hopefully they will disengage and flee. I found that they will stop firing but not flee. Not fleeing is not really a problem, but the problem is after they are no longer suppressed their original skill will not return. Of course it's not your fault, just trying to try a few thing...Mainly trying to further reduce the skill the longer he is suppressed. Can you explain how the flow of the script goes? /* ALL INFANTRY UNITS ON MAP WILL REACT IF ANY BULLETS PASS WITHIN 10m BULLETS FIRED FROM LESS THAN 25m ARE IGNORED BULLETS FROM SMG AND PISTOLS ARE IGNORED BULLETS FROM OWN SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/CROUCH BULLETS FROM ENEMY SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/DROP, AND TEMPORARY DECREASE IN SKILL Original code idea by -Coulum- TPW 20120620 */ //Start hint 0 = [] spawn {sleep 3;hintsilent "AI suppress active"; sleep 3; hintsilent ""}; private ["_supnextime","_unit","_bc","_shots","_skill"]; //Pistol and SMG ammo to ignore tpw_mags =["30rnd_9x19_MP5", "30rnd_9x19_MP5SD", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD", "7Rnd_45ACP_1911", "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov", "8Rnd_9x18_MakarovSD", "64Rnd_9x19_Bizon", "64Rnd_9x19_SD_Bizon", "13Rnd_9mm_SLP", "17Rnd_9x19_glock17", "6Rnd_45ACP", "30Rnd_9x19_UZI", "30Rnd_9x19_UZI_SD"]; //Main function tpw_sup = { { if ((vehicle _x == _x) and (alive _x))then { _unit = _x; _SupNextTime = _unit getVariable ["SupNextTime", -1]; if (_SupNextTime == -1) then { _ball = "Sign_sphere25cm_EP1" createvehicle getposatl _unit;_ball attachTo [_unit,[0,0,2]]; _unit setvariable ["SupBall",_ball];//debugging _unit setVariable ["SupNextTime", diag_tickTime]; _unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit]; _unit setvariable ["SupSide", side _unit]; _unit addeventhandler ["Fired",{tpw_fired = _this select 0;tpw_mag = _this select 5; tpw_bullet = _this select 6}]; }; if (diag_tickTime >= _SupNextTime) then { _unit setVariable ["SupShots", 0]; _unit setunitpos "auto"; _unit setskill (_unit getvariable "SupSkill"); _ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall"; _ball hideobject true; //debugging }; if !(isnull tpw_bullet) then { _bc = count ((getposatl _unit) nearobjects ["Bulletbase",10]); if (_bc > 0) then { if ((tpw_fired distance _unit) > 25) then { if !(tpw_mag in tpw_mags) then { _unit setVariable ["SupNextTime", diag_tickTime + 3 + random 5]; _shots = _unit getVariable "SupShots"; _unit setVariable ["SupShots", _shots + _bc]; _shots = _unit getVariable "SupShots"; _skill = _unit getVariable "SupSkill"; _ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall";//debugging if (side tpw_fired != _unit getVariable "SupSide") then { _ball hideobject false;//debugging if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.8;}; if (_shots > 5) then {_unit setunitpos "down"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.6;}; [b]_unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit];[/b] } else { if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"}; }; }; }; }; }; }; } forEach allunits; }; //Call function using per frame eventhandler so computer doesn't explode [tpw_sup,0] call cba_fnc_addPerFrameHandler; Just realized that code dont have the bolded part, but anyway, it's this part: if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.8;}; if (_shots > 5) then {_unit setunitpos "down"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.6;}; _unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit]; [edit] I hope I'm not stepping into anyone toes here... sorry if it does.

-Coulum- 35 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Just realized that code dont have the bolded part, but anyway, it's this part:if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.8;}; if (_shots > 5) then {_unit setunitpos "down"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.6;}; _unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit]; From what I understand, this would detect the skill of the unit, even after he has been suppressed. So if his original skill was 1, then he was suppressed and his skill was made to 0.8, _unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit]; will detect that his skill is 0.8. Then when the script repeats itself, at this point: if (diag_tickTime >= _SupNextTime) then { _unit setVariable ["SupShots", 0]; _unit setunitpos "auto"; -------->_unit setskill (_unit getvariable "SupSkill"); _ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall"; _ball hideobject true; //debugging The line indicated will use that detected skill of 0.8 and set it as the unit's new skill even if he isn't suppressed anymore. As the script repeats itself over and over again, and the unit is suppressed more and more, this skill will degenerate faster and faster and will never recover, all because of that _unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit]; at the end of the script. Or at least that's how I understand it. A good way to see the skill of the ai you are shooting at is to put "hint str (skill ai);" in to the script right after "_unit = _x;", and name the soldier you are testing on ai. ie. tpw_sup = { { if ((vehicle _x == _x) and (alive _x))then { _unit = _x; -----> hint str (skill ai); <-------- _SupNextTime = _unit getVariable ["SupNextTime", -1]; --edit-- Anyhow, if you wanted the ai's skill to constantly decrease while being suppressed, then you could simply add the indicated lines: if (diag_tickTime >= _SupNextTime) then { _unit setVariable ["SupShots", 0]; _unit setunitpos "auto"; _unit setskill (_unit getvariable "SupSkill"); _ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall"; _ball hideobject true; //debugging } <--------------------------------------------------------------------- else<--------------------------------------------------------------------- { <--------------------------------------------------------------------- _unit setskill ((skill _unit)-.0001);<--------------------------------- };<------------------------------------------------------------------------ if !(isnull tpw_bullet) then { _bc = count ((getposatl _unit) nearobjects ["Bulletbase",10]); if (_bc > 0) then So that as long as a unit is suppressed his skills decrease by .0001 per frame (actually pretty fast). As soon as he stops being suppressed for a few seconds his skills will then return. Try the below out with one unit named "ai" and you will see how it works (ai's accuracy will be displayed in the top right of the screen). /*/* ALL INFANTRY UNITS ON MAP WILL REACT IF ANY BULLETS PASS WITHIN 10m BULLETS FIRED FROM LESS THAN 25m ARE IGNORED BULLETS FROM SMG AND PISTOLS ARE IGNORED BULLETS FROM OWN SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/CROUCH BULLETS FROM ENEMY SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/DROP, AND TEMPORARY DECREASE IN SKILL Original code idea by -Coulum- TPW 20120620 */ //Start hint 0 = [] spawn {sleep 3;hintsilent "AI suppress active"; sleep 3; hintsilent ""}; private ["_supnextime","_unit","_bc","_shots","_skill"]; //Pistol and SMG ammo to ignore tpw_mags =["30rnd_9x19_MP5", "30rnd_9x19_MP5SD", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD", "7Rnd_45ACP_1911", "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov", "8Rnd_9x18_MakarovSD", "64Rnd_9x19_Bizon", "64Rnd_9x19_SD_Bizon", "13Rnd_9mm_SLP", "17Rnd_9x19_glock17", "6Rnd_45ACP", "30Rnd_9x19_UZI", "30Rnd_9x19_UZI_SD"]; //Main function tpw_sup = { { if ((vehicle _x == _x) and (alive _x))then { _unit = _x; hint str (skill ai); _SupNextTime = _unit getVariable ["SupNextTime", -1]; if (_SupNextTime == -1) then { _ball = "Sign_sphere25cm_EP1" createvehicle getposatl _unit;_ball attachTo [_unit,[0,0,2]]; _unit setvariable ["SupBall",_ball];//debugging _unit setVariable ["SupNextTime", diag_tickTime]; _unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit]; _unit setvariable ["SupSide", side _unit]; _unit addeventhandler ["Fired",{tpw_fired = _this select 0;tpw_mag = _this select 5; tpw_bullet = _this select 6}]; }; if (diag_tickTime >= _SupNextTime) then { _unit setVariable ["SupShots", 0]; _unit setunitpos "auto"; _unit setskill (_unit getvariable "SupSkill"); _ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall"; _ball hideobject true; //debugging } else { _unit setskill ((skill _unit)-.0001); }; if !(isnull tpw_bullet) then { _bc = count ((getposatl _unit) nearobjects ["Bulletbase",10]); if (_bc > 0) then { if ((tpw_fired distance _unit) > 25) then { if !(tpw_mag in tpw_mags) then { _unit setVariable ["SupNextTime", diag_tickTime + 3 + random 5]; _shots = _unit getVariable "SupShots"; _unit setVariable ["SupShots", _shots + _bc]; _shots = _unit getVariable "SupShots"; _skill = _unit getVariable "SupSkill"; _ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall";//debugging if (side tpw_fired != _unit getVariable "SupSide") then { _ball hideobject false;//debugging if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.8;}; if (_shots > 5) then {_unit setunitpos "down"; _unit setskill _skill * 0.6;}; } else { if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"}; }; }; }; }; }; }; } forEach allunits; }; //Call function using per frame eventhandler so computer doesn't explode [tpw_sup,0] call cba_fnc_addPerFrameHandler; Or something like this will make it so they decrease in skill every shot getting closer and closer to zero.

tpw 2314 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Nice one -Coulum-. It might also be possible to tie unit skill in with the number of shots thusly: if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"}; if (_shots > 5) then {_unit setunitpos "down"}; _loss = _skill * _shots * 0.02; if (_loss > _skill) then {_loss = _skill}; _skill = _skill - _loss; _unit setskill _skill; This will cause a unit to lose 2% skill for every shot. So if the unit is being suppressed by a few isolated shots, he will crouch and lose up to 10% skill (up to 5 bullets). If he's really surrounded by hot lead, then he'll hit the dirt and the skill might decrease to 0. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

-Coulum- 35 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Yep that works as well. honestly I don't know what would be best for gameplay. On a somewhat related note... I am trying to make it so the restoration of stance and skill occur separately. Ie. if I suppress an ai, he will restore back to full accuracy after only 3-5 second, but take longer to go back to normal stance. To do that I have tried making the equivalent of a "SupNextTime", called "SkillRegain". I am horrible at describing things so I'll just show it.

-Coulum- 35 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Thanks tpw. Your right, but it doesn't seem to be whats causing the problem. I actually replaced all that setskill stuff with a simple "hint "placeholder - skills are regained";" and still no go. What I found interesting though was that no matter how much I fired this hint was repeated every frame indicating that SkillRegain hadn't been set correctly when shots are fired... but once again, I don't see why it wouldn't be set right.Oh that hint was probably being constantly repeated for me, the player. It seems to be the "if ( diag_tickTime >= _SkillRegain) then... " statement itself rather than what inside that is causing problems. But I am still lost as to why.

tpw 2314 Posted June 21, 2012 The only thing I can think of is to put the if ( diag_tickTime >= _SkillRegain) then block before the if ( diag_tickTime >= _SupNextTime) then block, since a unit should regain skills before regaining his stance.

Here's my version: // ALL INFANTRY UNITS ON MAP WILL REACT IF ANY BULLETS PASS WITHIN 10m // BULLETS FIRED FROM LESS THAN 25m ARE IGNORED // BULLETS FROM SMG AND PISTOLS ARE IGNORED // BULLETS FROM OWN SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/CROUCH // BULLETS FROM ENEMY SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/DROP, AND TEMPORARY DECREASE IN SKILL // Original code idea by -Coulum- // TPW 20120621 //Start hint 0 = [] spawn {sleep 3;hintsilent "AI suppress active"; sleep 3; hintsilent ""}; private ["_supnextime","_unit","_bc","_shots","_skill"]; //Pistol and SMG ammo to ignore tpw_mags =["30rnd_9x19_MP5", "30rnd_9x19_MP5SD", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", "15Rnd_9x19_M9SD", "7Rnd_45ACP_1911", "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov", "8Rnd_9x18_MakarovSD", "64Rnd_9x19_Bizon", "64Rnd_9x19_SD_Bizon", "13Rnd_9mm_SLP", "17Rnd_9x19_glock17", "6Rnd_45ACP", "30Rnd_9x19_UZI", "30Rnd_9x19_UZI_SD"]; //Main function tpw_sup = { { if ((vehicle _x == _x) and (alive _x))then { _unit = _x; //hintsilent str (skill o1); _SupNextTime = _unit getVariable ["SupNextTime", -1]; if (_SupNextTime == -1) then { //_ball = "Sign_sphere25cm_EP1" createvehicle getposatl _unit;_ball attachTo [_unit,[0,0,2]]; _unit setvariable ["SupBall",_ball];//debugging _unit setVariable ["SupNextTime", diag_tickTime]; _unit setVariable ["SupSkill", skill _unit]; _unit setvariable ["SupSide", side _unit]; _unit addeventhandler ["Fired",{tpw_fired = _this select 0;tpw_mag = _this select 5; tpw_bullet = _this select 6}]; }; if (diag_tickTime >= _SupNextTime) then { _unit setVariable ["SupShots", 0]; _unit setunitpos "auto"; //REGAINING SKILL PART - slowly if(skill _unit >= _unit getvariable "SupSkill") then { _unit setskill (_unit getvariable "SupSkill"); //_ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall"; _ball hideobject true; //debugging } else { _unit setskill (((_unit getvariable "SupSkill")*0.001) + (skill _unit)); //_unit allowFleeing (1 - (skill _unit)); }; }; if !(isnull tpw_bullet) then { _bc = count ((getposatl _unit) nearobjects ["Bulletbase",10]); if (_bc > 0) then { if ((tpw_fired distance _unit) > 25) then { if !(tpw_mag in tpw_mags) then { _unit setVariable ["SupNextTime", diag_tickTime + 3 + random 5]; _shots = _unit getVariable "SupShots"; _unit setVariable ["SupShots", _shots + _bc]; _shots = _unit getVariable "SupShots"; _skill = _unit getVariable "SupSkill"; //_ball = _unit getvariable "SupBall";//debugging if (side tpw_fired != _unit getVariable "SupSide") then { //_ball hideobject false;//debugging if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle";}; if (_shots > 5) then {_unit setunitpos "down";}; //LOSING SKILL part based on tpw math _loss = _skill * _shots * 0.01; if (_loss > _skill) then {_loss = _skill}; _skill = _skill - _loss; _unit setskill _skill; //_unit allowFleeing (1 - (skill _unit)); } else { if (_shots > 0) then {_unit setunitpos "middle"}; }; }; }; }; }; }; } forEach allunits; }; //Call function using per frame eventhandler so computer doesn't explode [tpw_sup,0] call cba_fnc_addPerFrameHandler; Basically suppressed AI will lose skill overtime, and they will regain their skill slowly based on their original skill. The math maybe needed some work. But it serve the purpose. I think you can edit this script for your regaining stance coulom? As for the commented allowFleeing, I try to make them flee overtime, but after they flee, they seems wont recover... maybe needed some more test Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_centipede 31 Posted June 21, 2012 I think it's not a good idea to use the overall setSkill command, I think that will make the AI more and more stupid overtime... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackmamb 2 Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah i would rather go with changing only aimingAccuracy, aimingShake and maybe courage. The other AI abilities shouldn't suffer from being suppressed imao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2314 Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah i would rather go with changing only aimingAccuracy, aimingShake and maybe courage. The other AI abilities shouldn't suffer from being suppressed imao. I agree, but overall skill is easier to work with when you're trying to establish a workable system. Once you have that then you make the skill stuff more granular. Professor -Coulum- is pretty close I think. Given that the whole AI skill thing will never please everyone, I've got a feeling that in the end we'll release 2 versions of the system, one which changes skills under suppression, and one which only changes stance.

-Coulum- 35 Posted June 21, 2012 Yeah i would rather go with changing only aimingAccuracy, aimingShake and maybe courage. The other AI abilities shouldn't suffer from being suppressed imao. good because that's the only stats I changed. This script decreases individual skills, and further more, it decreases skills by an amount dependant on the number of shots coming in and that units other skills. So a courageous unit will suffer less of an aiming penalty, for a shorter amount of time. I've also used Centipede's idea of making skills regenerative, but at a rate that tapers off the closer it gets to the original skill. I am hoping this makes it so that suppression will have long term effects but will not make the ai too useless for more than a few seconds, unless under constant fire. This is a basic break down When you shoot at an enemy is skill drops to about 1/2 (depends on his courage and general skill) Every additional shot will subtract an addition few skill points (also depend on courage and general skill) After a few seconds (part random, part skill dependant) the soldier starts regaining his skills. This is totally independant of his stance though. So a unit might still stay prone due suppression, but be at full accuracy, shake etc. The regeneration will initially be very rapid but slow the closer the soldier's current skill gets to his original skill. Courage regenerates at a constant rate but only starts to replenish when the soldier returns to auto stance. So basically, if you keep up fire on a unit you will be able to keep their accuracy very low. A machinegunner will even be able to cut down a soldiers skills to absolute zero, if he focuses fire on it. //SLEEP 20; // ALL INFANTRY UNITS ON MAP WILL REACT IF ANY BULLETS PASS WITHIN 10m // BULLETS FIRED FROM LESS THAN 25m ARE IGNORED // ALL INFANTRY UNITS ON MAP WILL REACT IF ANY BULLETS PASS WITHIN 10m // BULLETS FIRED FROM LESS THAN 25m ARE IGNORED // BULLETS FROM SMG AND PISTOLS ARE IGNORED // BULLETS FROM OWN SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/CROUCH // BULLETS FROM ENEMY SIDE CAUSE UNIT TO KNEEL/DROP, AND TEMPORARY DECREASE IN SKILL // Original code idea by -Coulum- // TPW 20120621 //Start hint 0 = [] spawn {sleep 3;hintsilent "AI suppress active";

But if you plan to use it with asr, you'll have to let the script sleep for 20 seconds or so before having it activate, in order for asr skills to set in. Feedback is very welcome.

tpw 2314 Posted June 21, 2012 Beautiful! So how did you get it to work in the end? Probably just needs a few more small code cleanups and it's ready for packaging and sale! Well done -Coulum-, it's been great to be part of the process of bringing your excellent ideas to fruition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackmamb 2 Posted June 21, 2012 One thing: if you want to test with the hint, replace it by hintsilent. Or do not wear a headset. I almost died of a heart attack. done one test so far, on lingor, with 100 units, asr, ACE, and stuff. Looks good. Will try it without ace and see if there isn't anything conflicting though.

-Coulum- 35 Posted June 21, 2012 Beautiful! So how did you get it to work in the end? Probably just needs a few more small code cleanups and it's ready for packaging and sale! Honestly... I have no fucking clue. I just rebooted the computer, and rewrote the whole script. It worked after that. I still haven't been able to find what was giving me trouble, probably some small seemingly unrelated error. And yes I think there are probably many refinements that could be made but I am off to a soccer game now, so that will have to wait until tomorrow. I also think there might be a bug where vehicle shots won't suppress soldiers - I didn't do a lot of testing though so I'm not positive. Well done -Coulum-, it's been great to be part of the process of bringing your excellent ideas to fruition. What do you mean "part of the process"? You practically were the process.:) Great job and many thanks tpw! One thing: if you want to test with the hint, replace it by hintsilent. Or do not wear a headset. I almost died of a heart attack. done one test so far, on lingor, with 100 units, asr, ACE, and stuff. Looks good. Will try it without ace and see if there isn't anything conflicting though. When I was writing the script I was testing it with ace so hopefully it works fine. And be warned that having the hint on actually cuts 5 fps or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackmamb 2 Posted June 21, 2012 That's cool cause i have a very nice fps rate here, even though i have quite a load of mods loaded, playing in the biggest city on lingor with around 200 units (and the hint). Means that your script doesn't cut that much into it! Well done to both of you! And yeah, seems to be working just fine with ace. Beeing an automatic rifleman finally means something in here. Seems that you can very quickly reduce the skills of an enemy group to zero if you keep laying down some proper suppressive fire! What we need now is some MP testing/adjusting!

tpw 2314 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I also think there might be a bug where vehicle shots won't suppress soldiers - I didn't do a lot of testing though so I'm not positive. The whole system is set up to ignore shooters in vehicles at present (ie it only runs if vehicle _x == _x). So it's not a bug as such. The idea was that you don't want to be able to suppress a player in a vehicle (imagine being able to suppress a jet by shooting an assault rifle at it from the ground), but the side effect is that a player in a vehicle can't suppress a foot unit. Will have to think about that one some more.

blackmamb 2 Posted June 22, 2012 imagine being able to suppress a jet by shooting an assault rifle at it from the ground Would it go prone? What if you'd go with something like: if ((side tpw_fired != _unit getVariable "SupSide") && (vehicle _x == _x)) then i.e Checking that only when it comes to actually apply suppressive effects?

mr_centipede 31 Posted June 22, 2012 Back in ARMA days, second's suppression script use bullet type to determine suppression effects. So an AA type weapon like the ZU-23 can have a bigger effect suppressing the infantry. Though I cant remember if it can suppress vehicle or not... But overall I think it should in some ways able to suppress the vehicle/static weapon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted June 22, 2012 Perhaps something else to consider would be unit resistance to suppression (i.e. SF), but this may be moving too far into Robalo territory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2314 Posted June 22, 2012 Perhaps something else to consider would be unit resistance to suppression (i.e. SF), but this may be moving too far into Robalo territory. That's my thought. We want all these addons to get along with each other. Once we are at proper release time, I'll probably make a "lite" version that does only stance changes and no other skill or behavioural stuff, so that it really stays out of the way of other AI mods.
