I Hear You! - ACRE AI Detection Script

[zephyrdark 10]

Hey everyone.

I'm still pretty novice when comes to scripting. Lately been working on some new scripts. This script allows for hostile AI within the defined radius to detect players speaking and seek out the source of the sound. Its pretty rough in its current state, however it has proved to work.

Requires CBA

Requires ACRE

/*
I Hear You! Script by Blackpython of TacticalGamer.com
##########################################
***Requires CBA***

Script Call Line:
[-1, {nul=[*radius*,*hostile side*]execVM "IHearYou.sqf";}] call CBA_fnc_globalExecute;

*radius* = Radius Enemies can hear players
*hostile side* = WEST , EAST, RESISTANCE , CIVILIAN. Depending on the side that can hear you and react.

private ["_AIAry","_ret","_rad","_wpNew","_side","_pos","_posPlay"];
_rad = _this select 0;
_side = _this select 1;
_AIAry = [];
while {true} do
{
   if (isServer) exitWith {};
   {if (side _x == _side) then {_AIAry = _AIAry + [_x]}} forEach allUnits;
   {if (_x in _AIAry) then {_AIAry = _AIAry - [_x]}} forEach allDead;
   {
       if ((_x distance player) <= _rad) then 
       {
           {if (_x != player) then {_AIAry = _AIAry + [_x]}} forEach allUnits;
           {if (_x in _AIAry) then {_AIAry = _AIAry - [_x]}} forEach allDead;
           _ret = [player] call acre_api_fnc_isSpeaking;
           if (_ret) then
           {
               _x setBehaviour "AWARE";
               _pos = getpos player;
               _posPlay = [(_pos select 0) + round(random 15),(_pos select 1) - round(random 15)];
               _wpNew = (group _x) addWaypoint [_posPlay, 0];
               _wpNew setWaypointType "MOVE";
               (group _x) setCurrentWaypoint _wpNew;
           }
       }
   }  forEach _AIAry;
   sleep 0.1;

Shit dude, that may be something I was looking for for some time already!

One question: does the script define AI awareness by checking how loud player speaks? Whisper could be a huge solution here!

[zephyrdark 10]

I really wish it could. I use the API for ACRE that detects if a player is speaking. Doesn't handle volume sadly. If I knew how to write a plugin for that I wold, but... :/

Oh, wow, this needs way more views!

Works just fine, thanks alot!

Can't seem to get this to work.

[Cytreen 14]

Can anyone confirm if this really works. I have been testing this out in my ACE Insurgency missions and it does not seem to do anything.

[MadMike-Brig2010- 10]

Doesn´t seem to work here, too.

Where should "[-1, {nul=[25,EAST]execVM "IHearYou.sqf";}] call CBA_fnc_globalExecute;" be placed? In init.sqf or the init of the AI-leader?

[raptor 6 actual 13]

Very interested to try this also. Looks pretty sweet. Keep up the work.

[Binkowski 26]

Love the concept! Going to definitely check this out.

Hey Mike,

better later than never:

You simply put it inside the init.sqf.

Have you thought of maybe integrating this with the recently released ShackTac ACRE volume control mod?
