In the past, it did not work when setting this command on the fly (Atleast i have only ever made it work from the editor.). Does that work now?

Quote

(group this) setVariable ["Vcm_Disable",true]; //This command will disable Vcom AI on a group entirely.

Awesome stuff dude, really happy to see 3.0
ARMA just isn't right without VCOM.

Thank you for all the work you've put into this, I even enjoy watching all the YouTube coding videos :hammer:

Thank you :)  It's always fun to work on ArmA...I am always learning.

 

I just snuck in a mini-fix for CBA & Vcom just now....

I'm testing the new mod version in Dissension (after disabling the script version in the init) and a group is stuck in a loop of embark disembark with their APC. They have received a call for reinforcement and known the enemy position but are to far away (500m).

 

Maybe it's better to disable the embark order if they are in combat mode or test the distance with enemy before disembarking.

I have also tested the AI with Hetman war stories and it's troublesome that vcom call for backup artillery units or empty unarmed transports.

 

Also got those errors :

CBA settings is not showing up in the addon version.

EDIT: it does show up but only inside the mission, not 3DEN editor. It would be nice if you could edit the parameters before the mission launch via CBA settings.

Thanks for the update by the way!

I have the same issue. Would be nice to change CBA settings in 3DEN editor.

So, if I'm updating to 3.0  I should just wipe my old 2.x folder on server, and install full 3.0 @VCOM folder to server. 
We use CBA, so do I need to include any of the USERCONFIG folders like normal?

Thanks for the update.

 

I loved using this AI behaviour mod but I stopped using it in the past because my AI team members wouldn't follow orders and eventually would stop moving all together.

I understood that was a know issue at the time, has that problem been resolved? Does using the command [(group this) setVariable ["Vcm_Disable",true]; //This command will disable Vcom AI on a group entirely] in the init field work to resolve this problem?

 

thanks

@genesis92x If I'm hosting a mission on my pc for some friends and I and we're running CBA, should I make the AI changes I want via the userconfig, VcomAI_DefaultSettings.sqf, or using the CBA settings?

Amazing work, and it seems to have sorted a issue I had where I wanted to run both Vcom AI and VCOM AI Driving together. Before it seemed to cancel out the great benefits from VCOM AI Driving, but now I can run both  woohoo.

 

Tested several times and clever driving around large obstacles like crashed helicopters etc is persisting. and I can now get the extra benefits of your latest Vcom AI to boot.

 

Can you please confirm if you have completely removed driving elements from the v3.0 Vcom AI?

 

only error I'm seeing so far is this:

happens when I place a load of soldiers in the way of vehicles route.

 

Thank you for your hard work on this one.

Posted this in the old thread just before it was closed, hoping for a clarification on some of the "fluff" that got removed. 

 

It was mentioned that the driving is now "default behavior", does that mean VCOM driving has been taken out and is handed back to vanilla? If so will VCOM driving still be supported as a separate mod/script? Personally i find the driving improvements to be one of the most important things, my community has become so heavily reliant on VCOM driving just for enemy AI to get from A to B let alone actually do any kind of convoy stuff remotely well.

Hi, Despite the optimization, I still have some delay issue for ordering high command in Liberation with C2/AIC link to vcom. Does somebody see the same things?

The grabbing of empty cars seems a bit arbitrary at times -especially when enemy squads are hanging out all about town in old sedans :P It actually makes for some fun surprising gameplay when you have actually civilians in cars mixed in with Takistani militia but not sure why they seem to just jump in cars with no waypoint. Also, is this mod adding something like speed or explosiveness to the getting shot animation? -It seems like guys are getting slammed to the ground (add the cool headwear blowup mod) and its glorious. Overall this AI mod adds so much -love it

Ben - I noted above that seperate Driving mod seems to work well with new update.
