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

You can turn off the settings you don't want to use, such as the AI taking empty vehicles. The AI has a chance of ragdolling when getting shot. This too can be customized. This is all explained in the original post.

Has anyone had issues with ai being pretty invulnerable ? I think something else is going on with our server tbh and doubt its vcom, but just wanted to rule vcom out. 

 

Be grateful if someone could let me know me know, if all is normal regarding invulnerability, or noticed any significant changes regarding invulnerability .

Thanks

 I had some enemy AI in civilian cars that wouldnt die but they weren't returning fire either -its was like I had killed them but the animation didnt kick in until I either got real close or kicked them out of the car (entering vehicle)

 

@Montgomery - im not really criticizing Im just mentioning they could be tweaked a bit of deciding when to jump into a vehicle. Meaning jumping into a sedan without a waypoint is kinda silly but again, did lead to some surprise encounters when they jumped out on me rifles blazing

I sure hope so, don't see any reason for it not too

 

 

 

 

Just tested it intensively in yesterdays mission and it works like a charm. Instant effect. Great work !!! Nice to have vcom back. Arma is just not the same.

We had an op last night, experienced nothing like you decribe.

Hi all,

 

I am trying to use Vcom with Alive but I have an issue that my air support and arty support get taken over by Vcom. 

 

If I understand correctly the command

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

 

disables Vcom for a group but would this also work for a single vehicle, aircraft or helicopter?

 

thanks

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?

My mistake, finally it’s not vcom ai 3.0 but vcom driver which delay the gameplay. Sorry

Great stuff Dom,

Yeah thanks, appreciated. Found the problem and as expected nothing to do with vcom. 

Loving the new version of vcom. Thanks again Genesis.

Having the ai steal vehicles was amusing but ultimately was unpopular with players. If disabling this ability is new, I'll be trying it again.

Also, does this include vcom driving?

[Andreas_Forkbeard 1]

is the behaviour of AI Pilots in planes been altered?
like, priority targeting, using dumb bombs and so on.

also, does ground units call for CAS if there are friendly air assets available, similar to artillery?
 

i really like this mod.. but AI is still behaving rather irradic at times..
but, i guess nothing is perfect. its a lot better then stock AI atleast :D

 

[SnakeDocc 72]

I'm going through the settings for my server and I have a few questions, are the difficulty variables fixed values now instead of a value with a random swing variable, and is the suppression mechanic gone for ai as well as players?

[kaicooper87 1]

i have to AI issues

1- Genesis AI not replaying our quistions

2- Ai in vehicles got some issues and specially in mission MORAL FIBER they dont move

 

this mod is Epic..much better then other ai mods

but it fuked up some Campaign mission..anyway to fix this?

[Guest]

Can anyone please confirm that even with ai skills changed to false the ai still has their skill altered by Vcom? Spawned some units in the editor and via Zeus and their skill levels were immediately changed by Vcom - only possible way to change their skills was to manually alter it in Zeus. Tried it with and without user config, filepatching turned on, "vcom affecting skill settings" changed to false. In 2.94 it worked flawlessly.
Another issue I encountered so far was that several AI like to bunch at one spot they consider to be cover.
Thanks for your work Genesis.

Sounds like accurate human like behaviour if my units anything to go by

VCOM_AI ... the first AI mod that encourages human shields :)

[rossoe 46]

I'm trying to set the following:

   VCM_StealVeh = false; //Will the AI steal vehicles.

 

from within the hpp files:

   \@Vcom AI V3.0\addons\userconfig\VCOM_AI\AISettingsV3.hpp

   \@Vcom AI V3.0\userconfig\VCOM_AI\AISettingsV3.hpp

 

I can of course do it via CBA in game, but just wondered why it's not possible via settings files?

[Moon_chilD 200]

Well, this file ("\VCOM_AI\AISettingsV3.hpp") needs to be in the Userconfigs folder in your Arma 3 installation folder (if I'm not completely wrong)

 

[dlegion 98]

GLove this mod !

You made what BIS should have done !

Thanks man !

@rossoe you need to drag the userconfig folder out into the main Arma3 directory..  Edit it then with how you want it.

You will then need to add @VCOM_AI onto your command line.

 

EDIT:  @Moon_chilD beat me to it.

 Same here. Just double checked that it was set to false in Userconfig, added enemy squad + empty pickup truck and as soon as they detected me (combat mode) they loaded into the truck

You have seen kremator and my answer?

It won't help. There is something wrong with the user config. I have similar issues  -  formation set to false in user config and they still changed their formation. The same goes for AI skills. And yes, file patching enabled and userconfig placed in the right folder. 2.94 worked fine though, dunno know what could be causing it.

[Montgomery 205]

@froggyluv @Lothear

There are settings for vcom in 3 different locations. There are the CBA settings that you can only change in game from the addon options menu, there is the .hpp file in the userconfig, and there is the VcomAI_DefaultSettings.sqf file located inside the functions folder I believe. I'm still not sure which one takes precedence, but if you make the settings the same in all of them, you should get the desired result.
