ai mod [Release] Vcom AI 3 - Dangerous AI

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

Could someone please test this for me using Vcom. I have a ammo trunk in a town with a sentry waypoint right next to the trunk followed by two move waypoints leaving the town. It always worked perfectly but with Vcom the trunk never completes the sentry waypoint and just like moves within the town. I put the code in the init of the driver of the ammo trunk (group _unit) setVariable ["VCM_Disable",true]; but it appears Vcom still takes over the truck if I delete the sentry waypoint through Zeus it will then follow its waypoints. Does Vcom somehow alter sentry waypoint. Thank you Avibird

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

I read that the hold waypoint while using Vcom acts like a garrison waypoint. Does Vcom change the way the sentry waypoint works? AVIBIRD

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

Need clarification

PC >local disk (C) >program files (x86) > steam > steam apps > common > arma3 inside a folder !workshop I have 12 different versions of Vcom AI

V2.6 to V3.4.0 my question is do I need to delete the old versions and could this be the cause of my issues with the disable code not working. AVIBIRD

gerhart · June 9, 2012

I've deleted all previous versions and I have no issues @avibird 1

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

@gerhart I will give that a go. I just can't understand way the disable code will not work or the ammo trunks will not complete the sentry waypoint and move out of the town. Very frustrating since Vcom makes the AI fighting so much better but one of the main objectives of this mission is to destroy three ammo trucks before it leaves the town and if they do you lose the mission. it's pretty hard to lose a mission if the truck's never leave the town 😂

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

@gerhart I believe that fixed my problem 👍. I don't understand why some mods will have multiple versions in the steam folder following updates and other mods will not. I had a bunch of different mods with multiple versions inside my workshop folder. This is something I will check on a regular basis now following updates. Could somebody explain why this happens to some mods and not others. AVIBIRD

gerhart · June 9, 2012

That's great to hear. I believe the issue with some mods having multiple versions still in their folder is Steam not properly deleting files/folders if they have been removed from the mod. Also if the author changes the name, for instance Vcom being named after specific versions, I don't think Steam will delete that and will just add the newer version as it's own entity but I may be wrong on that. Again nice to see you have it fixed

I notice the AI doesn't want to take helicopters any longer since the latest Arma game update 2.00 - is it broken or just my config?

iV - Ghost · January 14, 2016

Having some problems. I'm using version 3.4.0 (Mod).

1. I have no CBA Settings available in the editor.

2. In my missions on our server I use the file patching version instead

and VCOM use the skills from this file (AISettingsV3.hpp) although these are deactivated (VCM_SKILLCHANGE = false;).

.rpt

19:46:56 [CBA] (xeh) INFO: [0,13.429,0] PreStart started.
19:46:56 [CBA] (settings) INFO: Userconfig: File [userconfig\cba_settings.sqf] loaded successfully.
  
  
...
  
  
19:50:19 "VCOM: Loaded Userconfig"
19:50:48 "VCOM: Loaded CBA settings"

I have no CBA Settings defined because I can not see them in the editor.

But the rpt shows me that these have been loaded.

Some ideas what can I do?

ARTY SUPPORT

An option for active/deactivate arty support for faction (VCM_ARTYFACTIONS) not only for side (VCM_ARTYSIDES) would be great.

In our missions we fight against CSAT, AAF and Syndicate. But Syndicate (GUER) should not request for arty support from AAF (GUER).

...he did?

...but to answer the comment/question, it works just fine. No issues but I can only vouch for SP

If you check out his Youtube channel he did some coding on it about 6 months ago. Guess he got bored or busy.

Hello Vcom AI users need some help. I can't get VCOM AI not to run on a playable/switchable group. This codes only work for AI groups. If you have a playable group and you the player is in the group Vcom will not move the group to new waypoints but if you have a group of playable AI Vcom will take over that group and move them around the map. I tried disable norescue no flank commands but does not work.

Can anyone suggest a way to not allow VCom AI to not run on playable units.

KNlGHT · June 2, 2016

Could you add to VCOM AI?:

1. if aiUnit has NVGs equipped, set spotDistance to 1

and

2. depending on time of day, and weather type, set spotDistance to a number to reflect the difficulty to see

major-stiffy · February 23, 2015

@genesis92x decided to stop improving this great mod. It's a shame because in a previous video he was working on some exciting things to release. I'll let him explain it in his own words.

avibird 1 · October 9, 2008

@genesis92x thank you for all of your work. I do understand where you are coming from. What I hear the new game engine is really not that much better and is lacking a lot of basic functions that OFP-Arma series has and no real improvements with scripting ect. I have been playing OFP since 2001. Sad BI is going in the wrong direction. Avibird.

Pity. Because vcom ai has anoying “bug” with droping fps. Need a fix.
