Question: When knowsAbout is high - AI won't follow WP?

[scottb613 284]

Hi Folks,

 

When knowsAbout is high - it is impossible for me to get AI Squads to forget and move to the next WP.

 

Even though they can't see me to shoot - I'm hidden in the brush - knowsAbout seldom decreases - they just stand there.

 

Is there some type of time out with AI - as the AI squad - at times - just deletes itself after standing still for a long period of time - in this mode. 

 

Trying to set reveal to "0" seems to have no effect.

 

I've tried all the usual suspects - disableAI - reveal - move - commandMove - mode changes - delete and create new WP...

 

Is there any way to do this?

 

Thanks.

 

Regards,
Scott

Hi Folks, 

 

Still no luck.

 

{
    _x forgetTarget player;
    _x reveal [player, 0];
    _x disableAI "TARGET";
    _x disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
    _x disableAI "SUPPRESSION"; 
    _x disableAI "COVER";  
    _x disableAI "AUTOCOMBAT"; 
    _x setCombatMode "BLUE";  
    _x setBehaviour "AWARE";  
} forEach (units Hunt2);

 

Any thoughts appreciated.

Scott

Hi Folks,

 

Beat a square peg on a round hole long enough - and eventually it goes through.

 

This seems to work consistently. knowsAbout - never changes - pegged at 4 - but the group does proceed to the next WP.

 

				//Attempt to clear AI to follow WP when amok
				for "_i" from 1 to 4 do {
					{
						private _unitHunt = _x;
						{
							private _unitPlay = _x;
							_unitHunt forgetTarget _unitPlay;
							_unitHunt reveal [_unitPlay, -1];
						} forEach units group player;

						_unitHunt disableAI "TARGET";
						_unitHunt disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
						_unitHunt disableAI "SUPPRESSION";
						_unitHunt disableAI "FSM";     
						_unitHunt disableAI "COVER";  
						_unitHunt disableAI "AUTOCOMBAT"; 
						
						sleep .25;

						_unitHunt enableAI "TARGET";
						_unitHunt enableAI "AUTOTARGET";
						_unitHunt enableAI "SUPPRESSION";
						_unitHunt enableAI "FSM";
						_unitHunt enableAI "COVER";
						_unitHunt enableAI "AUTOCOMBAT"; 

						_unitHunt setCombatMode "BLUE";  
						_unitHunt setBehaviour "AWARE";
						_unitHunt setUnitPos "UP";
					
					} forEach (units _huntGroup);
				};

Scott

Hi...

 

Thanks for the response - yeah - I kind of settled on this - it seems to work:

 

// FUNCTION - Reset Amok AI Squad 
_fcUnitsAmok = {
    params ["_huntGroup"];
    for "_i" from 1 to 4 do {
        {
            private _unitHunt = _x;
            {
                private _unitPlay = _x;
                _unitHunt forgetTarget _unitPlay;
                _unitHunt reveal [_unitPlay, -1];
            } forEach units group player;

            _unitHunt disableAI "TARGET";
            _unitHunt disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
            _unitHunt disableAI "SUPPRESSION";
            _unitHunt disableAI "FSM";     
            _unitHunt disableAI "COVER";  
            _unitHunt disableAI "AUTOCOMBAT"; 

            sleep 0.15;

            _unitHunt enableAI "TARGET";
            _unitHunt enableAI "AUTOTARGET";
            _unitHunt enableAI "SUPPRESSION";
            _unitHunt enableAI "FSM";
            _unitHunt enableAI "COVER";
            _unitHunt enableAI "AUTOCOMBAT"; 

            _unitHunt setCombatMode "BLUE";  
            _unitHunt setBehaviour "AWARE";
            _unitHunt setUnitPos "UP";
    
        } forEach (units _huntGroup);
    }; 
};
