AI cheating

[afp 1]

I saw it many times but now I managed to capture on a video... I was playing with the editor and the enemy respawned from nowhere, just when I wasn't looking that area... look at second 6, no enemies, 2 seconds later 3 in that area.

Is it any explanation for this? I'm also using ACE mod.

This is a joke right?

Unfortunatelly not. It happened before, I was looking at an area, changed view and two seconds later enemies in the middle of it.

when you use ace, both you and ai can be shot and made unconcious.

They didn't die, they just blanked out for a while and got back up.

There could be number of reasons you saw troops where there apparently had not seen them before. But to explain this would need more detail from the OP about the mission, the server and such.

I have another proof of cheap technics of AI implementation that managed to ruin all the fun for me... can't say yet where it comes from (mod or game) still its pretty much clear that this was done on purpose. When you see enemies respawning from nowhere or running like this, all the realism stuff instantly fades away.

I just hope I wont find something like this in ArmA 2 too. :mad:

PS Echo, first movie was done in editor, so locally.

Errr... this is stuff in MP mission, right? I guess that Dynamic AI Creator is the thing that You're reporting :)

Ah... it looks like it.... I've unpacked things all morning and found some weird stuff about AI DAC related in battle center indeed....

It would have to be pretty badly set up if you ever see the AI spawning though. :p

The ACE folks did take this complaint seriously and welcomed the trouble ticket afp posted about it. In the end it did seem not to be an ACE issue.

The patch levels of ArmA and ACE should be mentioned and in the case of custom missions, the add-ons and mods used and hopefully the mission itself go a long way in determining the problem. After all - our hands are tied if we can't duplicate the problem.
