Help the devs! Public service mission adaptation

Citizens of Altis!

The devs have just rolled out log-awaited AI accuracy tweaks on dev branch. They need detailed, empirical feedback from players.

Unfortunately, everyone is too lazy.

I've found an old A2 mission for Utes that would answer this purpose admirably, but I don't know how to transfer its location and scripts to the Stratis airfield. It should be a simple job, and the ArmA community needs a good Samaritan who can jump on the job ASAP.

I'm being intentionally dramatic, but development is at a critical phase, and your contributions here will directly influence the quality of the game upon release.

The devs have heard us, now we need to back them up.

Mission here: http://www.filedropper.com/fabtargetrangeutes

Good night and good luck.

I'm running it right now on the dev branch stratis. I will provide the code and the result in the rpt in few minutes.

I had to change the target for an opfor soldier and it seems to work great.

"# targetrange session begin"

"#"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 50 - Stance: up - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 45 - On target avg: 45%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 50 - Stance: middle - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 47 - On target avg: 43%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 50 - Stance: down - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 47 - On target avg: 43%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 100 - Stance: down - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 56 - On target avg: 36%"

first run it gave that. At 200 it was too far for the marksman. :(

here's the files needed: mission.sqm and main.sqf. That's all

And the main.sqf that I had to modify due to a division by zero. I'm not sure it was that bad for the result...

That's fantastic! Thanks a bunch.

If you post your AI skill and precision settings, I'll show your data in the AI dev thread.

I got the marksman to complete the test by moving the team on the side of a hill.

The skill is 1 and the rest is by default.

I'll run another test with the whole array of skills of the spotter and shooter if you whish.

I've created the mission for myself with your code now.

Can you figure out why the shooter stops shooting? Are they running out of ammo?

they seem not to see the target sometime and get stuck in a search pattern.

I'll try a modif on the code to reveal again and stuff after a certain number of seconds.

I'll let you know when it's finished.

edit: btw, the whole array of skill is 1

edit2: it cannot get out of ammo, the fired event has a setVehicleAmmo 1 to the shooter (_unit)

Will run another time for consistency.

The MAIN problem as I see it is that the AI will snap the first shot missing to the right by quite a margin.

Run1

Will run another time for consistency.

The MAIN problem as I see it is that the AI will snap the first shot missing to the right by quite a margin.

Run2

Yeah, I did realised that too. It seem to miss the first shot "almost" every time. The way the script is done, the shooter has to turn 90 deg to the left to acquire the target. It would be that it shoot too fast. But as the targets generally moves, it may be a tactic to shoot one bullet just before. It may have better results on the field with real target??

I have not tried with another class though. But the range would have to be adjusted also I think.

---------- Post added at 20:39 ---------- Previous post was at 19:56 ----------

here with an AutoRifleman just for fun.

It does shoot few rounds even after a hit, and for now, it does count as shots. I'll take a look to see if I can change that. That only shots fired while target is alive is counted in.

Great stuff, guys. The devs are watching for results in the other thread linked below, so feel free to cross post:

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?159710-Development-Branch-AI-Discussion/page85

The snap-shot waste or rounds is definitely a factor, but it appears to affect the standing accuracy the most, and kneeling only a little. That just goes to underscore how little the AI gains from being prone, when it should make all the difference.

I'm playing the current dev branch and am running the test right now. So far, the accuracy is quite a bit higher than what it was in the beta. Accuracy so far for every stance and at each distance is over 41%. Compared to the results on the previous page, that's a pretty big difference (especially at 200 meters) and it explains why the game has been a lot less fun for me since release. I hope the AI tweaks from the beta return soon. Here is the full report:

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 50 - Stance: up - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 36 - On target avg: 56%"

Looks like we're still in rollback territory, then.

And it's really dire when prone and standing shots are the same.

So I changed over to the Stable branch because the Spotrep listed AI tweaks as being back in. I ran the test again and the AI is actually even more accurate:

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 50 - Stance: up - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 39 - On target avg: 52%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 50 - Stance: middle - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 38 - On target avg: 53%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 50 - Stance: down - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 35 - On target avg: 58%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 100 - Stance: up - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 39 - On target avg: 52%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 100 - Stance: middle - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 38 - On target avg: 53%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 100 - Stance: down - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 35 - On target avg: 58%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 200 - Stance: up - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 41 - On target avg: 49%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 200 - Stance: middle - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 43 - On target avg: 47%"

"# Skill: 1 - Distance: 200 - Stance: down - Iterations: 21 of 20 - Shots fired: 43 - On target avg: 47%"

Right. I'm playing on regular. I think these are default, but I'm not sure:

skillFriendly=1;

skillEnemy=0.69999999;

precisionFriendly=0.99999994;

precisionEnemy=0.45999998;

Oh, and the dev branch AI thread is a better place to post. No one reads this thread.
