AI questions

Paranoia · Cyborg Specialist **Joined**: 04 Aug 2007

I was mucking around with the AI for Tiberian Sun in Rules.ini - i was exploring the effect of the TeamDelays tag.

i reduced it to 2000 frames and the result was the AI, without building a tech centre, managed to produce the 3 disruptors taskforce.

I suppose this is a question about the nature of TS AI

what 'rules' do they exactly follow, and not follow?
i know they can build as many buildings as they want at one time.
AI also seams to have a very extraordinary economy, which is evident when lowering this TeamDelays tag...

The one thing i still dont understand about this game is the dam AI, messy code wise, stupid logic wise #Tongue

Dutchy to the rescue!
For basebuilding, they follow the codes in the rules.ini. For attacks, they follow the codes in ai.ini, and some codes from rules.ini

And the AI always tended to create units which prerequisites aren't fullified.

The AI was strange since TD (where it rebuilt buildings even if there were no adjacent buildings)

That can be fixed by editing the triggers in ai.ini, and disabling the creation of autoteams Wink

and they also break the build limit i set them to build 3 MMK2 (Knowing they would break the limit) we all know the rules.ini limit is 1

That's something that can't be fixed, or you must use only 1 attack which has a MM2/CyCom/any other unit with buildlimit.

I only want my AI to follow prerequisites, so the don't build Apocs when they only have a WF #Tongue

Autoteams eh? thought it had something to do with that... is there a way somehow of applying an economic handicap to an AI player?

Handicap for AI? No. You can only decrease the AICMultiplier, so it receives the same ammount of money as you do...

I'm not acquainted with this... do you mean MultiplayerAICM? what do the values correspond to?

learn how to use the search function Mad

, there are several previous topics that explains how the "MultiplayerAICM" and several other lines works.
(It was even me who explained how it works in one of the topics)

My apologies djohe, it all makes sense to me now.
