.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Arent they cute?
Staring at each other like this ( except that they are 4 floors of concrete from actually seeing each other )


The bots sometimes stop and do this ( only this ). The soldiers on the bottom floor look up, and the soldiers on the top floor look down...

A possible cause for this is that its a map with -fast VIS compile: so they CAN actually see each other. If so the problem will go away in the -final compile....
Any other smart reason for this?

I'd consider using monster clip between the floors. Give it a quick try.

This is a very common problem and I thoroughly hate it. Singleplayer AI does it as well. I'm afraid there's no other solution than to modify the game code and remove their irritating turret behaviour altogether. But alas, when will we get the source....

Here's an old thread from before my bots beta release:

Although the solution found (eleminating all hearing and enemyshareranges) strongly reduced the problem, it still happens every now and then, especially on very vertical maps like yours.

When you make a bot map you really have to take this into account. They like the flat country.

Hmmm... OK... now I know ewhat I can do with it.
Did you find any "optimal hearing" value jv?

0 is what they use now (no hearing at all).

I cant find how to define the hearing in the manual... what command should i use?

The bots scripts don't let you customize it
(it's in spawnhandler_default.scr)

In next release? They look like morons right now...

I know but it only gets worse if you increase hearing...

i also had these dumb axis shooting at the sky for no reason.
