AI Recon Droids

Lagomorphia · Post by **Lagomorphia** » Tue Aug 31, 2010 2:50 pm

For the last hour I've been attempting to make a recon droid that is completely AI controlled; you deploy it and it flies around shooting hostiles without you having to control it, like an autoturret. I've managed to fix a bug with the game still treating it as a remote and thus crashing but now it just hangs in the air waiting to be shot.

If it makes any difference (which I doubt) a hero unit (AQT's Durge) is deploying them.

Also, how do you make the droids follow their deployer? I remember a Kashyyyk map I played once where a commander could deploy four infantry units and they followed him, so it can be done.

Doing something like this involves lua coding. Try this topic http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 47#p126047

Sorry, I was going to put that in the first post but forgot.

You've got three different different "pilottype="s. Try commenting out the second two and try it.

Lagomorphia · Post by **Lagomorphia** » Wed Sep 01, 2010 4:07 am

According to the thread where I found out about PilotType = Self it has to go under the weaponsections too.

sim-al2 · Post by **sim-al2** » Wed Sep 01, 2010 5:29 am

Turret sections do need that for sure, I'm not sure about weapon sections though...

DarthD.U.C.K. · Post by **DarthD.U.C.K.** » Wed Sep 01, 2010 1:29 pm

you only need one pilottype = self" line but that depends on if the droid is a unit or a moving turret/vehicle, if is a turret put it in the turretsection, if its a unit it shouldnt have a turretsection

Lagomorphia · Post by **Lagomorphia** » Wed Sep 01, 2010 3:33 pm

I'll try using just one, but I think the first poster is probably right...

EDIT: Tried it, no change.

THere is a way to spawn droids that can follow you, using the lua editing pilotx suggested is the only possible way to do this, it will work but you may find that if the droid is still alive you wont be able to spawn another until the original dies, though that might just be a setting that can be modified.

I was reading through the script linked to in the first post, and have set up the required local team. However, I have no idea how to use the script. It looks like a simple matter of changing the right parts of the script. I've highlighted the parts I've changed in blue, and the parts I don't if I should change or what to to change to in red.

This is meant to spawn imp_inf_rifleman when imp_inf_stormofficer uses imp_weap_inf_spawntrooper.

Hidden/Spoiler:

TroopSpawnerWeapon = "imp_weap_inf_spawntrooper_ord"

   OnCharacterDispenseControllableTeam(

      function(character,controlled)

         if GetEntityClass(controlled) == GetEntityClassPtr(TroopSpawnerWeapon) then

            local SupportTeam = 3 --Team the new spawned character is in (change this)

            local teamSize = GetTeamSize(SupportTeam)

            for i = 0, teamSize-1 do

               local characterIndex = GetTeamMember(SupportTeam, i)

               local charUnit = GetCharacterUnit(characterIndex)

               if not charUnit then

                  local destination = GetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(character))

                  SpawnCharacter(characterIndex,destination)

               end

            end

         end

      end,

      IMP --User team (change this)
