I've noticed that AI become slightly smarter when you ask them to follow you, they tend to use the HintNodes alot more, they shoot a bit more accurately, they use sprint when you run and they engage their enemies at a slightly longer distance.

Is there a possible way to make the AI do all that (Or some of that) without asking them to follow you ?

here are a few topics discussing ways to make the ai "smarter"

it would be probably nice to have one topic with all ways

Ah, why thank you very much, my good man.

you are welcome

I looked at one of the threads and tried adding in this -

SetPlayerTeamDifficulty(15)
SetEnemyTeamDifficulty(15)

To my LUA, but it keeps crashing as soon as it starts, am I doing something wrong?

do the logs complain about anything?

Thats all thats in my log

that looks like you put the command in the wrong place, did ypu put it in the scripostload function?

I placed mine under function ScriptInit()

then try to put it under/in scriptpostload.

I tried it, my map didn't crash, but now AI don't spawn.

my error log showed this:

I placed it in my LUA like this:

function ScriptPostLoad()

SetPlayerTeamDifficulty(20)
SetEnemyTeamDifficulty(20)
