AI using Greenheart ships were a bit dangerous eh?

sometimes, but i suck, too, so there's that. just getting them where the ai uses their weapons well, then going from there.

Just being curious, I know what the weapon mask does but what all AI processes allow the AI to fire multiple weapon groups at once? (or at least fire different weapons based on what they are shooting at, I believe this was done in G66?)

Check the rocket- or assault-tank odf, its explained there.

aiName = "RocketTankFriend"
aiName2 = "RocketTankEnemy"

is the one i use that cycles through weaponMask fully, but you need to make sure to add a short (50..100) aiRange to the specials it uses, otherwise the special will fire all the time.

Ah.. ok, I had seen a thing that kind of explained the AI processes and which ones can use multiple weapons and such, thanks (I derailed your thread though, sorry :/)

Actually, you no longer need to use RocketTank AI for units to use weaponMask as of Z6.

Code: Select all

- Added an ODF property to control UnitTask::SelectWeapon:

[CraftClass]
UseSelectWeapon = 1	// If > 0, enable SelectWeapon

Disabling SelectWeapon restores the original weapon selection and firing
logic that carried over from BZ1.  The unit aims with a representative
weapon and fires every weapon in its weaponMask.  [Ken]

set to False and the AI will use WeaponMask, no matter the AI type. (This means turrets/walkers can do it now)

Something tells me now we will see AI using ISDF walkers that fire blast and laser at you

What have I done...

forgot about that

Would be nice if we could get the AIP check the gamesettings, so if weapon linking is turned on/off so would it be for the AI .. and actually respect the players wishes.

Use em in Hold Plans so that if the Player's decide to attack, they will be there waiting.
