AI Pathfinding

Mad Mike the mad mad crushers Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 2,900 Joined: Aug 1, 2007 northern farmlands map.. I jumped the berm to get into the open area. It took awhile for NPCs to figure out they had to go over the high berm to get to me because on that map the road is surrounded by them. Made it easier because they came at me one at a time but not complaining! but the fact they didnt go over the berm nad tried other ways to only find out there isnt and then came out me showed some intelligence. ......................... vet wv Posted Apr 28, 2009, 11:49 pm

Currently, the vehicle type is not part of the calculation. I guess it probably should be, but it would mean defining some sort of per-chassis scaling factor. Quote: AI upgrades! I love them!

I could undeerstand if the NPC driver was scared to drive over where I did. Could be the case... It will let you have a very good chance to get away if they get close, which he was. ......................... vet wv Posted Apr 30, 2009, 2:33 am

They didnt show alot of improvement with me either, although they all made it harder for me to hit them when they stooped and didnt climb. They basically drove out of my LOS, so I had to get 2 of my 3 occupants out and empty their ped weapons into them. One car of the 4 did try and drive around, but where I was camped, he wasnt getting to me anyways. There just wasnt a better route than the way I went. Only thing getting where I was would be a very fast muscle car. I was using a 3.2V8 with A armor Buccaneer. ......................... vet combatL1 ped1 paintladder semiprocombat ped2 wv pvp4 pvp1 gwped paintball pvp3 pvp5 slay2013 marshal circuit2 combat1 e2g raceL1 gwextrav gateautumn pvp2 triangle1 Posted Apr 30, 2009, 2:46 am

The Paranoid Tourist Precipitous Treachery Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,828 Joined: Jan 12, 2007 I had a couple of events in which the AI got stuck trying to climb a hill. In neither event did they try to back down and go around the hill(s). Though one Gallowglass did make a valiant attempt at climbing a very steep hill. (One was at gates of SS, the other at Bloody Red Sky) ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted Apr 30, 2009, 2:55 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 How steep were the hills? There are several other algorithms used by the NPCs to get from point A to point B.. the pathfinding we have been discussing is their favoured approach, but they fall back on other approaches when that fails. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 30, 2009, 11:08 am

Quite steep. Unless I have a pretty good speed going I cant get up there. And without A armor I dont think I can either, hehe ......................... vet combatL1 ped1 paintladder semiprocombat ped2 wv pvp4 pvp1 gwped paintball pvp3 pvp5 slay2013 marshal circuit2 combat1 e2g raceL1 gwextrav gateautumn pvp2 triangle1 Posted Apr 30, 2009, 12:50 pm

The Paranoid Tourist Precipitous Treachery Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,828 Joined: Jan 12, 2007 Bloody Red Sky: The hill wasn't terribly steep and the NPC could have made it up with a bit of speed, but I think it came into it only shortly after the start. He was within about 20 meters of the proper road which would've taken him to the same place that he wanted to go. Gates of SS: The two cars which got stuck were trying to climb a hill only the climbiest of cars could actually make. They chose to climb rather than go around the hill, this time about 60 meters from the pass. ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted Apr 30, 2009, 12:57 pm

Mad Mike the mad mad crushers Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 2,900 Joined: Aug 1, 2007 I have noticed when they lose sight of your vehicle they slow down and bunch up again unless you have them really split up. they also go full speed and climb a hill if you did the same to get a nice high shooting position, something that has changed. before they wouldnt attempt to climb the slope you just went full speed to climb. getting harder to find spots they wont climb ......................... vet wv Posted May 29, 2009, 2:48 pm

OK, well since I joined and subbed. The AI learns from YOUR/OUR mistakes! It may take a while before you see the change, but IT WILL change! Tell me a year from now that I am wrong. We both have to prove our side of the (AI-getting smarter/or not) debate!

PieMonster Exalted Racer Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 103 Joined: Nov 29, 2008 I put most of the pirate pursuit in a recent 6 car solo scout into a deep sandbowl using spikes on a narrow road... normally they will try the steep side and not get out... This time they traversed the bowl to the shallow gradient and exited there, with some stopping in the middle of the bowl as they now had LOS on 1 or 2 of my cars... Definately better routing and logic there... Pie ......................... vet elmsautumn gwped wv Posted May 31, 2009, 7:21 pm
