axeman Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Testing some AI flocking behaviour using the UAV as my 'boids', though they currently act more like a swarm of house flies :) Thinking about ways to apply this.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmL8IEIpL5Y Richie, Axle and waynewr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
READTHESCROLL Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Please tell me you are going to apply that behavior to a zombie mod. That would be very very cool. Or maybe that is for Sappers and having them migrate? Just as cool if so. I think we already have enough drones that randomly appear above the player :P :lol: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStainlessSteelRat Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) From what you say I gathered this 'flocking' behaviour could be added to any AI?If it is specifically the UAV that is flocking I imagine some electronic signal occurring in the world would 'cause' this behaviour drawing the AI to an area, hopefully also players, where there is maybe a FOB with numerous AI soldiers and loot!Or possibly it could be linked to a decaying players base, where the jammer is no longer maintained and the swarm of UAVs alerts other players to the location.If this is the case the UAVs would have their usual detection mission disabled, allowing players to follow the swarm?I know you have been working on sapper migrations, is this part of that work or separate?

Face Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Awesome, a space battle with lasers! Just kidding, the "lasers" are probably just lines for debugging purposes. All things AI behavior related are always nice to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Interesting.. Some sort of flying threat would be very interesting. I'm not talking about a bot but a creature rather that can cause damage to a player. In various group sizes dependent on the amount of players in a given area. Take those current characteristics and change the skin to some sort of vampired looking vulture and amend the flying characteristics so it dives onto a player if it can.

Suppe Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 99 % of the epoch servers have disabled the UAV drone... - annoy - create laggsss Sorry, but why not more ? So at least my opinion.... ZENITHOVMAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axeman Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hmm, food for thought. The routine could be applied to agents, they do have a habit of pathing regardless of where you send them and the code would need tweaking as it currently used setVelocity rather then worldspace positions for its next target position. Am looking to add object avoidance next. Is definitely currently more suited to a free flying object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 It does remind me of circling vultures could this be applied to the existing birds in Arma so they congregate over a corpse or corpses. A2 dayz used to have those dead body heaps that you could loot sometimes so you could have a kind of macabre supply drop marked by circling birds.
