The Universal AI Starter Kit

#161 I am getting a very odd bug in torque 3d. Whenever I die and the mission reloads the ai don't spawn. It has happened quite a lot and I really need a fix. Have you fixed this and if so can you please post the fix here?

#162 In the T3D instructions for The UAISK version 1.1.2, step 6 says "Add to the end of the function:" but that code should really be added to the beginning of the function instead of the end. If you move that code up, it should fix this issue. That fix is already in version 1.2 which I sent to TorquePowered 3 weeks ago.

#163 Ok thanks heaps. Will do soon and post a reply if it works or not.

#164 It hasn't made any difference :( Here is how my code looks:

function GameCore::startGame(%game)
{

//AISK Changes: Start
//Reset the team count
$TotalTeams = 0;
//Prepare the AI spawn markers
loadMarkers();
//Spawn "all" AI spawn groups
AIPlayer::actionByGroup("all", "spawn");
//AISK Changes: End

//echo (%game @"\c4 -> "@ %game.class @" -> GameCore::onStartGame");
if ($Game::Running)
{
error("startGame: End the game first!");
return;
}

// Inform the client we're starting up
for (%clientIndex = 0; %clientIndex < ClientGroup.getCount(); %clientIndex++)
{
%cl = ClientGroup.getObject(%clientIndex);
commandToClient(%cl, 'GameStart');

// Other client specific setup..
%cl.score = 0;
}

// Start the game timer
if ($Game::Duration)
$Game::Schedule = schedule($Game::Duration * 1000, 0, "onGameDurationEnd");
$Game::Running = true;
}

#165 Did you recompile your dso files after you made the change?

#166 Yeah, I deleteted all my dso files a while ago.

#167 set

$Game::Running = 0;

at the start of the \game\core\scripts\server\server.cs destroyServer() and they will spawn all the time

#168 That fix works. Thanks :)

#169 The Universal AI Starter Kit version 1.2 is now available for download. Thank you everyone (both employees and community members) who helped with getting it out.

If anyone has errors or features they would like to discuss, you can now post about it in The Universal AI Starter Kit's new private forum section. And if you don't see much activity in this topic from now on, it's because all of the conversations have moved to our new private area.

#170 Is it possible to get this working with the RTS Starter kit ? It doesnt use the AIplayer but a child copy if it called RTSUnit ... so doubtful it would work "as is".

Anyone merged this into the kit successfully ?

#171 Ok, I have read most of this thread and don't see the problem a am having.
I am using T3D 1.1.0 Beta 3 and Version 1.6.0 of the The Universal AI Starter Kit.

the problem:
bots on opposite teams will fight each other, but they will not attack the player even when on a different team. now a bot on a different team will track the player but never shoot at it. This happens when with all aggressive behaviors.

I have reintegrated the kit using the Custom Install twice and know that i have the thing integrated correctly according to the instructions for t3d.

any thoughts?

#172 Correction it is T3D Beta 2 that i am using

#173 Just wondering, how do I install this? Where do I get installation instructions?

#174 If you have already purchased The Universal AI Starter Kit, the installation instructions are inculded with the zip file that you can download from your product page (and you can also ask any future questions you may have in our private forum). Otherwise you can purchase The Universal AI Starter Kit here.

#175 Hi Twisted

First of this KIT is awesome!! Ive used it on the past few releases of T3D and everything has worked great. Awesome Job!!

My question is, Have you tested V1.8 with T3D 1.2?

I tried installing 1.8 with a fresh copy of 1.2 using the FPS Tutorial Template and I'm having some problems with the AI firing... it seems that either the AI doesn't fire at all or it only fires every 5 or so seconds.

Also, Im using the Soldier/Alien Character packs for my AI along with the Soldier/Alien weapon packs and both have the same results.

Thanks,
Dominick

#176 Dominick@ I have exact same setup & results -- AI was attacking great until I merged in the Alien Art pack.

Thought it might be inventory related, added code for clips. but that wasnt it.

EDIT: removed code from non-private forum

#177 @ Dominick + Jeff Yaskus
See my post here in The UAISK private forum.

#178 Awesome Thanks!

#179 Somehow I got it working with the "useEyeNode = true", but the aliens just constantly shoot over my head ... but at least all the guns work for both.

#180 @ Jeff Yaskus
I responded to your comment in the in The UAISK's private forum. Please take all further technical discussion there; thank you.
