What is the Difference in AIClient & AIPlayer class

Hi,
What is the difference in AIClient & AiPlayer classes. Code wise most of the stuff looks similar. Major difference is the parent classes. Which class should I use if I want to create AIPlayers. I haven't seen any reference to AIClient class in any of the demos. Please help me with this.

I believe that AIClient is old depreciated code. AIPlayer is a rewrite and should be used.

I have to put around 100 ai Vehicles. But when I put more than 20 vehicles. The vehicles start jerking. Any solution to this problem. The ai vehicles inherit from wheeledvehicle class but use AI player class code.

The problem you are experiencing with the 100 vehicles is most likely due to the networking load. AIPlayer is allegedly quite network intensive. I would recommend having a look at the RTS kit. I believe there is a more lightweight solution used for the units in that kit.

You simply exceed your network bandwidth it sounds like! :-) Check this resource here.

Btw: For a different question, you should open a new thread.
