Any mods that will make AI not to shoot at wall ?

[GamerDreams2019ns]

I find that the AI design is not that good. Example if my units are behind a tall wall or a hill, those enemy AI will try to shoot at my units but not knowing there is a wall blocking it's shots.

Enemy AI will just stop there and keep on shooting !

Any mods that will make AI move closer to my units to shoot or move while shooting ??

Thanks

No.

The AI does not know that a unit is hitting a wall or terrain instead of the enemy.
There is no c-command or script in LUA to detect this.

I tried to compare the damageoutput with the healtdrain of the enemy but this is awesome slow and does not work in all cases (multiple units).
So this is one of the gaps the AI will have forever ^^

hmmm...too bad.

Now I understand why most of the maps do NOT have wall or hill. Mostly are open area.

How about making a mod that will make AI always on the move - even it is shooting. So this will not make the AI stay at one spot shooting at the wall.

Will this work ?

This has nothing to do with AI. Just lazy mappers
In fact there are only 2-3 guys who cares about the AI while making maps.
(i mean making terrain for AI, there are more mappers who add waypoints etc.)

First you move the platoon with the command "UNIT:MoveToLocation(Position)"
If you reach the target you attack with the command "UNIT:AttackTarget(ENEMYUNIT)"

After that the c-engine is controlling the unit and we can do almost nothig from LUA side here.

I know the problem and if i find a solution i will add this to my AI. I promise
But as i said, if you have many (800) waypoints, then this will happen not often.

I don't think that anyone will make a mod for this.
You need to hook into every AI attack function for GPG, Sorian and all other AIs to make this work.

You need to patch these (34) functions:
