SetViewDistance for AI

[wi77ard]

Is there anyway to set the distance that AI can see ?

If so plz plz let me know


Thanx

[Pandoz]

do u want this so that they engage at a further distance? if so i think the only way to do this is to edit the lines of the config to make the aiviewdistance and shootingdistance/detection longer...but i could be wrong on what u want

[wi77ard]

I want to be able to restrict the distance that AI can see.

for example a soldier who was wounded that cant see as far as normal.

hope this makes more sense

hmm well u would definetly have to make a script...hmm well not definetly but im not a fan of triggers with complex stuff or long codes in them...something to the affect of ?(damage>.2):goto "loop1" and then in loop1 have like set whoevers view distance to ur number u want

[wi77ard]

Do you mean somethimg like this:


#loop
? (unitbob damage >.2):goto "damage"
? (unitbob damage <.2):goto "loop"
#damage
unitbob AIsetViewDsitance 1000
goto "loop"

with the AI unit being called unitbob

its impossible, there is no command to change the distance the AI can see

Yep, this is a fact.  I saw this information on the official forums:

Yes, if you change viewdistance if affects AI (both friendly and enemy) as well, including tank IR scanner (and even including airplane/chopper radar).

So... If you change the viewdistance, it will change it for everything in the game..  AI, player, vehicle, plane... You name it!  (it sucks)

P.S>   BTW, what does this have to do with advanced scripting?
