Would it be possible to turn this into a zeus module?

Is it possible to switch on and off at will via Zeus? or re-enable AI pathing

Works fantastic in the regular editor.

Hello, on our ZEUS server these scripts are disabled so how can I run it in the format written to init?
Swiftcore  [author] 7 Mar @ 5:47pm 
@oksman the code is run from the VR entity's init field in the editor, if you copy that you should be able to modify it to work with whatever context you're using it in.

Is there no way to run this code? I have a framework and we don't use editor spawned units, so can this be applied with code?
@Jerry_Lee I believe you might be thinking of the Garrison or Guard waypoint options for squads.

Fantastic comp!
Itd be awesome if you could place these in areas then have the ai walk into them,almost like a turret or like soldier fsm how they have the fighting position module...that never seems to work

it would be nice if you could cancel the script with a trigger to allow the ai to flee their positions

@Swiftcore maybe check if artillery is firing/landing within a certain radius and have them setunitpos middle

Does this work with singleplayer campaigns/scenarios?

Any chance for other vanilla AI enhancement compositions? (e.g. having AI target helicopters with AT launchers)
Swiftcore  [author] 11 Dec, 2024 @ 6:50pm 
AI currently only duck when suppressed by autocannons and small arms, or when damaged. I would like to implement artillery suppression at some point but it seems difficult to implement.
Mamuel 11 Dec, 2024 @ 10:20am 
When the AI is being bombarded with artillery, do they duck behind cover like in the video? or is it only with light weapons?

Is there a command to run this in code? (I have scripts to spawn enemies) I've done a script like this as well that I run with LAMBS. Mine doesn't have conflicts as LAMBS on static units aren't really.. active except for suppression of targets. So I would say LAMBS and VCOM is compatible, these are for statics only after all.

@jaeger @ultomat this script is primarily intended for use in the zeus interface and in 3den editor. For larger procedurally generated dynamic scenarios you're probably better off using an AI mod like LAMBS or VCOM.
Swiftcore  [author] 8 Dec, 2024 @ 12:12pm 
@MichaelBruce This script is mostly intended for when a mission maker has a specific position they want AI to occupy (such as a trenchline) and they want the AI to stay in place. The main reason it exists is the vanilla AI's suppression and cover behavior doesn't function correctly with AI pathing disabled. If you're using LAMBS or VCOM and want all your squads to look for their own cover and garrison buildings autonomously this script is probably redundant for your needs.
Swiftcore  [author] 8 Dec, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
@Viper Haven't tested my script with VCOM or LAMBS, I suspect it might cause conflicts but you're free to do your own testing.

Whackamole!
Viper1Zero 8 Dec, 2024 @ 8:16am 
This sounds incredible!

To your knowledge, are there any conflicts with other AI enhancing mods like LAMBS/VCOM AI?
adham Morsy 8 Dec, 2024 @ 6:54am 
I have LAMBs mods... so is there any conflict between them or it will work?
MichaelBruce83 8 Dec, 2024 @ 6:21am 
Just to be clear, im not here to hate on your mod at all. In fact, this is a great idea. I love any mods that help with ai realism. With that said, Lambs danger and Lambs suppression do this already. My squads will actually take cover and if need be go into a building and hide completely. What would you say is the main difference here?
Jaeger 8 Dec, 2024 @ 6:19am 
This mod is awesome much needed can you make it work without having to use Zeus that would be great
Beast mode (Nubbelock holmes) 7 Dec, 2024 @ 6:12pm 
Any way you could get it to work autonomously, without having to use Zeus? In a mission that spawns a lot of AI and handles them for example.

Other AI mods tend not to make AI take cover at all, this would be a prime addition.

EXCELLENT, it still needs a bit more reaction speed.
And, it would be better if the realism was increased, such as group movement, retreat, etc.
