Difference in AI behavior in SP vs MP

[Itzo]

Hi,

 

Could someone maybe explain why the AI behaves very different in 1.5 SP vs 1.5 MP?

Attached is the mission I'm trying to fix.

 

Mission explained:

Unlimited training, every trigger zone will trigger a group of enemy fighters (MiST random spawn) IF all enemies are dead within the conflict zone.

I wrote a kill script for the enemy groups as they apparently must have been alive for MiST to actually spawn them.

There is also some random air traffic in the area.

 

The problem:

In SP the AI will attack me as soon as they spawn, just as I wanted it.

Launched as MP server, they neither attack nor defend themselves (barely)..

 

I have tried to make them more aggressive by removing the CAP task and replacing it with my own set of options, as seen in the .miz.

solved I think...

 

It seems like in MP you have to give the AI tasks after spawn, using lua. Now they are killing me just fine :) Just need to figure out all task options used in the tables.

 

I.e.

mist.respawnInZone('rBanditGrp1', 'rSpawnZone1', true)

local con = Group.getByName('rBanditGrp1'):getController()

con:setOption(0, 0)

Vaguely remember reading that any units created within the mist system can't use flags, zones, or ai commands from the normal units placed in the mission editor itself.

 

However I may be incorrect on some or all of those points, as I am no expert with the mist stuff.
