OH GOD I JUST GOT AN IDEA

Put it on a crabs body!

Hmm, would that be possible without it destroying itself?

No. It leaks Pure 100% zalo awesomeness!

So does it shoot you when you shoot at it, or does it shoot everything?
Downloading anyway.

Which happens to be deadly to all things n00b!

I like how it fires a laser particle for each particle that hits it. I was using a rather particle heavy sniper rifle when shooting at it and was quite shocked to see a laggy attack response that severed the MARS I was using into two pieces.

Darnet, this was what i had attemted in as a brain my plasma mod

Nothing like using the stupidity of the AI against it.

I don't think there will EVER be good enough AI to where it thinks "hey, maybe I SHOULDN'T shoot this enemy unit." Makes it feel a bit exploitative.

Lafe, I edited it out for you, but please don't quote images. There's usually no need to quote the OP, either.

Maybe a sort of adaptive AI could learn that "Huh, all the guys
before me who shot this thing died. Maybe I shouldn't shoot it..."

That would mean some sort of cowardice/threat evaulation system.

Don't think that meat puppets are smart enough to figure out how dangerous a thing is.

zalo, is that going to be another one of your Lua challenges?

Once the AI gets better, this can be used to build walls.

Not possible unless data gives more controll over AI system(at least give a system to disable AI shooting).

I know a lot of AI in squad-based games have specific modes of attack/defense, like, "Fire on all enemy units", "Fire on all enemy infantry", "Fire only when fired upon", "Don't fire even when fired upon", etc. CC's potential AI level is kind of limited, though, Lua and all I guess you could code out specific actions taken by the AI in response to specific situations, but you probably couldn't code an adaptive AI.

That sounds like a challenge...

...for someone else.
