It is a real problem in the game and should be addressed

Data doesn't read the forum, so talking about it here has little to no effect upon development. I suggest you email him with your suggestion and hopefully he will take it up with you.
Afaik this is his address, as it is listed on the website.
contact@datarealms.com


I am not going to email Data because his ass should be looking at the forums religiously, what fellow makes a game and does not give a crap what people have to say? you should all be flaming his butt with emails saying how unsatisfied you are for publishing a game that is half built, making you pay for it and ' making like a shepherd and getting the flock out of here'

Data fix this small problem and make a lot of people happy DAMIT!

and for you people that flame me.... play the game again and just agree with us.

Just stop being a whiny ♥♥♥♥ and go play a different game.
Data has enough to do with having fun and making CC.

So lemme get this straight. You are:
1. Not going to email Data because he should read the forums
2. Chastising people for not emailing him telling him to read the forum
3. Expressing an opinion about the AI
4. Asserting that you are right about it and that everyone should agree if they have ever played Cortex
Saying that:
5. Cortex is finished
6. Data forced you to buy it

Did I miss anything?

Points one and two cancel each other out. Stop being a hypocrite.
Three is a non-issue because it is a known problem, four is a non-argument.
Five and six are just stupid.

Now if you'd like to return to "I have a problem with the current AI but I have been told that Data is working on it, so I'll be satisfied and wait for a few more months before I start bitching again" please say so and stop getting all high on yourself.
Good day sir!

Lua is a big feature, you may not know how to use it, but other people do. There are plenty of mods that use Lua to achieve epic-ness, and you should try them out.

There haven't been many updates because the next update will be a really big update, instead of the small little ones we've had, new campaign missions, a whole 'metagame' aspect, control over AI, and fixed Lua. Possibly even better AI to begin with.


You may have bought the game before the AI ducked, but you did buy it knowing that the whole thing is a work in progress, and that the game may not be finished in a timely manner, or even at all.

You bought the game, you decided it was worth the money, even knowing the circumstances.



PS: your avatar hurts me inside. :(

You can attach a simple script to actors to prevent them from walking and crouching while on sentry, like below.

Code:
function Update(self)

   if self:IsPlayerControlled() == false and self.AIMode == Actor.AIMODE_SENTRY then
   self:GetController():SetState(Controller.BODY_CROUCH,false);
   self:GetController():SetState(Controller.MOVE_RIGHT,false);
   self:GetController():SetState(Controller.MOVE_LEFT,false);
   end

end

end


There we go, a simple solution.

is there a way to do it globally for all units?

No. You have to manually apply it to all.

Well, you could have it attached to a brain and have it automatically apply the script to every actor on-scene, but that would be somewhat laggy.

Find it in "Bunker Systems" (it's called "AI Enhancement") and place it.

It can do many, many things that normal coding can not.
