Range of Bots

I think they can only shoot if their sight aim reaches you. Is there some sort of setting I can change so that they can shoot even if you're passed their sight aim? That's how I kill everything. By bots I mean computer controlled bodies.

You can increase their range by changing the resolution to something higher, or making the aimdistance higher in the actor's ini. You can also do it in the activities.ini, just ad aimdistance = 100 (or so) under the actor in the dropship's loadout.

Yes Resolution has no effect on AI, only the player. I forget if you can change the AimDistance ingame through Lua, if you can that would be an easier solution.

An example from the Kloveska faction: AddAttackerSpawn = ACDropShip CopyOf = KMF Drop Pod AddInventory = AHuman CopyOf = KMF Spec Ops AimDistance = 100 The spawned actor can see further, but it doesnt change the actor's ini.

I had not thought of this, but dang, if it's that easy... Darn, my script's no good. Code: function update(self) if self.updatetimer:IsPastSimMS(5000) then self.updatetimer:Reset(); for actor in MovableMan.Actors do local controller = actor:GetController(); if not controller:IsPlayerControlled(-1) then actor.AimDistance = 2000; end end end end What obvious thing did I miss? It simply fails to load. Attached to a brain, and the timer is started correctly.

Not a huge upgrade as the AI is still godly stupid, but it might help a bit.
