New players: The AI is dumb. Get used to it, there is no workaround. Use the Independent R2 droid in the mod zone if you want a decent grunt to use.

That is all. Now stop posting the same topic over and over.

Has anyone noticed that the dummy seems to be the cleverest AI?

Clever how?

I think it's the actor with the best walkpaths, allowing it to navigate a lot easier than the other clumsy large-footed actors.

Larger feet are actually better when well coded, due to the actor's weight being distributed along a bigger surface area.

Thank you! I was actually quite curious about this. I've been digging through the modding forums looking for AI updates, but haven't had much success. It's nice to see some helpful veterans.

People who spam topic about the AI are generally the type of people who won't think to search around first, this topic only spams up the forum more.

True, but the AI is endearing in its own way.
The tactics it enforces are only slightly less hilarious then the first time I saw Monty Python, it's a gaggle of geese with high powered weaponry and I ADORE IT.

Sadly, it seems that the autonomous combat droid is only for the B23 release, which HIB purchasers are unable to access. I'm new here though, so perhaps I am mistaken. Here's the link I found for it:

You can always try it and check if it works. If it doesn't you can wait a couple of days so that the author releases a compatible version.

I tried it out and got an error message. I'll just wait it out. The AI isn't smart, but it still works well enough to make some game modes pretty awesome.

The Independent ACD does work in b24 seemingly fine (though I think the materials changes made it even more resilient than before), it is just he mission bundled with it to demo it that does not work in b24. I just updated the activities with that module to make a b24 compatible skirmish scenario that works just fine for testing it.

The mod has a mission, either Abdul will do something or somebody else will do it for him.
