AISkill

[fideco]

Hi all
in config.ccp there is a section related to AISkill:
aimingAccuracy[] = {0, 0, 1, 1};
aimingShake[] = {0, 0, 1, 1};
aimingSpeed[] = {0, 0.5, 1, 1};
endurance[] = {0, 0, 1, 1};
spotDistance[] = {0, 0.2, 1, 0.4};
spotTime[] = {0, 0, 1, 0.7};
courage[] = {0, 0, 1, 1};
reloadSpeed[] = {0, 0, 1, 1};
commanding[] = {0, 0, 1, 1};
general[] = {0, 0, 1, 1};
I would like to lower "spotdistance" value for opfor Forces, but in array there are four items (0,0.2,1,0.4)
Does anybody know the meaning of each item?
Cheers

Sorry I can't help you with the meaning of the values in the config.cpp just wanted to mention that there is the new setSkill array (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setSkill_array) commmand as well.

I tried it briefly but without success so far...anyone else used the setSkill array successfully?

Might it not be related to the difficulty levels? IMO the values should be different depending on what difficulty you're playing on, maybe that's why they're in an array.

Actually, MCPXXL have done some inital hard work on testing and porting the latest Group Link II script to ArmA!

I received a version of him yesterday and I hope to take a closer look at it over the Christmas weekend (no promises) and see whats can be optimized. Can't say when it will be available yet but someday...

However, since the stock ArmA AI is much improved maybe using GL II will make things to hard in missions!? Time will tell, but at least it will be available later for thoose who are interested...

Note: Without MCPXXL's inital work it wouldn't happend this fast (or ever) so credits should be directed to him in first place  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

can please someone confirms, that setSkill does not currently work? Thx.

Maybe i am wrong, but i think it is a possible bug...
I don't see any difference between
two Units in front of me with different settings in their init field like these:
1) unitname setskill ["SpotDistance",0.1]
2) unitname setskill ["SpotDistance", 1]
Their reaction seem to be exactly the same
Moreover it is really annoyning to be spotted by AI Units in the deep of the night as by day

Was the same for me when testing the "aimingAccuracy" and "aimingShake" i.e. I couldn't notice any difference on AI between high and low values (0.01 - 1).

So either we are doing something wrong or the new "setSkill array" command is defunct in current version.

If anyone knows how to get it to work or can confirm it's indeed broken it would be great to hear about it...

Hi KeyCat
if confirmed, without a doubt this is one of the major flaws of AI behaviour...

I hope it will be fixed.
There is already a statement (AI related) by Placebo here

Anyone figured out how to get "setSkill array" to work or can confirm it's broken in current version (1.02)?
