Enemy AI

[WildRikku]

Problems:

• weapon selection
• positioning
• targeting enemies (selection and targeting)
• retreat
• not damaging your own team

Positioning:

• define some areas in the map and try to reach one of them, then check which enemies can be reached from there
• decide which area to reach by distance (to be able to reach it within the time limit)

Stages:
1.

• start with targeting weapons (bazooka, grenade, minigun)
• ignore obstacles first (dumb but easier and can be improved later) - problem: might hit own team
• no movement
• pick closest enemy that is not close to one of our team members

• find and respect obstacles

• use dynamite with movement
• target enemies and drop dynamite from the air

• use all weapons with movement
• problem: complex decision making - movement first or weapon selection first?

• pick targets for reason (for example: by distance)

Notes

• chose airstrike when other options are bad
• sometimes chose airstrike randomly
• do not chose airstrike when your team mates are close together (risk of killing entire team)
