Hello all, i have a frustrating problem with the AI in quickbattle.

I am attempting to modify the fedattack.py Compound ai file by adding a conditional to the main priority web that does a "exists?" on if a "nebula" object exists. Attached to this conditional i have a "gotoside" plainAI. The plainAI uses "nebula" as the object and the vside is "App.TGPoint3_GetModelRight()". Obviously i put the object for the conditional and the "gotoside" as being "nebula" because i want all the vessels that call the fedattack AI to go to the side of the nebula in quickbattle. However, when i save this updated fedattack AI and start up quickbattle, what ends up happening is two things.

Firstly, it does not crash, so i guess that is a good thing. However, the ai the calls the fedattack AI do absolutly nothing. They just sit there letting enemies who use another AI string rip them apart.

Secondly, every time this happens, at the start of the quickbattle the view does not switch automatically from bridge perspective to 3rd person perspective behind the ship. That is to say, whenever it is going to bug out and have the AI do nothing, my view remains in the bridge for some odd reason..

If anyone knows how i can fix this so that my AI actually works, i would be extremely grateful. Thanks =/.

Anything in the console?

Crashing only happens when you are doing something very advanced (would crash Python) or doing things with nifs.

I believe I was trying to help.

But, we still don't have telepathic abilities.

Anyway, the reason why the view didn't change, is because a script error _has_ happend.

A console report will help to find out what the error is.


If BC freezes, try alt tabbing and see if you cand find the BC icon, it will be a console, copy the contents and post it here.
