Bots won't fire in Tanks.

Code: Select all

aiSettings.viewDistance 600

Well What used to happen is the bots would get in rang, Stop, and fire. I shortened the AI range and now the bots come to where they use to come to, they stop, but there not in range, so they can't fire.

There's a separate view range:

Code: Select all

weaponTemplate.create TankGun
weaponTemplate.burst 0
weaponTemplate.indirect 0
weaponTemplate.minRange 5.0
weaponTemplate.maxRange 250.0
weaponTemplate.exitVelocity 100
weaponTemplate.weaponActivate PINone
weaponTemplate.weaponFire PIFire
weaponTemplate.setStrength Infantery  4.0
weaponTemplate.setStrength LightArmour 8.0
weaponTemplate.setStrength HeavyArmour 10.0
weaponTemplate.setStrength NavalArmour 6.0
weaponTemplate.setStrength Submarine   0.0
weaponTemplate.setStrength Air         1.0

(this is an example weapon template. You will need to look for which ai templates your tank weapons are using in your particular mod)

Look at "minRange" and "maxRange".

See if lowering these numbers help or perhaps extending them might fix it (depending on your situation. If they come in weapon range but don't fire the level global AI view distance is too low perhaps? Then you would lower the weapon view distance in this case).

If you have more then one weapon on the vehicle check to make sure the setStrength values don't match on both templates. This will cause bots to idle when they encounter an enemy if they conflict.

Those are what I changed. I wanted the bots to get closer before they fired.
