| Summary | 0001633: Player ship AI do not obey play dead orders | ||||
| Description | I have 2 wings of fighters Beta and Gamma. Both contain 4 player ships and have initial orders of play dead. At the start of the game they don't play dead. Works with regular AI ship wings. | ||||
| Additional Information | TBP 3.6.9 but I remember this same issue in the FS2 3.6.9 release candidates as well. Mission is a work in progress. Alpha is escorting a transport Beta and Gamma should just sit there until after the transport docks. | ||||

Might want to check other sexps too. I vaguely remember the same problem with ignore <target> in the 3.6.9 release candidates but have not tried it since. |
|
|
Player-use-AI was never built with multiplayer in mind. Not at all surprised it's not working. Even if you could make it work you'd then have the problem that you can't un-AI the ship again. |
|
|
Not using player use AI. I am talking about player ships that aren't being used by players. For example a 12 player mission where only 3 people start. You can't get the other 9 ships to take the play dead order so they don't just go off shooting things. |
|
|
Ah. In that case I'll take a look. |
|
|
Is this still an issue? Just tried it and it worked fine for me with my own simple mission in FS2. Alpha 2 played dead just fine.....until I killed it. At that point it started moving around again. |
|
|
Yep still exists. Attaching test mission. Every wing has play dead orders. |

Found the cause. Initial orders eventually pass through ai_process_mission_orders() which contains this section of code if ( !(Player_use_ai) && (objp->flags & OF_PLAYER_SHIP) && (current_goal->ai_mode != AI_GOAL_FORM_ON_WING) ) { return; } Problem is that the AI ships are OF_PLAYER_SHIPs and therefore they're not being given any orders. SEXPs on the other hand are evaluated on mission start not mission load and by then the AI ships which don't have a player in them are no longer flagged as player ships and thus the SEXP works for them. I've had a chat with him so I'm passing this one over to Goober now that the spade work has been done. |

|
Never mind. Figured out how to fix this one anyway. |
|
|
Just tried using this in the latest builds. Tried giving the player wings orders and also tried giving the individual ships orders and neither seems to work. The ships just start the mission with do nothing in the orders and sit there. |

And stay resolved this time! |
