AI and Lack of Vision

Just a quick question I didn't notice info for in the wiki. I was wondering, does anyone happen to know how the AI would react to its own vision being turned off? Does it ignore that? etc.



None.

All I can say is test it.



None.

If you go up near it it will follow you (if you're it's enemy) but it won't attack unless you attack it (giving it 'vision', like how it reveals a siege tank that hurts you from far off)



None.

Thanks for the input. I really have no reason to use it... it just came to me. So now I wonder if they can run melee AI well without vision, for instance. If not, you could perhaps have a separate player with map revealers and shared vision so that it'd only build in or attack at certain places.

If it's true they don't attack at all unless you attack them, then it might be an interesting way to make an allied comp that would more readily attack you if you hurt it, and yet would also fight another player if they shot it (ie., one with vision to see the blind comp). So basically you might be able to lure some comps in to fight alongside you. Of course, you should be allied to your "ally" comp.

TheHappy115 -- Yea, thats the issue. Thanks. It would also explain why my deleted map couldn't get updated. Updated version reduced collision on units (only thing added) since was dodging game (players collide with each other)

Ultraviolet -- If so, I'd just focus on getting them on scmscx.com and then you can link to that in the showcase thread for your maps

Ultraviolet -- I can't upload my EUD maps, I think the DLDB has some issue with handling them. Are you trying to upload EUD maps?

TheHappy115 -- Its been awhile but ever since I requested one of the Maps I posted to be deleted since I couldn't delete it myself (or update it), I haven't been able to upload any more maps. Any reason for that?
