nijis Posted February 10, 2001 Share Posted February 10, 2001 An amusing little AI effect, that may or may not have come up before. A platoon of Germans, entrenched in a patch of woods, is under fire from infantry to their front and from tanks to their flank. A squad bolts from its foxhole and runs about 20 meters for cover to the rear edge of the woods, where it starts coming under fire from the tanks. It decides it doesn't much like that, and bolts back to its foxhole, but on arrival is shot at by the infantry, and heads back to the edge of the woods, and so on, and so on. On its second or third round trip it's joined by a second squad, and back and forth they go. ------------------ "I can't listen to music too often...

Olle Petersson Posted February 12, 2001 Share Posted February 12, 2001 A similar situation is going on in a PBEM game I'm in right now. My opponent has a PIAT team that is under fire from one of my MGs since a couple of turns. It takes cover in a patch of scattered trees, takes incoming and runs to a nearby patch of scattered trees, takes another burst and runs back, ... repead ad nauseam. (Although this isn't constructive for any of us, I don't mind cause there are no other targets in sight.)
