Scenario massive delays

[tribes55]

Hello,

I was experimenting with [ai] to try and create a more artificial flow to one of my scenarios. I tried two different modifiers to achieve this:

Code: Select all

[ai]
		[goal]
			name=target_location
			[criteria] #NOTE: this is a SLF, because we're targeting a location
				side=2
			[/criteria]
			value=5
		[/goal]

		[avoid]
			[filter]
				x,y=24,30
			[/filter]
			radius=9
		[/avoid]
	[/ai]

However, after I did, the AI turn MUCH longer to finish their turns and move their units. After each movement from a unit, there was a freeze. Did I implement it incorrectly? These aren't contradicting-- side 2 is not within those coordinates.

A SLF doesn't have "side" as a key. That's getting ignored, so it's targeting every location on the map. Did you mean owner_side? ([avoid] keeps the AI from stopping on those locations, but they are probably still be targeted as well.)

Ah, I see. I meant for them to want to ignore a side's players. If not this, how would I make the AI want to prioritize engaging one side before another?

Oh, of course. The SLF has a [filter] tag, which is a standard unit filter.

Rather than using a [filter] I think it would be more effective to change the target_location to target_unit.
