He works on it when the beer lets him, the other time he mubbles about "the brain lepper colony". He really does confuse me.

Hey guys, thanks for voting.. I found two of the results quite suprising, the amount of people that need Intense Ai for a new project, and how many people don't have a clue what the WED customizable panels are.. Both results will help me on the documentation and all.. please keep voting.. Quote:
Will there be an option for an amount of thinking the bots must do?
It's all in the Personality panel that I posted a screenshot of it before.. If you only need bots that will follow a path and attack any enemy on sight, all you do is enable these two goals and set all rest Goals to 0. You can even set a value for every enabled Goal to determine how likely it is to attempt each of them. If I set a value on the Follow Path goal to 100 and to the Combat Tactic I give 20, I create a coward character who will only engage combat if it's absolutley nesseccery.. However, a Follow Path 30 and Combat Tactic 100 will create a berserk guy who will attack anyone on sight, even if he's packing a bereta and the enemy is packing a bazooka(for example..). Setting all Goals to 100(which is the default) gives balanced results between Goal selection, that I spent thousands of hours testing them here..
So by disabling Goals this way, you relief some proccessing power by prevent the bots thinking about them, if that's what you asked me for..
Honigmonster, there's one at the first page of this thread.. but it's old..

Very nice. Now who do I need to chainsaw in order to get this ready sooner? Or better yet who should I not chainsaw in order to get this ready sooner. I'm awfully board right now and some good old fashion fun would help a lot.

you can start with my professors who give me all kinds of assingments every week and keep me from releasing
Or even better, no blood mess on the carpet, you can do my assingments.. I've heard you're a teacher, eh?

@LarryLaffer,
1.)I want to know if you can give a list of the 40 possible animations for the ai system as I am starting a character for FPS games and I would like it to fit with your upcoming system.
2.)Question: If I want to add a new behavior for a bot, such as for example "stop and smell the roses" or something, thats just an example. Would it be fairly easy for me to include this functionality to the ai's existing behaviors, or is that something we would need to hire out custom coding from you? Speaking from just an average coders perspective with no real knowledge of higher math or advanced ai functions.
3.)which leads to the third question Id like to confirm, is the ai code all c-script which we can change around or is it in c++?
4.)Would it be possible for an average scripter to set up a routine for a bot, like maybe time based: 1 pm - 5pm guard perimeter, 6pm -7pm go to mess hall, 7pm-10pm go to bed?
5.) I have dinosaurs and other creatures, is this system something I can adapt to them or is it all for bot to bot type quake ai?
--Thanks a lot. Im looking forward to this code, it looks like its gonna be great!

Since you would need to create the 'Smell Roses' Goal yourself, it means that you'll need to get your hands dirty on SED a bit. Think of Intense Ai having 3 layers of programming, kinda like GameStudio has.
Beginner: Use pre-existing Goals to create complex personalities, design weapons, add paths, animations and lots more without writting a single line of code.
Intermediate: Create new Goals for your system that will fit your needs. You'll use pre-existing actions which means all the hard stuff like Pathfinding, movement, collision, etc have already be done for you. Just design and add your Goal to the current selection.
Advanced: Change the way Intense Ai works from within. Modify the pathfinding, the Goal Oriented Action Planning and every other vital system that Intense Ai uses and get the power over everything.
There will be detailed instructions in the manual for all three layers. It's not as hard as it sounds to create a new Goal. It may include scripting, but it's handled in a very orginised fashion, and with my step-by-step tutorials on making a few Goals on your own, it's going to be a peace of cake to get started on yours.

all c-script

Yes. Make a personality in WED which favours the Guard Goal, a second personality which favous the Follow Path goal, and a third which favours a customized GoToBed Goal. Then, when it's 1pm - 5pm say my.Personality=1;, when it's 6pm - 7pm change it to my.Personality=2; and when it's 7pm to 10pm again make it my.Personality=3;

After I'm finished with Intense Ai I'm going to use it myself on a personal project which is a space turn-based strategy game(much like Master of Orion 2). So you see it can have many many uses. Even with the Goals that Intense Ai comes with, your dinosaurs will be able to follow paths, chill, attack-or not..- etc. You can customize their behavior through WED to better suit a dinosaur..
Cheers,
Aris

Probably you will be able to make dinosaurs shoot you with a gun!
