OK, maybe throne of Bhaal will fix the dragon AI, but I have taken the liberty of doing a bit of fixing myself This was brought on by a discussion on here when someone was complaining about how stupid the dragons are and I told them to stop complaining and do something about it (sorry) . U can now download improved AI scripts for some dragons at my site: http://lhanzo.tripod.com . Here is what is in the instructions:
/* AI script extensions for Red, Black and Shadow Dragons by Vaskez */ - Improvements: Dragons will now attack immediately if anyone sets a trap or attempts to set a trap in their view. You can still set traps in the area the dragon is in, as long as it can't see you. Dragons will now attack immediately if ANY spell is cast on them, not just offensive spells. Dragons will heal themselves if they cannot see anyone and are down to 50% HP as opposed to 50HP as before. This means that it is now very difficult to kill them using the "fire wand of cloudkill about 10 times from outside the dragon's view" tactic. I have tried this with 10 clouds of gas and the dragon survived. Of course using more than 10 cloudkills might still do the trick, but I didn't see any point of allowing the dragon to heal himself more often. I was going to make the dragon come and find you if you use the wand of cloudkill on him, but unfortunately, the scripting commands do not seem to work if he cannot see you, therefore nothing happens. If I can find a way around this, I will update the scripts. Any more ideas on how the AI could be improved would be appreciated. Thanks for listening, Vaskez |

No problem mate. I hope the import and everything works. I have had problems with faulty IAPs before. Just email me: blast_on_sight@yahoo.com if anything is wrong.

Would it be possible to have dragons cast "zone of sweet air" or whatever that spell is if they take damage, but see no enemies?

It worked like a charm, at least now you can't almost obliterate the dragon before it sees you !

To edit scripts u can use any text editor and compile them using the compiler that comes with the game. Using teambg scriptor to quicken the process. [This message has been edited by Vaskez (edited 05-16-2001).] |
