Title: A.I. Why won't you link your primaries? [Solved]
Post by: Spoon on July 08, 2011, 05:04:28 pm

So maybe somebody can enlighten me on this, I simply just cant seem to convince the a.i. to be link its primary weapons all of the time. As far as I can tell $AI Always Links Energy Weapons: simply does nothing. I've set it to 100, 90, 10, 5, 0. Nothing. The A.i. always picks the third bank (with smart weapon selection on, with smart selection off, it just picks the first one).
$AI Maybe Links Energy Weapons: also doesn't seem to do a lot.

Edit: And this is with
$fix linked primary weapon decision bug:  YES
$allow primaries link delay:    NO
in the ai_profile.tbl set

Yup, still super sour about this.

A.I. is consistently only using a single bank against enemy fighters, they only link when attacking capital ships.

This topic was rightfully bumped.  Anyone willing to take up on this?

Im willing to look into this more closely together with you just because wod is awesome and you seemed so pissed off in irc i tried to go over the function with you but i think we need to get deeper into this with custom debug builds maybe you can find me in irc in about 12 to 14 hours from now and well get to the bottom of this

Valathil: King among men

Turns out the wiki derped and herped hard. The flag is suppose to be $allow primary link delay:
The wiki had it listed as $allow primaries link delay:

Again, many thanks to Valathil for figuring this out.
