What causes and what eliminates what I call "AI Doppelgangers" from appearing on client PCs when joining an multiplayer game that has AI included. I thought that it might be caused by maps with multiple BSPs, but after eliminating a second BSP structure in Guerilla, it still occurs. The AIs will attack these "duplicate actors" as if they are enemy, but they don't die...and are like statues.

AI doesn't sync. There is no explanation, there is just that fact. Get over it.

I totally realize that they won't sync, but some AI maps do not appear to have the duplicates, but some will. They are doubles for each actor which cause the active ones to stop and attack them as if they are enemy.

AI are a mastery in halo ce but its a 25% against 75% that you'll be lucky enough to see an AI that your friend is seeing

Wait, so is this what you are saying:

On client PCs, there are clones of AI actors, and they seem to be killing each other?

Again. The reason for these is because AI doesn't sync. Because the fact that AI netcode isn't "shipped" over with the other pieces of data sent (vehicles, etc.), wierd things start to happen. And one of them is what you're seeing.

how about some one take the time to make a script to force the PC to send the ai code across the net code in Halo CE

Because yeah, it's really simple and only takes 10 minutes.

You totally can do it with a script.

What is the script Gamma?

Its actually uploaded somewhere on Halomaps. I cant remember where, though. Search for it.

E: I found it:

 netcode_correct (objects_AI (encounter/squad bipedname) ->) 

encounter is the encouter.
squad is the squad.
bipedname is the name of the biped.

This will sync each individual actor?

do we include the netgame correct thing before the parenthesis?

yes and yes

Oh...my...god.... I just fell out of my chair laughing so hard.

Yeah, I was having a hard time typing serious. It was just too good a chance.

we(s)ll, y(a)ou se(r)e, i(c)t i(a)s t(s)his thin(m)g called- oh wai

How people find this stuff is funny... Also, I was being sarcastic.

who was that directed towards?

Are you in this group?

I meant the part where it looked (i would say sounded, but-) like you were arrogantly proclaiming to some ignorant being that you were being sarcastic.

Seriously, this was just TOO rare and good of a moment to not take advantage of.

Oh the script is wrong too. It's actually:

net_spacket( (unit (list_get (ai_actors) #ENCOUNTER) ), PTYPE_OBJ)

Just replace the ENCOUNTER part with the encounter name and it werks.

אTCEMא EaGLe 21 *NxR*: Does it work
Masterz1337: yes
אTCEMא EaGLe 21 *NxR*: Sweet

EDIT: It works for device machines too:


People, how stupid can you be, honestly

net_spacket( unit  (list_get (objects) #DEV.MACHINE, PTYPE_OBJ,TRUE)

I love Halo's scripting.

lol, 'net_spacket'

EDIT: Sorry Dennis. Wrong button. Delete.

Looked like? That was my intention.

but who?

Masterz lied to you.

Again, if you can't detect the sarcasm in these posts, please, please, go away.
Hai Masterz. :D

ah.

Hey, your script actually works...unfortunately the AI just just crap themselves all in sync.

what? they crapped themselves (i wouldnt like to see them do that)

Yeah, this is what it says in the HS Bible:

net_spacket (UNIT, packet type, willcrap): Sends a packet over teh webz. UNIT is the thing to send, can be AI, or a device. Packet type is usually PTYPE_OBJ, and the last part has to be TRUE.

Oh snapz, a Grunt just shat a brix. So did that Elite over there....

why wouldn't it?

must be crap its syncing!

I lol'd
