So in my map I have AI that spawn on the other side of the map. I want most of them (not all of them) to come over to my side or in the middle map or something and fight rather than all of them just staying in their spawn area and shooting across the map.

I'm thinking of using the commands:

(ai_magically_see_player) but I don't want all of them to only attack the player.

(ai_playfight) what does this do?

(ai_migrate_encounter) the encounter they migrate to would be my ai buddies.

hmm i think i fixed it now, i just made fewer firing positions and put fewer at the spawn area.

You can also use the (ai_magically_see_encounter "FIRST AI ENCOUNTER" "SECOND AI ENCOUNTER") command to make the AI magically see both the player and the enemy AI encounter.

So if my covenant encounter is called wave1
and my spartan buddies encounter is called spartans
then:
(ai_magically_see_encounter wave1 spartans)

would be the command to make wave1 do stuff and move.

It would make them attempt to engage the spartan encounter. If their desired combat range is short range, then yes, they will move to engage.

I also found that there is a "weight" option in the move position in sapien. if I were to set that to a high number then would that make ai prefer that move position more?

Or use (ai_try_to_fight encounter1 encounter2)
They will see if they can attack the other encounter.

P.S. (ai_playfight) mean that 2 encounters shot each other etc. But do no damage. Good for cutscenes.

Don't use move positions in conjunction with firing positions. The AI will abandon move positions in lieu of firing positions.

AI_try_to_fight sets a preference; it does not force the AI to fight another encounter. Rather, it causes the AI to prefer to target the enemy encounter over the player or other targets.
