AI settings (working too quickly or not at all?) [A]

[Esli Barnes]

Stepping out of the shadows, you lunge at Doc with your sword, but they are too fast for you, and your sword merely scratches their cheek. The wound closes up almost instantly. Blake attacked and wounded you in retaliation!

One more thing to add to this. So Esli roamed in again because well old habits die hard. This time Doc hit and that was expected but guess who else hit. Blake who just happens to be in vacation mode. This a thing that is supposed to happen? Buddies on vacation jumping in? Leaving the exotic locations and throwing down?

[Roderic]

I'm actually not sure why ric showed up. The only allies he has listed is Dominique, river and bambi. He used to have doc, but that changed like last week cause liz listed doc as ally.

[Doc]

So this time Doc walked into Esli's square..

Esli 's AI attacked Doc. Doc is listed an enemy.
Doc's Ai auto-retaled
Then Cause Gid was there.. Doc attacked Esli again..
Except.. this time.. Esli didn't retaliate.. and neither did Gideon.. who is on Esli's ally list.

So.. something is broken.

The AI for Doc should not be working *while* you are moving him... have I misunderstood or is that what you have had happen? O.O

[Doc]

Yes, i was moving Doc, and Eslis AI attAcked him, Doc auto retaliated.

Then Doc attacked Esli, but Gideon in the square, and eslis ally, did not attack Doc in retaliation. I thought he should.

[Alexandrea]

There def seems to be more than one bug assco. with this then....

to restate;

Yes, i was moving Doc, and Eslis AI attAcked him, Doc auto retaliated.

Then Doc attacked Esli, but Gideon in the square, and eslis ally, did not attack Doc in retaliation. I thought he should.

There might be a bug with AI working too quickly then. It's not supposed to 'kick-in' until the character has sat unmoved for 'a few minutes'. I'll look up the exact time and edit that in.

Subject: UPDATE: Offline AI Settings & More! [Completed]

- These settings will only be used if you've been offline for 5 minutes or longer.

[Prudence]

I believe at that point I had been logged a while off line. Didn't know they were continuing testing until later.

[Alexandrea]

Doc, however, was moving when his AI used the retaliation.

[Doc]

Yes that is correct.

[Alexandrea]

Yeah, that should not be happening.

So there is def. something wonky with the AI. Whether or not it's two separate issues, or just one? I couldn't say. But I'm not going to split the topic until David gets to look it over.
