Advanced AI Conditions
Version 1.0d
What is this?Version 1.0d
This script allows the developper to exert better control on how the AI handles the enemies' action patterns.
Script configuration is almost entirely made via noteboxes and no RGSS3 knowledge is required to use it.
Features and Instructions
- TGR settings
TGR determine the frequency a target will be chosen during random targeting rolls. The configuration module below allows you to set how damage and healing affects TGR to make a character more threatening to the eyes of the AI.
- Skill settings
Every skill can be given default AI *targeting* conditions all enemies will use. To do it, you have to create an "AI block" in the skill's notebox.
Notetags explanation:
Code:
<ai_conditions>
Explanation: You always start the block with this one.
target_hpgt: n
Explanation: The target HP must be greater or equal to n%.
target_hplt: n
Explanation: The target HP must be lesser or equal to n%.
target_states: n, n...
Explanation: The target must have the specified states already inflicted.
target_states_not: n, n...
Explanation: The target must NOT have the specified states already inflicted.
only_if_target
Explanation: If no suitable target is found, the skill won't be used AT ALL.
</ai_conditions>
Explanation: You always end the block with this one.PART 2: ENEMY AI CONFIGURATION
On top on a default AI, you can setup individual AI conditions for every different enemy. In case of conflict with the default targeting AI, these settings will take precedence.
All these settings make use of the enemy's notebox.
NOTE: the term "action index" refers to the order of the action pattern you enter for enemies in the database. For instance, if your list is like this:
Attack
Fire II
Poison
Attack will be index 1, Fire II will be index 2 and Poison index 3. And so on.
Notetags explanation:
Code:
<ai_conditions: n, n...>
Explanation: One way of starting an AI block.
`n` must be an action index. If you include multiple indices (comma-separated), the conditions will apply to each one.
use_id
Explanation: Same as above, but `n` refers to skill IDs instead of action indices. `n` must be a valid skill ID.
switches: n, n...
Condition: The specified switches must be ON.
variables: x, y, x, y...
Condition: Variables `x` must be equal to the corresponding values `y`.
states: n, n...
Condition: The acting enemy must have *all* of the specified states.
hpgt: n
Condition: Acting enemy has HP greater than or equal to `n%`.
hplt: n
Condition: Acting enemy has HP less than or equal to `n%`.
mpgt: n
Condition: Acting enemy has MP greater than or equal to `n%`.
mplt: n
Condition: Acting enemy has MP less than or equal to `n%`.
party_level: n
Condition: Party level is greater than `n`.
turns_order: a+bx
Condition: Matches the turn formula as seen in the database (e.g., `a + b * x`).
target_hpgt: n
Condition: Target HP must be greater than or equal to `n%`.
target_hplt: n
Condition: Target HP must be less than or equal to `n%`.
target_states: n, n...
Condition: The target must already have the listed states.
target_states_not: n, n...
Condition: The target must *not* have the listed states.
only_if_target
Condition: If no suitable target is found, the skill will not be used at all.
</ai_conditions>
Explanation: You must end the block with this one.- Creating Turn Patterns
Turn patterns is a special AI setting which completely replace an action pattern with another one at the designated turns. During a turn pattern, the "normal" actions (the ones you entered into the database) won't be taken into consideration, ever. You need to create another block to make a Turn Pattern.
Code:
<turn_pattern: a+bx>
Used to define the turn pattern.
- `a` is the first turn when the action will occur.
- `b` is the interval between turns after the first.
skill: a, b
- `a` is the skill ID to be used.
- `b` is the rating (priority) of the skill.
</turn_pattern>
End the pattern.NOTE 2: In order to assign conditions to a skill inside a turn pattern, you have to create a new AI block with that skill's ID.
- Absolute Rating
The absolute rating is a special rating you assign to an action during databasing your enemy. An action with this rating will take absolute priority, ignoring all others (even higher ones) provided it can be used.
If you have several actions with an absolute rating, one will be chosen randomly.
