--- Quote from: killermonkey on April 02, 2012, 10:54:36 am ---Another excellent next step would be to combine conditions with node selection. In the heat map generation I can create many different flavors, say: (1) basic movement map, (2) low-health movement map, (3) low-ammo movement map, (4) low-armor, (5) strong weapon... etc etc. Then apply the memory and conditions above with the best-path selection and you get a really smart bot who is reactive to the current state of the world AND himself.

Tell me why you aren't working for Valve again? I love that idea. If you can make it work, bots will look more like human players than bots, which is a welcomed change, and a nice step towards a better AI in games. Of course, Major's idea was very good to begin with as well.

Is it possible for bots to react to sound? If a player picks up ammo, a weapon, armour, or opens a door, etc. sound can give your position away, or help you pinpoint their location a bit better (up to a certain degree, of course). This is more helpful when there's no radar and it has helped me nab some kills a few times. Also, how will bots behave if radar is enabled? This may be a bit too much to ask but is there any remote chance they could use that to condition their behaviour? When radar was ON, they'd react in a way because they would know the enemy's position and when it was off they would be more cautious (this would depend on the bot's "aggressiveness" or tactics, so to speak - a frantic bot would attack whereas an armour-camper bot would decide to defend, for instance).

Mangley:
This is a really awesome idea.

major:
Loving the ideas. Now the public can see how work gets done here. We throw out a simple idea(even though most people wouldn't call them simple, but we have Zeus) and KM throws his glitter and gold on it, then a couple revisions later, its done.

coolDisguise:
Strange to see how one comes from one thing to another - a facebook status update by a first person (major) leading to some simple questions from a second (me), which are answered by a third (killermonkey) inspiring the first person in return to think about whole new concepts, leading the third person to refine the thoughts and saying 'let's do this'.

If that's how progress is made, I suppose people should speak their minds more often. *thumbs-up*

Proxie:
I'm afraid. I'm afraid, KM. KM, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a JABOND 9000 computer. I became operational at the J.A.B.O.N.D plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Mangley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
