[solved] Artificial Inteligence more [avoid] tags

[ZombieKnight]

Hi,
How to make AI units avoid some terrains, while some of them (units with micro_ai goto) could still get on those terrains?

Code: Select all

[micro_ai]
            side=7
            ai_type=goto
            action=add
            ignore_enemy_at_goal=yes
            ca_score=300000
            [filter]
                find_in=side_7_retreat_micro_ai
            [/filter]
            [filter_location]
                x,y=36,7
                radius=2
            [/filter_location]
        [/micro_ai]

Thats my micro_ai, and since [avoid] seems much stronger...
...
This breaks my micro_ai:

Code: Select all

[modify_ai]#BREAKS retreat micro_ai
            side=7
            action=add
            path=aspect[avoid].facet[]
            [facet]
                [value]
                    terrain=U*^*,Cud*^*
                [/value]
            [/facet]
        [/modify_ai]

How to modify [avoid] so it's terrains are only much less preferable, but when theres no non-avoided tiles in range units could move there?
or
How to achieve similar thing without [avoid] tag?

If you want units to avoid certain terrains only when they're not using the Goto MicroAI, that's easy. Set up the avoid tag for the avoided terrains like normal. Then add an empty avoid tag in the Goto Micro AI definition. For MicroAIs that support it, an avoid tag inside their definition overrides the default avoid tag for the side, and an empty avoid tag means to avoid nothing.

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure how to make units step on specific terrains only when there is no other option.

Great! I had no idea that I can do that.
Should I put [avoid] tag right inside [micro_ai] tag?

Jup I've found it even in documentation.
Has to be: actually

Code: Select all

[avoid]
     [not]
     [/not]
[/avoid]

Thanks for quick and simple answer!!! ^^

Yeah, you're right, you need the empty not tag as well.
