Author: FlightControl

Contributions:

Dutch_Baron: Working together with James has resulted in the creation of the AI_BALANCER class. James has shared his ideas on balancing AI with air units, and together we made a first design which you can use now :-)

Global(s)

Global AI_BALANCER

Monitors and manages as many replacement AI groups as there are CLIENTS in a SET_CLIENT collection, which are not occupied by human players.

#AI_BALANCER AI_BALANCER

Monitors and manages as many replacement AI groups as there are CLIENTS in a SET_CLIENT collection, which are not occupied by human players.

In other words, use AI_BALANCER to simulate human behaviour by spawning in replacement AI in multi player missions.

The parent class Core.Fsm#FSM_SET manages the functionality to control the Finite State Machine (FSM). The mission designer can tailor the behaviour of the AI_BALANCER, by defining event and state transition methods. An explanation about state and event transition methods can be found in the Core.Fsm module documentation.

The mission designer can tailor the AI_BALANCER behaviour, by implementing a state or event handling method for the following:

AI_BALANCER.OnAfterSpawned( AISet, From, Event, To, AIGroup ): Define to add extra logic when an AI is spawned.

1. AI_BALANCER construction

Create a new AI_BALANCER object with the AI_BALANCER.New() method:

2. AI_BALANCER is a FSM

Process

2.1. AI_BALANCER States

Monitoring ( Set ): Monitoring the Set if all AI is spawned for the Clients.
Spawning ( Set, ClientName ): There is a new AI group spawned with ClientName as the name of reference.
Spawned ( Set, AIGroup ): A new AI has been spawned. You can handle this event to customize the AI behaviour with other AI FSMs or own processes.
Destroying ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is being destroyed.
Returning ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is returning to the airbase specified by the ReturnToAirbase methods. Handle this state to customize the return behaviour of the AI, if any.

2.2. AI_BALANCER Events

Monitor ( Set ): Every 10 seconds, the Monitor event is triggered to monitor the Set.
Spawn ( Set, ClientName ): Triggers when there is a new AI group to be spawned with ClientName as the name of reference.
Spawned ( Set, AIGroup ): Triggers when a new AI has been spawned. You can handle this event to customize the AI behaviour with other AI FSMs or own processes.
Destroy ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is being destroyed.
Return ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is returning to the airbase specified by the ReturnToAirbase methods.

3. AI_BALANCER spawn interval for replacement AI

Use the method AI_BALANCER.InitSpawnInterval() to set the earliest and latest interval in seconds that is waited until a new replacement AI is spawned.

4. AI_BALANCER returns AI to Airbases

By default, When a human player joins a slot that is AI_BALANCED, the AI group will be destroyed by default. However, there are 2 additional options that you can use to customize the destroy behaviour. When a human player joins a slot, you can configure to let the AI return to:

AI_BALANCER.ReturnToHomeAirbase: Returns the AI to the home Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.
AI_BALANCER.ReturnToNearestAirbases: Returns the AI to the nearest friendly Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.

Note that when AI returns to an airbase, the AI_BALANCER will trigger the Return event and the AI will return, otherwise the AI_BALANCER will trigger a Destroy event, and the AI will be destroyed.

Developer Note

Note while this class still works, it is no longer supported as the original author stopped active development of MOOSE Therefore, this class is considered to be deprecated
