There are alot of advanced AI tutorials and discussions throughout this forum. This is more of a design philosophy as well more than a problem.



Easy ways to make it seem more realistic or advanced is to have operations with checkpoints and goals. The AI should always be doing an operation no matter what, if it is not its broken. The basic first stem operation may be to wander around looking for other operations to do. Or if its a guard is has to stay in one spot for a certain amount of time looking for people trespassing. Then onces its shift is over, a new operation is used and that makes it move to its next goal(Going home, etc..). For fighting the operations can be used for the different techniques, first it would check is stats if he is more physical related and is in good health he may rush in to knock out his oponet. If he is long-range oriented he would use attacks that fit his needs. If he is low on health he may run away and hide until his health is restored.



While operations are hard to make, they are alot more advanced than random wandering and normal BYOND AI. With operations you can have your AI be as smart, stupid, realistic, or basic as you want. That is probably the best way to complete an advanced AI in BYOND.

3 things.



1) This belongs in Developer How-To.

2) I don't understand the question enough to gather a reasonable answer

3) All I understood was "Realistic", try this site as it was made to make things more realistic.

Assuming you do it correctly.

yeah thanks again,

see this does flow with my ideas. a lot

atom

proc/Look()

proc/Listen()

proc/Sniff()

I can add.

proc/agresser()

proc/attack()
