AI question

Post by new_user »

Hello,
Is it possible to make enemy ships engage from long range, without making the weapon range longer?
Huge AI range only makes the ship fly away if it gets attacked.
Any help will by appreciated.

Set the AI range to a reasonable amount. It should still be less than the range of its longest-ranged weapon.

Ai range doesn't seem to have much effect on the ship, it only means the distance between the ship itself and the enemy.
BUT, in order to get to that distance, the enemy first needs to be REALLY close, closer than the AI range ive set it to...
I suck at explaining, but I hope you get what I said.
