Combat AI for Party Members #103

Open cambragol opened 3 years ago

cambragol commented 3 years ago

How about tweaking the NPC combat ai to allow the avatar's companions to fight without guidance. Might be possible. Would certainly be appreciated by many who can't handle handling 8 party members in each combat.

Nice idea.

I was thinking about making something similar to the SMS combat. But adding AI would be cool too. Perhaps make it a toggle like active player.

(How did I miss all these issues earlier?)

It couldn't be thaaaat hard. If the monsters can do it, NPCs could do it too. Code could be repurposed/shared to conserve space. A toggle would be cool. I think it would revolutionize U4 though. Managing 8 people in combat is just something that modern, pampered (time constrained?) gamers cannot handle.

(These are all issues I shelved long ago, in favor of quest/addon critical stuff for Tott. Can't add everything!)

I always thought this would be a nice feature and would make the game more enjoyable
