(Modding) AI can't comprehend and won't use combinations. #2950

While it didn't make it into Reunion's release, this would be a nice thing for modders to be able to work with for enemy design, or to be able to design player combination equipments without worrying about enemies getting their hand on it (Copycat/Bounty Hunter).

Honestly, this one is a bit of a long shot to implement - AI is really fragile and I worry about breaking things when I make changes to it. I might be tempted to do it anyway, just for completeness, but it doesn't seem like having enemies with combination support really adds that much?

I mean I can think of a few enemy designs that really wouldn't be possible without combinations (or atleast elegantly).

I think the biggest issue is definitely with enemies like copycat, it makes it very cheesable, similarly to the way it used to interract with "Must Equal X" equipments, kind make it so modders can't give Combination equipments to the player without some potential weird things happening.
