Man that looks sweet! I totally forgot that you made some way awesome stuff and who knows what else you even had in the works.

So is CC like, really on halt forever? That's a shame. What are the chances of you putting up a mod with that? :D

That was a work-in-progress of adaptive defense AI that was planned for vanilla CC that I was working on, until I stopped doing dev stuff. The plan was to have the AI capable of checking the status of its base to detect breaches and update guard positions, repair breaches with the constructor tool, and detect what areas often take heavy fire and reinforce those with the constructor tool.

Adaptive guard positioning was how far I got until I stopped.

I'm 99% sure that official CC progress is halted indefinitely. The adaptive AI WIP is technically DRL property and I'm no longer a dev, so unsure if I'm technically allowed to release it as a mod (not that Data would really care).

That's butts, oh well. I'm trying to wrap my head around that concept and it looks so cool! Was it hard to make? It looks pretty complex and super interesting! :grin:

The map is broken down into a large grid with each cell the size as one of those teal squares. The grid is slowly updated to check the terrain condition of each grid (which is simplified to Intact or Not Intact). The grid is then flood-filled outward from the brain, stopping after a certain distance or when a cell leading to the sky is found.

A cell at the maximum distance or at a position exposed to the sky is then marked as a position that needs to be guarded, and then the brain commands actorrs to go to those positions.

And it's all made with lua? It sounds too crazy to be just lua.

It's not really that complicated. 2D array, designate each cell for a spot on the map, mark it 1 or 0 after doing some terrain pixel checks for the map area, and do flood fills to look at open paths.

Well if you put it that way I suppose it is, I'm stuck in the newb modder mindset when it comes to Cortex Command lol.

Cheers on that though, looks fun.

Yeah, only part that seems like a hassle would be reliably checking if a box is filled. Did you ever get that going?

Yup. Adaptive base defending was pretty much complete as a concept, just needed a good chunk of polishing for official content (tweaking how many pixels to check in a cell to see if the terrain should be considered intact, cell resolution maybe, etc)

Terrain integrity was just multiple SceneMan:GetTerrMatter() or whatever the function was to the cell area.

Ah right, forgot that existed. Better than doing raycasts out from a center-point or something. Cool stuff, a shame it never worked out.
