Players are then filtered through threat checklist: Begin threat level is 0, if the distance between player and chopper adjusts adjust threat level, if the player is attacking the chopper = threat level is 100, multiply the player's current score by 4 = current threat level, if the player was already assaulted on = add anti-threat value, if the anti-threat value becomes less than 0, threat level is 1. It adds up all these values to and attacks accordingly along the path. Hope that helps.

I'm aware. We tried two maps and ran about 5-6 tests of each variable on each map with all the rest held constant. Every single time the helicopter just went for the closest person. For each set we didn't test a lot but overall we called in around 20-30 choppers. Every single time without fail it just picked the closest to start shooting first. Of note, it didn't swap targets a lot. Tried to keep shooting that person until he died but that's really about it.

Attack Helicopter and Pave Low acquire targets using the same set of code. The difference is their firing type. Attack Helicopter uses a simple turret code with a convergence mod to close in the on the player's position as it shoots, with a clip size of 40 and a random pause of about 0.5-2 seconds per clip fired. Pave Low uses essentially Sentry Gun burst firing modes on each side with a minimum shot amount of 40, and a maximum amount of 80, each with a pause of 1-2 seconds between firing.
@pmaccarone11 жыл бұрын
Targets are acquired for each player in the game that the turret can target, it balances the following factors: If the player is alive, if the turret can target the player's position, if the distance between the player and chopper are under 3700 units, if the player is not on the chopper's team, if the player is not the chopper's owner, if the player has just spawned = give them 5 seconds of safety, if the player has the blind eye perk, if the turret can see 50% or more of the target...

There was one other factor concerning helicopters that didn't get mentioned that I would suggest: level of engagement with an enemy player. Over the course of my playing I have noticed that when an enemy helicopter is out I seem to get killed much more frequently if I am actively engaging (shooting at) an enemy player, rather than simply running around. Perhaps the helicopters have a built in priority clause that attacks those who are attacking?
@Jimbob133712 жыл бұрын
with regards to attack choppers and AH-6s, they will not attack a person who shoots them with a SMAW or grenade launcher, instead going for the closest non BE enemy. If you shoot them with a stinger, it has no flares and takes 1 stinger to kill. pave lows require 2 stingers and WILL attack the person who just shot the stinger at them if they are the closest non BE enemy. Escorts will only attack if you are within a specific radius, it will not attack those that are far away. BTW, preds kill all!

my idea to fix the problem with ppl not picking up tags is to make one kill score as half of point streak and picking up tag another half so if you are killwhore and you are not picking up tags you will have to double the number of your kills to get ur killstreak and if you are objective player you can get pointstreaks for just picking up tags and not neceserly killing anybody(sry for bad english)

Ac130 is death if you are really good at it, but personally I always do this: I shoot the 105 at a group of 2-3, but since it takes a few seconds to hit the ground my mind automatically says "Oh shit I missed" and I shoot 2 or 3 bullets of the 40mm at the same place, wasting my shots. Ac130, like the reaper, travels in a circle and one some maps that sucks you get horrible angles against buildings. The pavelow flies around slowly AND can carefully aim and kill people inside buildings.

in mw2 and black ops they at least had it to where you had to be in front of it to shoot you, so if you stayed behind it you were also hidden, but they really messed it up in this game so it could shoot you from any angle as long as there is open sky above your head, making it a necessity to run and go hide in a building and be bored for the duration its up, or waste your perk spot on blind eye

The way the Predator works is it spawns closest to the team it's coming from. So if your the furthest person away from the enemy team thats usualy where the predator "Pre-Aims" itself. So if your not constantly behind enemy lines and a predator appears it will most likely go to the noobs rushing an open area or campers in the spawn. Hope that helped somebody :)

no, everybody would rage about it but who thinks rational about getting killed. it's not about deserving it or getting punished for earning points, it's about being a primary target because appearing dangerous. anyway, I see your point and it's clear that nobody would accept being killed because of his points whether low or high. So, the whole idea of attacking low/high scorers is kind of unjust and shouldn't be a part of the factors the heli AI regards.
