I’m brand new to working with AI, so while I know what I want to do, I have no idea how to do it. (I’m working with FE7, if that matters.) What I want is to make an AI that has the units move as close to a specific tile as possible, and then attack whatever’s nearby. Edit: I’ve realized I haven’t…

For AI documentation, check this thread: [image] [FE7] The Official AI Documentation Thread Documentation Primary-Secondary AI system AI byte 1 = Primary AI AI byte 2 = Secondary AI First, if a unit is in recovery mode (explained more below), it attempts its recovery ac…

Have them move to a specific area without attacking anything along the way Eg. Ai1 do nothing ai2 target coord Then have a range event in that area that changes the ai1 of the enemies to attack Would this work for you? Easiest way, I think

IIRC you can’t change the AI of an active unit, and an area event triggers while the unit is active. You can change the AI of the units inside the area, but you can’t change the AI of the unit that activated the event.

you can set a flag to trigger an event to change their ai as a turn event [image] There is probably a more elegant way to do this but i haven’t messed around with it in a long time I would probably try making it a post-action routine to change AI with a little asm as a better way if I needed thi…

These AIs do what you say you want to do. If the unit is not at the specified range, they will move towards a specific coordinate, and if they are their AI changes to move towards enemies. [image]

On the topic of changing enemy AI, you could give the enemy a unique Id and you won’t have to use an area affecting event to change the AI. You could change specific units AI.

I know that much. The problem is that I don’t know what changes to make that will get them to do what I want. In this case, I want them to move towards the specified tile and then attack anything nearby- on the same turn. I can’t figure out how to get this to work, since I can only get them to move…

AI1 runs before AI2, so it first judges whether the unit can attack or not. If the unit can’t attack, then it moves. What you’re saying you want would invert the order of AIs which I don’t know if anyone has done something like that. So the workaround that I’d consider simpler would be by alternati…

I see. This is super useful stuff to know! With any luck, I can switch some AI1 and AI2 commands to get the results I’m looking for. Either way, thanks!

Has anyone tried AI opcodes 19 or 1A? They don’t seem to be used in vanilla, but they are both listed under the Assault category in FEBuilder. 19 seems to allow numerous terrain types, while 1A appears to be a pointer to such data. If it actually is an attacking type like its category suggests, this…
