FOLLOW

  • Even trickier as the distance between the player and the teammates increases
  • This works well in « All Clear » situations
  • Gets tricky when threats are around (Stealth)

> Pathfind > Stuff happens on their way to the leader

FOLLOW

We need some environment analysis OVERLORD

slide-11
SLIDE 11

FOLLOW - OVERLORD

  • Collects information about threats around the leader (~100m)
  • Cache

> Distance to the leader > Distance to teammates > LOS > … Allow to evaluate the relevance of a position to place the teammates

Outcome

We chose in data what kind of filters to apply 1

slide-17
SLIDE 17

FOLLOW

  • Systemic

> LD markups aren’t prerequisite > Works with all topology

  • Player centric

> Data collected around the player > Placement around the player

slide-18
SLIDE 18

FIGHT

  • Teammates don’t start conflicts on their
  • wn

> Player is detected and engaged > Player gives an order

slide-19
SLIDE 19

FIGHT

  • Target Selection

> Apply filters

  • Distance
  • Archetype
  • Inside Player’s FOV
  • Highlighted
  • Not already targeted
  • Threat detection

> Detection shapes capture threat signals

FIGHT

  • Balance Of Power

> Multiple events feed a gauge >Teammates Damages, shoot frequency and resilience are indexed

  • n it
  • Registered hits
  • Kills
  • Down state

CHEATS MAY HELP

  • Teammates are invisible

> When not fighting > Without orders

  • Boosted efficiency

> At the beginning of conflict > When in player’s FOV

FIGHT

  • Systemic progression inside the fight
  • The few player centric rules added

really helped the comprehension and feeling of efficiency.

SMART RECON

  • Teammates can feed the player with

information about surrounding threats. > Their position in the environment > Composition

SMART RECON

  • CoreLoopManager

+10 +12 +9 +10 +15 +10 +9 +300

> Seek threats around the player > Assign score > Check their eligibility

SMART RECON

  • Teammates become detection pets, useful

in recon phase

  • Add some credibility and understanding of

the environment

  • Omniscience is accepted by the player
