Kread's AI Packages
Version: 1.1
Author: Kread-EX
Release Date: 10/05/2010
Introduction
This script provides pre-programmed AI Packages, in order to make your life easier when you want to create intelligent enemies. Note that this is only a tool, meant to be used in conjunction with battle events, and doesn't dispense the developper to put a little effort in designing the enemies. Misuse of this script can result in horribly overpowered monsters. Warning given. Although developped for XP, this script is cross-engine and will adapt itself to RMVX.
Instructions
There are 5 provided Packages:
Healy: Enemies using this AI package will try to heal and cure as much as possible, and only if needed. Only if healing is useless, the default AI will resume.
Protect: Enemies using this package will firstly try to buff themselves, then heal, then debuff the party. If nothing of this can work, the default AI will resume.
Support: This package doesn't give any priority. The character will just spam support skills with 0 power. If none of the skills can work, the default AI will resume. I recommand to give a rating of 1 to support skills with this package, and a high rating to attack skills, so the default AI won't try to use ineffective skills.
Wild: Then again, this package doesn't give priority. The characters will just calculate the average damage caused by all their attacks and always select the most damaging.
Balanced: No priorities again, and no orientation either. Basically, this package choose a random skill but only if it works and against a acceptable target. Best used in conjunction with Battle Events.
In the beginning of the script, you have a few constants named AIHealy, AIProtect, AISupport, AIWild and AIBalanced. Very simple, just put in here the IDs of enemies using the selected package, separated by commas.
For VX users: The ever-so-convenient note boxes are here. Just add one of these in the box.
<package: healy>
<package: protect>
<package: support>
<package: wild>
<package: balanced>
If you need to change a package during a battle, use a Call Script command:
$game_troop.enemies[member_index].package = :healy, :protect, :support, :wild or :balanced.
Script
Just here.
Compatibility
Should work with all Battle systems, except TBS. Might clash with Tankentai, but I'm not sure.
