Ok I see. I would guess you cannot count it like that, plus 1 bandit means minus one zombie.
Well] it was simplify because add bandit they have to reduce number of zombie so - i hope bandit AI will be just a little bit diffrent that zombie and it will be fine.Ok I see. I would guess you cannot count it like that, plus 1 bandit means minus one zombie.
bandit AI will probably be more complex, with bigger performance hit.
But that's all still in the early works, so I think nobody can tell right now about definite numbers.
...I still stay with 12
And if 1 bandit dies, 1 Zombie spawns? Or spawns another bandit then?
Well this depends on number of "bandit's POI" because bandits there will be active probably most of time.
The number of bandits that are spawned at any one time. Say a bandit takes x2 the performance of a zombie, then I would not want more that half of them in the world compared to the number of zombies a computer can manage and still have a reasonable FPS. Now that does not mean the world will have bandits everywhere. That depends on game play goals. I would like bandits to be rare, because this is a zombie game and 99% of the population is dead or a zombie.
I have! i hope this will be forgotten like '90 aestetic xd@faatal I remember we discussed briefly a long time ago about the possibility (I proposed) to use "decision trees" for the bandits AI (I only have a non-professional understanding of what that is TBH). At the time, you said you were against it for some reason.
So, I'm curious... what type of AI "approach" are you going to use for bandits?
I've heard programmers talk about "scripted AI", "decision tree AI" or even "learning AI".
Have you got any juicy detail to share on that?
I usually would say something what i think about mods but i agree with you that they doing good job
For reference, Fallout 3, which is a weird and unfair comparison to 7dtd, had usually around 16 bandits/entities tops on a POI. They were enough to give the player a good sense of thrill and "emotional romantic moments" with 'them guts flying around'. Skyrim POIs and some quest scenes spawned around 30 entities, but that was unusual, as lesser numbers were more common.
I'm not against decision trees for any reason other than I don't need them for what I want to do. What we have now could be called decision lists, which are lists of tasks that get checked in order. Bandits will probably have more task types added to support new behaviors.@faatal I remember we discussed briefly a long time ago about the possibility (I proposed) to use "decision trees" for the bandits AI (I only have a non-professional understanding of what that is TBH).
