Custom Action AI (Enemy Skill use AI)
Version: 1.4 (BETA)
Author: TDS
Date: January 17, 2013

Version History


  • <Version 1.0> 2013.01.17 - Beta Release

Description


This script gives enemies a basic AI that by process of elimination allows them to select targets. By using special tags you can make an enemy only use a healing skill when really needed or a skill which inflicts a state only when necessary.

Features

  • Adds a simple AI to enemies to decide which skill to use.

Instructions

Instructions are on the script with some examples, please note that this script requires some scripting knowledge to use.

#==============================================================================
# ** TDS Custom Action AI (Skill Use AI)
#    Ver: 1.4 BETA
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  * Description:
#  This script allows you to set requirements for enemies to use skills. Such
#  as its target not having a certain state or its HP  being above a certain
#  value
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  * Features:
#  Adds a simple AI to enemies to decide which skill to use.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  * Instructions:
#  To add AI to a skill, put this in the enemy's notebox:
#
#    <Skill_Use_AI: ID>
#     AI_TAGS
#    </skill_use_AI>
#
#    ID = Is the ID of the skill to apply the AI to.
#    AI_TAGS = These are the tags that determine how the AI for the skill will
#              work. A list is below.
#
#  Examples:
#
#  Here are some examples of AI based on certain scenarios. (The default RMVXACE
#  is used for them)
#
#  Scenario:
#    The enemy has the skill "Heal II" (ID 27) and only wants to use it on
#    targets that do not have full HP. It also wants to select whoever has
#    the least HP to heal them.
#
#    Here is how it would translate into tags.
#
#    <Skill_Use_AI: 27>
#      Remove_If: (t.hp_rate * 100) == 100
#      Sort_by: t.hp_rate
#      Select_First
#    </Skill_Use_AI>
#
#
#  Scenario:
#    The enemy has the skill "Poison" (ID 27) and only wants to use it on
#    targets that are not already afflicted with the state Poison (ID 2). It
#    also wants to select whoever has the highest HP.
#   
#    Here is how it would translate into tags.
#
#    <Skill_Use_AI: 35>
#      Remove_If: t.state?(2)
#      Sort_by: t.hp
#      Select_First
#    </Skill_Use_AI>
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  * AI Commands List:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Condition Shorcuts:
#   Some tags use conditions as part of their process and these are some
#   shorcuts to relevant objects such as targets, user, switches and variables.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#     t = Target within a block of code of targets array.
#     u = Action AI user. (Battler that is processing skill AI)
#     s = Switches. (s[1] would be the same as Switch ID 1 or $game_switches[1])
#     v = Variables. (v[1] would be the same as Variable ID 1 or $game_variables[1])
#
#     Examples:
#       t.hp (This would get you the HP of a target)
#       s[1] == true (This would be true if Switch ID 1 is ON)
#       v[10] < 100 (This would be true if the value of Variable ID 1 is less than 100)
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Requirements:
#    Requirement tags are required parameters from the user in order to use the
#    skill.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Required_Turn: Turn_A, Turn_B
#    Req_HP/MP: Min, Max
#      ^ HP/MP Should be replaced with either.
#      ^ Min and Max are the ranges the HP or MP must be between. (As Float values)
#      ^ Example: Req_HP: 0.5, 1.0
#
#    Required_State: State_ID
#    Required_Party_Level: Level
#    Required_Switch: Switch_ID, State
#      ^ State is the state of the switch to check (ON or OFF)
#
#    Require: Condition
#      ^ Require that Condition code is true.
#
#    TRequire(_ALL):
#      ^ Targets must meet required conditions.
#      ^ If _All is part of the tag then all targets must meet the condition.
#      ^ Example: TRequire: t.hp > 100 or TRequire_All: t.hp < 100
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Remove:
#    Remove tags remove targets if the tag requirements are met.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    TRemove_If: Condition
#      ^ Remove target if conditions code is true.
#      ^ Example: t.hp > 100
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   Select:
#     Select tags allow you select a specific target if necessary.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Sort_By: Condition
#      ^ Sorts targets by condition code. (Must be a comparable value)
#      ^ This tag is meant to be used with others like "Select_First/Last"
#
#    Select_(First/Last)(: Min)
#     ^ First/Last Should be replaced with either for selection.
#     ^ Min is the minimun amount of random targets to select. (Optional)
#     ^ Example: Select_First or Select_First: 2
#
#    Select_Default
#      ^ Selects amounts of targets based on the scope of the skill.
#
#    Select_If: Condition
#      ^ Select Targets if condition code is true.
#      ^ Example: t.id == 20
#
#    Select_Random(: Min)
#      ^ Min is the minimun amount of random targets to select. (Optional)
#      ^ If no value is used then the default 1 will be used.
#      ^ Example: Select_Random or Select_Random: 3
#
#    Select_Targeting_User
#      ^ Selects targets whose actions are targeting the AI user.

Known Compatibility Issues

In theory it should work with any battle system that uses "execute_action" method.


Author's Notes


For now it's still in beta and requires some scripting knowledge to fully use. I will add simplified versions of popular tags if there is enough interest in the script and people suggest them.

The reason I have not added a lot of tags is because I am not making a game which would require them. So instead of waiting months and slowly working on it, I thought people could use this script in their game and make suggestions on the tags they use the most.

It should also be very easy for scripters to add their own tags into the selection process structure through aliasing methods.

Restrictions

Only for use in non-commercial games.

Looks like something I was just thinking about/looking for actually. One tag suggestion:

Prioritize targets that are targeting the enemy. For example if actor A targets monster A with a attack/spell while actor B targets a different monster, and monster A's ability is tagged, then he will attack actor A.

I'm also curious if this script keeps Target Rate in mind, the stat that makes it more likely for monsters to target specific actors.

Something like "Select_If_Targeting_User" that would pick whichever target is currently targeting the user? Also should it take into account skills that target everyone or just single target selection skills?

As for the target rate you should be able to easily sort targets with the current tags, but I think I will add it as a simplified one.

For example:

Code: [Select]
<Skill_Use_AI: ID>
  Sort_by: t.tgr
  Select_First
</Skill_Use_AI>

Edit:

Updated the script and added more documentation for the condition shortcuts, tag commands and some bug fixes. Also added the "Select_Targeting_User" which selects targets whose actions are targeting the AI user.

Here is an example that makes makes the enemy only attack whoever is targeting it.

Code: [Select]
<Skill_Use_AI: 1>
  Select_Targeting_User
  Select_Default
</Skill_Use_AI>

(Please note that the AI will use the default battler AI if no targets are found. This means that if you left "Attack" in the Action Patterns of the enemy it will still attack)

With this other example the enemy will wait if nothing is targeting it, even if it has a default AI.

Code: [Select]
<Skill_Use_AI: 1>
  Select_Targeting_User
  Select_Default
</Skill_Use_AI>

<Skill_Use_AI: 7>
</Skill_Use_AI>

Definitely sounds like a script that will improve battles. I'm not making a game with Battles in it though, so I don't currently have a use for it. However wanted to show that I am at least watching the topic :)
All of my scripts are totally free to use for commercial use. You don't need to ask me for permission. I'm too lazy to update every single script post I ever made with this addendum. So ignore whatever "rule" I posted there. :)

Hey, sorry for necroposting here. This script is really good, just one thing I don't understand: Required_turn.

Does it work the same way as in RMVXA where turns are evaluated using a formula? (for example, a + b(x)?
