How to make an AI RADAR - Space Engineers Automatons AI Update

Рет қаралды 81,523

Күн бұрын

The new Automatons AI Update has been released for Space Engineers, with it came the new grid AI blocks, featuring the following: AI Flight Block, AI Recorder Block, AI Basic Task Block, AI Offensive Block, and AI Defensive Block. Today, I am showing you how to use some of these blocks in a different way, by making an AI radar system. One that can detect enemies from 2.5km away and even launch defense drones in response.

Space Engineers is a voxel-based sandbox game set in space and on planets, developed and published by Czech independent developer Keen Software House. In 2013, the initial developmental release of the game joined the Steam early access program. During the following years of active development, Space Engineers sold over one million units. In total as of 2019 the game has sold over 3.5 million copies In May 2015, for approximately a year and a half, the game's source code was officially available and maintained by KSH to assist the modding community. On December 15, 2016, the game entered Beta and was later officially released on February 28, 2019.
The game is a sandbox game about engineering, construction, exploration and survival in space and on planets. Players build space ships, space stations, planetary outposts of various sizes and uses, pilot ships and travel through space to explore planets and gather resources to survive.

If you use the AI defensive block instead of the offensive you can set it to trigger actions without the thruster or the event controller.

@AliceDoesThings404 Жыл бұрын

Great suggestion, would probably work better to some extent. Though with the event controller, at least you can trigger more actions.

@@AliceDoesThings404 Set the defence block to “trigger now” a timer. Timer can make 100 actions. Alternatively there’s a locked enemy distance setting in the event controller.

Event controllers can trigger 9 actions if you use the toolbars, more with timer blocks of course.

@mattstorm360 Жыл бұрын

This is neat. Going to play around with this. See if there is a way to link the drone to the beacon so if the enemy is detected, the rotor stops and the drone is sent forward towards the direction of the enemy before the AI offensive takes over.

@AISurvivor-sh6dl Жыл бұрын

I've actually found a way to do that first step. All you gotta do is add a gyro (Off), another event handler and a timer. Snyc the timer to the first event handler, and make it turn off the rotor and turn on the gyro. Its a bit shaky for some reason, but the radar will focus on the target. Use the second event handler to detect when the thruster goes off, and then shut off the gyro and turn the rotor back on.

This is great, we're all trying to figure out how these new blocks really work. Good job. I'm already thinking about how to send badly damaged drones straight to a grinder pit or how to set up a retrieval drone to pick up downed flyers.

@AliceDoesThings404 Жыл бұрын

These blocks have so much potential and so many uses, both for making drones, but also so much more if we think outside the box. And we are barely scratching the surface! I am glad this was of help, and wish you good luck!

@darkstar_sierra1588 Жыл бұрын

For the Grind pit you put a Event Controller on the drone and have it set to "Block Integrity %" then add the Thrusters, etc and set up the integrity of those blocks e.g 70% and make sure you have "AND Gate" enabled as well so it won't trigger the event controller if one engine or battery gets damaged (Correct me if i'm wrong) all the selected blocks will have to take the same amount of damage with "And Gate" Enabled before it triggers the RTB sequence which the "Base" will be the Grind pit but for the Ship recovery that one i don't know how to do yet.

Is there a way to set this up for weapons and not for drones? And what I mean by that is instead of having a drone that will go and intercept an enemy could you set it up as a weapon on your ship being the AI and the radar searches for enemies and if they are in line of sight for the guns they will lock on to that enemy and fire. Kind of like automating your ships defense system. If there is a way that is something I would be interested in a video for.

@AliceDoesThings404 Жыл бұрын

It is something you could do yes. But if it would be cheaper is another different story. If you are going to include those two event controllers in more drones than just one, it will quickly become more expensive. And besides, the radar can do a lot more than just launch drones, once detecting enemies.

The Enemy Detecor is way to complicated. Just palce a AI Defensive block on the base (even without that rotor) than if he detects an enemy you could start running a timer on the drone ( start an action ). if you got more than 1 drone you could start a timer on the base that starts all drones ( defensive ai block only has 1 action and timers have 100 )
