Re: Heroes need to be Generals: Objective Commands/Emotes/Voicelines
WHAT IF!!!!... You can use War General Emotes to communicate with online players, AND TO COMMAND AI!
- Follow Me: AI will follow you until they die, or until they reach another objective zone.
- This Isn't Working/We Need a New Plan: AI will seek another vantage point to attack their targeted objective, or attack/defend with another preset strategy.
- Fall Back/Retreat: AI will retreat and find cover outside the command post they are currently in and continue to attack from the outside until the command post is clear, or until a percentage of occupying enemies have been eliminated, at which point they will automatically begin, and announce that they are going to........
- Push Forward/Press the Attack: AI will move into an objective zone if they are near, or stop whatever else they are doing and seek the nearest objective zone (this could inadvertently help when AI are stuck in weird parts of the map).
- Watch Out/Get Ready: AI will reserve their abilities for the next X seconds, only using their guns, melee, and will find turrets if there are turrets available.
- Hold the Line/Hold your Positions: AI will seek cover and stay in the immediate area, or remain in an objective zone.
Hero Commands are erased when they die, or when another command is received (either by other Hero, or automated programming that overrides commands).
