Raid Han AI

So....it's random 20% of the time? What?

Your small sample size does not equate to actual data.

Weighted... this is a thing... really it's is. I use it in game development all the time. You have a 90% chance of following a particular path... otherwise, it will randomly select the path it chooses.

This isn't sorcery, it's game development.

Ok fine. But there's zero evidence that anything like that happens.

My own limited sample size indicates it's random 100% of the time. Neither of us can be trusted though.

Not really, what I understand about @t0neg0d post is that characters have different weights. So all the characters in YOUR arena team have the same weight, while in my arena team Daka is a heavier than the others, and in @Shaunyvee 's team First Order Officer is the heaviest.

t0neg0d is not a developer of this game so he doesn't know, he's just speculating.

What I've noticed is, that 90% of the time raid han stuns Vader in my team... occasionally he selects someone else. He does, however, go after Vader to an almost predictable level. When I fight a team w/ raid han, I either change my strategy to the expected stun, or bring in a pretaunt tank to limit the effect of Vader being stunned. Every now and then, I'm surprised & he picks another character... but it is rare.

This leads me to the most logical conclusion that the devs implemented a widely used AI method.... weighted decision-making.

Like I said before... It's not sorcery... It's not even an obscure concept. It is literally used in all decent AI implementations.

I use FO exclusively in arena and my First Order Officer does not get hit by Raid Han 90% of the time. It is completely random on who he hits. They all get their fair share of getting stunned.

I'd also like to mention that this game is written in unity. There are so many AI libraries available for unity, that the chances of CG having developed their own (when the cost is minimal) is minimal at best. This is likely the case for thier entity system, particle emitter system, shaders & basic rendering pipeline as well.

Do you work in an AI Development field though?

I actually have written an AI library (as well as particle system, entity system, single-pass lighting render pipeline, and many others) for one of the most widely used java-based rendering engines. Its what i do for a living.
