Make AI steal cars

If you create a vehiclethief how do you make the AI use him?
I already got the taskforce ready (5 vehiclethiefs) but how do I let them steal a car?

The only way I know is leaving them in area guard, they'll go to take any nearby vehicles.

What if they have a weapon? Is it possible to have a vehicle thief with a weapon, that the AI can use to attack infantry and steal vehicles?

Then their primary messes up - you have to manually target stuff with it.

Oh, and some more observatory notes: hijacking a robot tank is a bad idea

Why not use Terror Drone / MC hack then?

aimd.ini scripting, give them mission "Area Guard".

CannisRabidus · 08-25-2005, 02:48 PM

They aren't going to just hijack civilian cars on their own...

Whiteboy · 08-26-2005, 09:00 AM

Good point - Tomtaru, did you want this thief to steal cars (i.e. the civilian ones that sit around harmlessely) or enemy vehicles only?

AlliedG · 08-26-2005, 10:18 AM

ai won't steal cars, unless its singleplayer house hacking
