Default Brain Stack

Default Brain Stacks

 

The Brain Stacks generated by Artemis provide most of the AI behavior of friendly and enemy ships in the various game modes. Since a creator of a script may wish to partially or completely re-create that stack in a mission script, this listing is provided as a reference. Note that these Brain Stacks can be viewed in-game by selecting a ship on the science screen and pressing F7 on the server until the Brain Stack appears. As of Artemis 2.4, Brain Stacks can be viewed for Monsters as well.

 

Enemy Brain Stacks

 

The following Brain Stacks are for Artemis 2.4. In Artemis 2.0 to 2.3, the AI block "ELITE_AI" is used instead of "SPCL_AI", and it only appeared on Skaraans. Note that as of Artemis 2.4, "SPCL_AL" appears for all enemy ships (except as noted below) even if it does not normally have the elite specials. This allows specials to be added to other ships in missions without needing to add the AI block.

Neutral Brain Stacks

 

Note the Brain Stacks listed below are only for non-scripted modes. As noted above, neutral ships in mission scripts use the same brain stack as enemy ships. This is new to Artemis 2.4, previously they used the stack listed below. In addition, in PvP all AI controlled ships use the same stack. (They are both enemies to the players on the other side and allies to players on their side)

 

Since neutral ships in Artemis 2.4 use the enemy brain stack, that means script authors must manually add the "FOLLOW_COMMS_ORDERS" and "DEFEND" blocks manually. Comms will not be able to direct neutral ships if this is not done.

*) CHASE_MONSTER actually has 2 parameters: the first one (which is omitted from AI debug menu) is the type of monster to chase (same as in 'create' command), the second is the distance to aggro. So actually, the default brainstack of sharks and nsects is 'CHASE_MONSTER 1 5000'.
