Evannex: AI vs AI – Altis

Arma 3 – AI vs AI Gamemode.

Zones are randomly generated around the map you need to capture these zones by completing objectives and killing the AI within the zone. It’s endless, zones keep spawning when you complete them! This game mode does not require any player input. AI will command themselves, leaving players to do as they wish without having to micro manage the AI. Essentially chaos unfolds between the AI. All units in the pictures are AI controlled aside from myself.

This is my first ArmA 3 mod. I also mainly made it for myself. This gamemode is also based off Invade & Annex which is very similar. I did not use their framework because I wanted to learn the SQF language and thought it would be fun to make my own version. Therefore it does not include the same things. You can view the code if you wish. I just wanted a gamemode where I can screw around and do what I want.

This gamemode is not really finished either.

You’ll find the mission file through hosting your own server. This can be done in the MP menu. It currently only adds the mission to Altis. Others maps can easily be added. You can also change the server params to your liking as there’s a few.

What ever you want… fly a jet, be a gunner in a tank or be a sniper. You can kill your own friendly if you really wanted too.. They do respawn.

None. This mod does not require any other mods.

Some things may be missing, that comes down to me not knowing what’s the best from other mods.

In-order to capture a zone most enemies need to be dead along with the objectives completed. The most important objective to complete is destroying the radio tower. Failure to do so will mean more enemy reinforcements will keep arriving.

Players can utilize the same transport AI use. Players can get in with other AI or alone. The transport can account for only having a single player enter the vehicle. When transport reaches its destination, it will automatically eject you and your friendly units.

Players can transport friendly units using any vehicle. In-order to become a driver you need a vehicle, simply spawn one. Once you have a vehicle there’s a marker next to the area where you recruit the AI. You’ll see a white marker on the grass behind them. Drive/land on it and wait.

It will keep spamming messages within the chat. If you get the message ‘No groups waiting or not enough seats…’. This means you either don’t have enough seats to account for a group, or, there’re no groups waiting for transport.

The message ‘Group(s) found!’ means a group has been found and has been commanded to enter your vehicle. Wait for them do to so. It will continue trying to find groups even if this occurs.

When you reach the zone use the ‘Eject Units’ to eject the units from your vehicle.

This mod does include the DLCs. It may or may not use them, it depends on what the AI wants to do.

This mod can be applied to any map as long as you have the scripts and placed the correct map markers.

The mod does have bugs so expect them. I have left this mod running for about half a day it still ran fine aside from minor bugs, take note that the garbage collector does not always delete everything, seems to be a bug in Arma. The longer you run the mission the more things that get left lying around causing more lag. You can enter into Zeus and delete these things. It’s usually invisible dead AI which I can’t delete via scripts for some reason.

The AI sometimes does not listen to the scripts commanding them, this can cause some bugs to occur.
