AI slots the best way? - Lightspeed - 05-23-2013
Are there other methods you use or always carry the AI around with you as backup?
What about the medic revive scripts?
And finally best scripts for patrols, occupying buildings and responding to CQB?

I dont think we "carry" AI as backup it is just that numbers sometimes cant fill all the slots for a specific mission or allow room for jip.
Missions dont always match the number of actual players and you have to go over the number of actual players not below.
i.e. 5 players online, will play a co6 mission not a co4 mission.
as for scripts for patrols and such, @GL4

Yeah, we usually select missions according to the number of present players plus about one or two. That allows for guys who are late to JIP in and not wait for an hour for the next round.
Whether to carry the AI around with us or order them to stay put is up to the leader's call.
Personally, I don't like any revive scripts other than the BIS first aid module and battlefield evacuation (dragging).

Urban patrol script and House patrol script seem to be pretty good
Phantom has info and links about both at his site, but let me know if you are having trouble finding them and I'll help you find a link.

I know both of those thanks - House Patrol is not a good one as AI are known for killing themselves by walking into bad positions and falling to death.
Garrison script for houses and also better than upsmon over small areas.
