Command "Find Cover" for AI is not working
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The command"Find Cover" implies, that a man will look for the most effective shelter. But unfortunatelly in the Arma3, for Ai units, this command is useless. in all cases, the AI will not seek shelter in buildings, even if it is close to them.
Example:

At least a most units should take cover inside buildings (if the any building is nearby) But no one unit will not do this. @Bis, teach the AI use the "Find Cover" command is adequately.

If we look closely at this video, then we will not see that AI seeks shelter at all. Most unit only ran up to the fence or left in place in the prone position. I think, for command "find shelter", need to create a special osnap-positions to which AI will have to move. These points can be placed inside all buildings. This positions also can be internal corners of buildings, or in dense bushes.

Thus, this feature will not adversely affect the performance and can significantly improve the Ai.
I am for AI to look smarter!

Hi,

this issue is related even to year 2014. We have fixed this command in first January days. Trust me, it was the much worst when the unit found cover behind traffic sign and so on.
Since version - 1.67.139925 is this behavior fixed and another change is not planned.

Thanks for understanding.

Hi, thaks for your attention. I understood
