AI won't go upstairs in some specific buildings
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

AI won't go upstairs from the first floor in the big, white buildings NW of Pyrgos, coord 16634 12805.

I've tried with waypoints, doMove and moveTo commands, first to the positions I wanted him to go, and then directly in the stairs, but nothing works.

The only way I can get AI to go upstairs is by placing each unit directly in the stairs, ex:
this setPosATL [16635.0,12805.4,0.551023];

Then it will move as expected, and go up all stairs even on the other floors. {F26110}

Steps To Reproduce

See attached file for mission example.

1.Basically, I've put a four man unit outside of the building. Player is NOT the commander.

  1. Add waypoints on the building. I've put position # 8, which is directly in front of the stairs, then position # 11, which is on the second floor right up the stairs, then position # 24, which is on the last floor.

Follow the AI commander and check his behavior. He'll go to position # 8, then move to where position # 11 is on the second floor, but stays beneath on the first floor.

In the mission file I attached, I also include another four-men team, with the commander positioned in the stairs. He'll go up as expected to his waypoints, but the other team members will roam on the first floor, never getting to the stairs.

Additional Information

You can also try this when being commander, and ordering a unit to move to a position on another floor. The AI will move around on the first floor, and then finally reply with "Negative".

Yes!
At Stratis Airport twr, for example. 19 positions! One unit is able to climb upstairs to control room (position 16), not two. If you order a second unit, it will be stuck at first floor.
Empty the tower and now, try to order a unit to reach the position 19 (on roof). There is a vertical ladder to climb. Unit will try to climb then fall then retry until wounded or dead.

It seems paths to some positions (intermediate) are sometimes broken.
If a unit is still in path or in position, the other units are stuck somewhere at the start of the paths.
Ladders are dangerous!
