How do you enable AI?

I am new to the game and I don't know how to enable it. I've gotten to spawn a car and use tab to control it but how do I enable the AI?

 

AI is still very WIP, but right now it's enabled through an app.

Open the UI editor (you may have to enable advanced functions in settings to see it), click the plus button to add an app, add the AI Control app, close the UI.

From there, be in the vehicle you want the AI to use, and select the AI mode from the dropdown list. Random will follow waypoints/roads on a map, driving aimlessly, and flee will use the roads to escape you (or whatever car you're in)

 

Thank you very much!

 

How do we set waypoints? When I use the AI feature the ai cars just go off to either left or right and go straight.

 

You don't need to set waypoints unless the map doesn't have any roads. All the official maps (except puregrid) have either waypoints or drivable roads, so the AI will use them. If you're working on your own map/using a mod map, I would suggest looking it up or waiting until the map is updated with waypoints/drivable roads.

You can easily make any decal road into a drivable road by just selecting it in the editor and changing "drivability" from -1 to a positive number, 1 for ideal roads and less than that for less desirable roads.

 

Higher number = better road. While the perfect road should be 1, a dirt road should get 0.5.

 

Ahh, okay. I knew the value did something to change the desirability of the AI's choice, but I couldn't quite remember the exact syntax. Thanks
