Carmageddon AI - Crippled Cars keep materializing

Post by Edfray »

You can hack the power-ups so that Pinball Mode does more damage. You then can use Cheat Mode and Pinball to cripple your opponents. But they won't be wasted as long as your car didn't touch them. You then should be able to waste your opponents with the most gentle of collisions. Here comes the AI. If you then try to avoid your last remaining opponent you may find it suddenly appearing behind you and headed for you in the slow ridiculous bouncy manner that crippled cars exhibit. If the car touches you it will be wasted and the race will end. Try to avoid the car. It will just keep reappearing...

Yes, the AI can beheave in very odd ways. This video illustrates it well:

Glad you think so Steel. I believe the reason crippled cars reappear is so that you can complete the level. I imagine a situation in which an opponents that has been Pinballed could end up in an inaccessible place. That wouldn't be fun.

Here's another AI behavior;. In one of the levels( the one that's like the Carmageddon demo level ) there is a cop car on top of the building very near the starting line. It will sit there until you are involved in a collision nearby and then it will join the fray and ram you. It will leave the area always by traveling west to the end of the block and then turning south. It then too quickly reappears on top of the building as before. If you try to follow it around the corner you will discover that it just vanished. The AI tries to conceal this mischief.
