I made this pet AI after i failed my first attempt baol infiltration. WIth it I completed infiltration on the 2nd try.

Couple of notes as always before I give away the code

• As always if the pet gets stuck at counter and the enemy is dead, thats precautionary in case it has multi aggro then hes already prepared. If you want your pet back use call! or come! or as I always recommend, bind a hotkey with the call command.
• Again, I am strongly opposed to AI that find its own target. To send your pet to an enemy, right click the target and click Attack with pet
• This is for fighting guard hellhounds only. If you want to use pets against other guard monsters youll have to suicide the pets because guard monsters instantly gets on alert mode when pets attacks them.
• This AI can handle up to 2 hellhounds most of the time. It can even handle 3 if you have a high ranked heal.
• The pet CAN STILL die because the lack of magic doesnt make for a perfect AI that will never die
• This AI is Stamina intensive, make sure you keep your pet's stamina in check and feed it food so it never gets too hungry and stamina pots.

Here is a video of me demonstrating the AI being used.

How well does it work on a regular hellhound?

How well does it work on a regular hellhound?
 

Id imagine not very well. Guard Hellhounds tend to screw around after getting knocked down, plus their firebolt is way weak compared to a regular hellhound.

I think my Ice Counter AI should be able to fight hellhounds though but only one on one since their firebolt hurts and fighting multiples will be a sure death

XD now i see, pet AIs sell food well

I got another question.

When I use an AI, it seems pets somethings get a quoue delay on their skill charge.

For example, ice counter. Sometimes, they don't counter. You see the quoue but they don't use it, they just run up and attack the enemy.

Any way to convince them to run back as far as they can before shooting/countering so they don't rush it, or end up shooting too close to a skeleton with a shield and defense? I can force the pet to use counter on the spot using the shortcut, but that tends to actually stop their AI for some reason.

I ended up finding out that the ice smash tennis AI doesn't work too well on Ghouls in a closed room because the pets always try to get too close and ends up getting windmill'd.

Basically, I'm finding the flaw in most custom AI's out there to be the fact that pets don't like to keep their distance very well. I'm WAY too lazy to even bother looking into it myself.

I have NO idea why, but recently, I've had this very strong desire to go all out with pets. Level them all to like 30+, make them uber powerful, and then start practicing simultaneous battling.

Using AI's I can take out big guys like bears or trolls using the ice smash AI, and with "command" AI with all my pet's shortcuts set up in the F keys (all my regular skills pushed down to the number keys), I was hoping I could clear out Rabbie rooms at twice the speed.

Practicing this is proving to be extremely difficult, I can't focus fully on both battles at once. Practice practice!

If I can master this I'd be so dang awesome.

I was wondering if there was a way to improve on the regular "command" AI so that I can get a pet to run back a bit during a battle or something when I want it to.

 It queues when it doesnt have stamina or mana. Most of the time its counter because of stamina. Pet hunger go all the way down to 10% so if you dont keep it fed it will get in the way heavily.

As for attacking after queuing it depends on the AI, if the AI didn't contain a stopper rule (its an empty rule with 1 condition but no action) Pets will cancel their queue eventually and just use something that they can afford stamina wis, which is attacking.

I actually have thought of this ever since i wanted my pet to properly ice counter a gargoyle. I wanted it to determine the enemy distance and if its too close take a few steps back.

The rule to do this is present, however whenever I try to put it in a compilation whether through in game clicking interface or through typing out the code in text, whenever you apply the AI it will either crash and disappear, or the game will say you cant.

I image its a bug.

Heh I understand, you're a mage after all a pet really compliments your style of fighting and not only makes it much more efficient it looks cool when you basically can perform 2-person combos with yourself using a pet.

Not in the middle of battle but you can always tell them call! or come! and bind those commands to a key.

Mine is at ~ key below escape

A friend pointed me to this. Looks fan-didly-astic. I use your other AI all the time btw ><

MOAR BUMPS.
