Any ideas people?

AI gets really retarded, especially with black magic.

Solutions? I cant simply give every mage "short charge" or whatnot that would be lame.

What do you mean? You mean AI wizard dies before casting?

there are many problems.

The AI tries to cast when it SHOULD know its gonna go down before landing a spell. and other times it casts on its own people as if they werent there.

lowering damage? maybe it sound silly...but AI tends to cast that could easily kill enemy in one shot, or rather deal huge damage...even for an oracle, petrify will be most likely rather than the rest.

Have you tried philsov's idea, sir Zozma?

Hmm.. I don't know much but maybe you can experiment by placing 2 skills first,
then if they're fine, test another one.. and so on..

So essentially the AI casts things on team members when before they casted on another spot to still hit the enemy but avoid team members?

Pretty much. If you watch my video Miluda get's owned by Fabian leaving her with only 2 HP an letting me rush in for the finishing blow.

i put it in spoiler cause i dont wanna flood this topic lol, target enemies should be checked for the offensive spells under AI Behavior, under the Formula hit allies could possibly effect it, but do the unknown boxes look like this?...

I think the thing you need to configure is the AI settings.. since that's how the AI uses said spells. If it knows not to target Allies, and has the right HP/MP, etc boxes checked, it should function correctly.

Yeah about the AI i noticed there always trying to do something on there turn, but cant think what will hapend once there begin to charge a spell.
So an AI move in your knight to cast Fire 2 on him. But the Knight turn come before the spell is cast and kill the caster in one attack most of the time. If he do survive,His spell will make the caster kill himself...

In short, the AI dont paid attention at whats will hapend after he begin casting a spell.

This gonna be very hard to fix it because of that.
I think the only way is giving em No-Charge...But thats not really an option.

Zozma AI have used spells like that since the vanilla.

So if you make testing what box does what you may find the problem, fix it or both.

Making spells not hit allies? This may be abused by the player, but this will at less makes the AI not kill himself or his allies.
Yeah but still a good workaround fix for me. The best one yet.
