Legacy:CTFSquadAI
From Unreal Wiki, The Unreal Engine Documentation Site
CTFSquadAI contains all of the AI code for Capture the Flag. CheckSquadObjectives is where most of the action is.
Properties
- LastSeeFlagCarrier
- The last time the enemy flag carrier was seen by a squad member
- FriendlyFlag
- The team's CTFFlag.
- EnemyFlag
- The enemy team's flag.
- ReturnPath
- The next AssaultPath on the way back to base for the flag carrier.
- ReturnPathTag
- The tag of the path that the flag carrier is following.
Methods
- AssignCombo
- Doesn't do combos while the squad is attacking.
- AllowDetourTo
- Allows the flag carrier to detour only in certain circumstances, such as if the home flag needs to be recovered.

- This is where ReturnPath is used.
- AllowTranslocationBy
- Doesn't let bots with flags translocate.
- GoPickupFlag

- Separates out the flag carrier logic from CheckSquadObjectives.

- Is the flag reasonably close to its base?
- CheckSquadObjectives
- The main AI decision-making function.
- EnemyFlagTakenBy

- AllowTaunt
- Don't taunt if you're carrying a flag or if your team's flag is out.
- ShouldDeferTo
