Overview:
This is a pretty simple AI once you see it! First lets review the abilities...
Now that you know what the abilities do, lets see how to best use them in AI commands.
AI Commands:
Most abilities you want to trigger immediately! So the second you enter a room, your ability can trigger giving it maximum effect!
that's it.. put that as the first command for all your crew who Don't have Healing rain or First-Aid! This works because of how AI commands work in this game. AI can only preform actions when they are possible. The AI is unable to use the non heal abilities when there's no valid target.. so by useing this simple AI command, you pretty much have your crew member locked and loaded to use his ability the second it IS possible to use it!
now let's look at how to best use the heal abilities!
For healing abilities we dont want an immediate trigger, that would waist the heal! I recommend triggering your heal abilities with a 50% hp trigger. Only advanced players should try to use the 25% health trigger. The reason we tell you not to use it, is due to the fact most crew have limited health.
if your crew member only has 5 health using the 25% health command means it can only trigger on health under 1.25... so your crew member would need to reach roughly 1 health for it to trigger.. that sounds great right? he heals right before he dies!! But wait... when enemy boarders come to kill your crew they do 2-3 damage at a time.. so if your crew member is at 2 health and gets shot again... he will die without using his ability! that's BAD.. play it safe! use 50% health as the trigger for the ability till you get stronger crew or you become experienced enough to take the risk!
that's it! hope it helps!
