Hubble
Hubble is an AI tool used for utilizing movement and direction in a 3-D space. Hubble can plot AI models onto a map and give them direction through enhanced graphical interpretation. This interpretation modifies the AI's location in a given environment.
Hubble Tools:
Navigation
Navigating in Hubble is a lot like operating a train set. You place tracks, build bridges, handle communications, manage railways, set speeds, measure distances and a whole lot more. There is not much of a difference when handling AI. Navigating the Hubble menu looks similar to what you are gazing at right now!
AI Models
3-D AI Models can be loaded into a map by Hubble. Models will only work if their Locator feature is enabled.
Boundaries
Boundaries are set by the player once the AI is placed into a map. These boundaries will dictate how far AI are allowed to travel in.
Locator
Hubble also utilizes a locator feature that acts much like a Turret. A turret that if enabled locates the subject and tracks them based on the radius set by the player.
Traits
The AI model contains trait values set by default. At any moment during Hubble mode the player can edit AI traits to enhance or diminish game-play.
Notes
Logic
This is like baking a cake you have to have the right recipe or else it won't work. First, you would have to have constructive movement. Constructive in a sense that executes tasks given by the user to the AI. Such as, offensive and defensive game play. Offensive game play would require the user to implement AI trails consistent with the maps construction and layout. After applying these motions in a certain location the AI should follow them. At intersections, jumps, loops, and whirls AI should turret around to get a good perspective of the landscape. Hubble will allow users to lay down movement schemes which allows the AI to take as a Hot Route in case of an emergency. Next would have to be defense, defense should play a lot like offense except it should play in the opposite manner. It should be able to backtrack all the steps laid out by Hubble and be played in the opposite direction.
