As far as I can tell, AI use the same airless damage routine as the player. Hence, reducing their airtics should already do the trick. |

AI and the Player use different routines. (UpdateAir()) What I was looking for was if AI were KO'ed, not to let the "grace period" apply. That code is already there. So reducing the airtics for a KO'ed AI won't change anything, since it's already reduced to 0 each time the AI breathes. One problem I see is the setting of m_AirCheckInterval, which is set once at spawn time, to a random duration of 1-5 seconds. So if an AI is assigned a value near 5, he'll drown more slowly than an AI who's assigned a value near 1. To provide more uniformity, m_AirCheckInterval should prolly be recalculated each time UpdateAir() is run, rather than use a fixed value set at spawn time. Math with current code: Assume 100 health. Air damage is 10. Quick-dying KO'ed AI will die in (1 + random interval)*health/damage, so (1+0)*100/10 = 10 seconds. Slower dying AI can take up to (1+4)*100/10 = 50 seconds. It's these later guys that are prolly causing the reports to come in. Math with random intervals recalculated each breath: (1+4/2)*100/10 = 30 seconds. To make them die more quickly, the "4" can be lowered, so a random duration will be between, say, 1s and 3s, which would reduce death to (1+2/2)*100/10 = 20 seconds. Something like that. |

Removing myself as "Assigned To" because I doubt I will ever have time to work on it. |
