AI hang: Cautious mafia specialist with a shotgun

[ushas]

(v23, linux, HB)

Mafia, fight with lieutenant Rico Lucchesi, Aug 6+, SlumConstruction1, district G7

Problem: The battle freezes when it's a turn of one of the brown coat specialists (CautiousAI). He's holding a shotgun (Eurocorp Orthrus). No errors in the log.


Notes:
In one of the previous combat rounds, he decided to do a double shot with the shotgun.
 
Guessing from the archived log, the last turn he starts with 8AP and 0 ammo. And it seems he decided to reload the shotgun + do a single shot (3+5=8 ap). But there is also something looking like movement lines. Unfortunately, I don't remember whether he reloaded and/or moved before it hangs (looks some orders were executed). For sure only know that he hadn't fired at all.

The last line: "Item.CheckIfEnoughAmmoForAttack. Use mode: 0"
-> thus I'm guessing he wanted to fire the single shot. It ends here, but on normal occasions it's followed by lines with "Item.ApplyDeteriorationFromUse", then "CharacterMainScript.SetupRangedAttack", checking criticals etc...

I suppose some lines in the log are just that AI contemplates options, and that there is also a lot under the hood what isn't printed. So the above musing upon his actions and where it all ended is probably very misleading.

Thanks, looks like there are quite a few AI hiccups : /

Btw. there is no day info in the log. So unless I always pair it with a save to check in game, will be able to deduct only month and hours and minutes of time before the battle. Mentioning in case you'd ever need such info from a log in the future.

[Daithi]

Did he complete the move component of the order?

Set up a test scenario with all hitmen and double barrel shotguns, allowing them to fire away over multiple maps. No luck on recreating. Based on where the debugging ended, have been able to narrow down what could have gone wrong. Most likely scenario seems like the character didn't have enough ammo to complete the order. I've added extra debugging, so we'll have a better idea of what's going wrong when/if it happens again.

Checking out the code for the ranged orders at the moment to see if can spot a logic error.

[Daithi]

Can't see anything wrong in the checks preventing AI characters trying to fire more ammo than they have without reloading.

[ushas]

Honestly, I don't remember about movement.
Think it was his second turn or something. That would mean no ammo in the pockets...
When did a few tries on recreation last week, the guy shoots ten+ times with a shotgun, reloading all right.

I can check the date and load a near save, to do the battle a few more times. Can imagine you would rather get rid of this. During v22 was getting some ghost enemies on this map too. Hopefully at least one of the issues shows. Unless ghosts were reported or fixed already?

[Daithi]

No fixes on ghost as far as can remember. Ideally if I could get this issue to happen, I'd be able to check things like ammo left etc. It will happen eventually.

[ushas]

Of course, that would be ideal. Just that when you said that haven't recreated, guessed that ammo clue might originate from the info from over here. I believe you, np, but wouldn't want to cause any misleading in accident. Recalling, in v22 had AI hangings which were most probably issues of low AP (eg. distracted + 4ap + rifle), but the log was telling various things, not saying anything about AP. Sometimes also throwing an error around the line with "CheckIfEnoughAmmoForAttack". So thought to try some different things around in the meantime, just in case. But, yeah, probably won't help anything.

Haven't managed to get much time to play over the weekend, no new info on this, but was lucky on the ghost recreation. Will open then.

[Daithi]

If this is linked to enemies with shotguns, it has been fixed.
