| text = This page documents a couple AI awareness fixes in hex edit form, but these mods are now available in user-friendly ways. Installing the [[AE]] will give you the [[Daodan DLL]] in Windows or a newer build of Oni in macOS which will correct the engine's projectile awareness code, and the AE will fix the Mad Bomber particle as part of its core mods. | |||

Particles spawned with Dodge and alert radii (one without the other won't work so well), gain danger spheres, which can be seen with "ai_showprojectiles = 1". While inside the red sphere (alert), nothing really happens, except that the AI is alerted. When it inside the blue sphere, the AI will attempt to escape outside of the sphere, if the sphere was configured properly. To see if everything is working properly, turn on "ai_showpaths = 1". There should be two blue lines that project out of all AIs who are on the sphere's border or inside the sphere, toward the sphere, no matter where the AI or the sphere goes.

Even if you have a fixed Engine and AI, characters will not avoid the Mad Bomber properly. While they may dodge, it will only be in one direction. This is because the sphere is completely static. Luckily for us, this is fixable. | Even if you have a fixed Engine and AI, characters will not avoid the Mad Bomber properly. While they may dodge, it will only be in one direction.
