AI Friends v1.4
The original BG3 party AI mod. This mod will make it so that when you cast the Friends spell on a party member, it will toggle them to an AI status so that they make autonomous actions during combat, out of combat you can control them like normal until combat is initiated again. Cast the spell on them again to toggle it off. Simple to use.
Changelog:
v1.5
Added Friends spell to core player skills
Additional adjustments AI to increase self sustainability and smarter healing
Added AI archetype references for self-tuning options
v1.4
Fixed Aura bug
Further improved AI (AI heals a bit smarter and prioritizes it's own survivability better)
v1.3
Improved AI (AI should be better about healing now among other changes, open to feedback on this)
v1.2
No Aura
v1.1
Characters fully controllable outside of combat and during non-enemy events (such as when large traps are triggered)
Conversations Fixed
This mod causes the spell Friends to work as an AI toggle changing your party members to be controllable by the AI whenever combat is initiated. Party members will use a custom AI package and will prioritize healing (when available and when either theirs or an Ally's health is low) and capitalizing on enemy weaknesses and positioning.
At this point, I've devoted quite a bit of time into this, especially in testing and improving the AI. If you'd like to incorporate the mod, please make meaningful changes so there aren't 10 versions of the same mod floating around.
To Install:
Insert the Public folder into your
\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data directory.
To uninstall:
Simply remove the above files.
This mod can be uninstalled/reinstalled or changed mid-save without any issues.
Will not work out of the box with mods that alter the following files:
Spell_Target.txt
Status_BOOST.txt
The spell can be cast on anything to achieve the same result such as Summons and Familiars. Anything that despawns will need the spell cast on it again. The spell doesn't use up an action point so it can be cast freely during your character's turn.
This mod does not provide easy access to the Friends spell. If you're a non-caster class I recommend using cheat engine to give yourself the spell.
To add the Friends cantrip using cheat engine:
Download the most up to date table from here (courtesy of Zanzer): https://fearlessrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13996
Open cheat engine, target the BG3 process. Select Console Commands > Register Commands > Random Cheats.
Double click where it says script next to add spell. It will open up a window where you can edit the script.
Where it says local spell = "Projectile_MagicMissile" replace so it says
local spell = "Target_Friends" and click ok.
Make sure your character is selected in game, and go back to cheat engine and click the checkbox by "Add Spell". You should now have the spell in your ability bar as a cantrip.
