AI is based on human reaction. Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of defined human reaction in specified situation that computer imitates. Look at those AIs in popular 3D Stealth-Action games. For example, hitman2 or Deus Ex.
note: I have absolutely no background on AIs.
Factors that influence the decision of AI
Psychological
- Doubt meter?
A.I. suspects somethings, and starts further investigation. For example, in Deus Ex, if you drop something and make noisy, then A.I. will go to where sound came from and patrol there for a while. In hitman2, if you run while you are dressed like a different person, guard will get suspicious and follow you.
- Threat?
A.I. reacts aggresively, try to defend himself against his opponent. For example, in most of game, if you shoot at somebody then he will likely to shoot back at you.
- Fear?
A.I. doesn't do any other action than trembling or running away. You probably have seen many AI running away if his health is very low.
Senses
- Sight
If A.I. sees you doing some action then he will react accordingly. For example, in hitman2, if you be seen when you are dragging dead person's body then guard will be alerted and start shooting at you.
- Hear
A.I. doesn't see player's action directly, but hears unusual sounds and react accordingly. In hitman2, if you choke somebody with assassin wire just behind the door, then it will alerts guard. Because guard have heard someone dying..
- Smell?
This might not apply to human character A.I. but to animals such as trained dog. Hmm. I'm not sure if any game has used this. Anyway, A.I. dog could distinguish between bad men and good men by smell.
- Physical Contact?
Most of A.I. has this sense. If you sneak up behind enemy and just approach to him then he will notice then you are just behind him.
How to apply these to your map?
It depends on what kind of A.I. you want it to be. If you want to make police A.I. you could focus on pyschological factors. But if you want to make ganster A.I. who are very hostile then you could focus on Senses. So it is important to define which factor is more important on each characters. Because each character must have unique roles.
If you can't define actions that A.I. should take then apply situation to yourself. Ask yourself, what if I've been in this situation? then answer will come naturally.
