See also [[Custom AI]] for a means of overriding creature AI directly on a lower level.

The core AI scripts that control what a creature does makes use of a large set of variables in the default [[var_creature.xls]] [[local variable]] table. The variables and their affects are:

{{variable table start}}
{{Variable table row| AI_BALLISTA_SHOOTER_STATUS | int || When set to AI_BALLISTA_SHOOTER_STATUS_AVAILABLE, will try to move to nearby available ballistae and fire them. Set to AI_BALLISTA_SHOOTER_STATUS_INACTIVE to disable. This variable is modified by the ai_ballista_h script to keep track of ballista-related activities while active.}}
{{Variable table row| AI_CUSTOM_AI_ACTIVE | int || Set via the CAI_SetCustomAI function (include cai_h in your script for [[custom AI]] support.) }}
{{Variable table row| AI_CUSTOM_AI_VAR_FLOAT | float || A float value that can be used by custom AI scripts for any purpose. }}
{{Variable table row| AI_CUSTOM_AI_VAR_INT | int || An int value that can be used by custom AI scripts for any purpose. }}
{{Variable table row| AI_CUSTOM_AI_VAR_OBJECT | object |0| An object value that can be used by custom AI scripts for any purpose}}
{{Variable table row| AI_CUSTOM_AI_VAR_STRING | string || A string value that can be used by custom AI scripts for any purpose }}
{{Variable table row| AI_DISABLE_PATH_BLOCKED_ACTION | int || }}
{{Variable table row| AI_FLAG_PREFERS_RANGED | int |0| If the creature prefers to use ranged combat. Should be set on-spawn for enemies and when switching weapons for followers outside of combat only}}
{{Variable table row| AI_FLAG_STATIONARY | int |0| if set to 1 the creature will try not to move to attack. For follower this flag is used to tell if a follower can start attacking yet}}
{{Variable table row| AI_HELP_TEAM_STATUS | int |0| 0, not active, 1 active, 2 currently helping, 3 called for help}}
{{Variable table row| AI_LAST_TACTIC | int |0| }}
{{Variable table row| AI_LIGHT_ACTIVE | int || }}
{{Variable table row| AI_MOVE_TIMER | int |0| }}
{{Variable table row| AI_PLACEABLE_BEING_USED | object|0| }}
{{Variable table row| AI_REGISTERED_WP | object | 0| An AI waypoint registered by the current creature. A creature registers a waypoint by changing its tag and storing the object ID on itself. A creature un-registers a waypoint by retrieving the waypoint stored on itself and re-setting its tag}}
{{Variable table row| AI_TARGET_OVERRIDE_DUR_COUNT | int |0|For how many rounds the target have been overriden, so we can limit it. }}
{{Variable table row| AI_TARGET_OVERRIDE | object || }}
{{Variable table row| AI_THREAT_GENERATE_EXTRA_THREAT| float |0| Used in custom fights to have some creatures generate this extra specified amount of threat when perceived.}}
{{Variable table row| AI_THREAT_HATED_CLASS | int || Used by target selection AI ([[ai_threat_h]]) to weight target selection in favor of a particular class }}
{{Variable table row| AI_THREAT_HATED_GENDER | int || Used by target selection AI (ai_threat_h) to weight target selection in favor of a particular gender }}
{{Variable table row| AI_THREAT_HATED_RACE | int || Used by target selection AI (ai_threat_h) to weight target selection in favor of a particular race }}

{{Variable table row| AI_THREAT_SWITCH_TIMER | int || }}
{{Variable table row| AI_THREAT_SWITCH_TIMER_MIN | int || }}
{{Variable table row| AI_WAIT_TIMER | int || }}
