if you have played the "LD Sniper TDM" map then you know that it is possible to fire at someone from 500+ meters away..... anyway, i am trying to add AI to this map, and so far i have made it so that the AI can spot the player..... but the AI is not firing, and when i set it to Engage at Will the ai just hides behind the medical tent, could someone please suggest what the problem is

You can get the AI to fire over that sort of distance. Things that help are:-
- make the AI loon a sniper, snipers have better spotting ability irrespective of the weapon they carry
- make sure the sniper has a clear field of view: preview the mission with yourself as the sniper, then place a checking unit beside him and preview with yourself as that checking unit
- make the sniper's skill maximum
If all else fails try using a reveal command, so that the sniper knowsabout the target. Engage at will is probably unhelpful as it will tend to encourage the sniper to advance towards the target. Adding binoculars to the sniper might help, you never know.
