New Taskforce:

[NEWTEAM]
Name=2 VEH003
0=2,VEH003 ; 2 veh003 will be built by this task force
Group=-1

Now for script... hmm.... let's hunt everything

[HUNTALL]
Name=Let's hunt, guys.
0=0,1 ; attack enemy
1=11,14 ; do hunt

Now, for a new team type:

[VEH3TEAM-G]
Name=2 Vehicle Model 003 will hunt everything
VeteranLevel=1
MindControlDecision=0
Loadable=no
Full=no
Annoyance=no
GuardSlower=no
House=<none>
Recruiter=no
Autocreate=no
Prebuild=no
Reinforce=no
Droppod=no
Whiner=yes
LooseRecruit=no
Aggressive=yes
Suicide=no
Priority=5
Max=2
TechLevel=0
Group=-1
OnTransOnly=no
AvoidThreats=no
IonImmune=no
TransportsReturnOnUnload=no
AreTeamMembersRecruitable=yes
IsBaseDefense=no
OnlyTargetHouseEnemy=yes
Script=HUNTALL
TaskForce=NEWTEAM

and now, for the allmighty AI Trigger Types... prepare your hearts people, this is pure emotion #Tongue

...

DASTRIKE=2 Vehicle Model 003 will hunt everything,VEH3TEAM-G,2,-1,French,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,60.000000,60.000000,60.000000,1,0,1,0,<none>,1,1,1

Just remember that you need to declare the task force, script type and team type above.

dies this siege unit needs to deploy to fire?

Mike · Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2003 7:32 pm Post subject:

NO, just a normal unit with massive range and firepower but has low strength

so it can't go alone... The script type above orders it to hunt every enemy, to fire it and to react to any agression...

Well i can add more units to the force, are those "numbers" the only thing i must edit? if yes i can go on from here

You only need to edit the task force to add more units. Try adding units that have the same speed as your veh003, so the attack will be more syncroned. Check the tutorial I posted in EE about messing up with Task Forces:

http://www.entexplode.com/ts/modding.shtml

They were orignally made for TS, but they serve for RA2 as well.

Ok and i will edit the script too i think.

It doesn't work

here is the code i use

[NEWTEAM]
Name=2 VEH003
0=2,VEH003 ; 2 veh003 will be built by this task force

Now, for a new team type:

[VEH3TEAM-G]
Name=2 Vehicle Model 003 will hunt everything
VeteranLevel=1
MindControlDecision=0
Loadable=no
Full=no
Annoyance=no
GuardSlower=no
House=<none>
Recruiter=no
Autocreate=yes; so it will build more often
Prebuild=no
Reinforce=no
Droppod=no
Whiner=yes
LooseRecruit=no
Aggressive=yes
Suicide=no
Priority=5
Max=2
TechLevel=0
Group=-1
OnTransOnly=no
AvoidThreats=no
IonImmune=no
TransportsReturnOnUnload=no
AreTeamMembersRecruitable=yes
IsBaseDefense=no
OnlyTargetHouseEnemy=yes
Script=(some script that exists)
TaskForce=NEWTEAM

and now, for the allmighty AI Trigger Types... prepare your hearts people, this is pure emotion #Tongue

...

DASTRIKE=2 Vehicle Model 003 will hunt everything,VEH3TEAM-G,2,-1,French,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,60.000000,60.000000,60.000000,1,0,1,0,<none>,1,1,1

How do you mean it doesn't work? Remember the AI prioritises the team types and picks them according to priority (I can't remember which value the priority is) if its got multiple ones at the same priority then it'll pick at random I think so you may need to test for a while before you see any results.

Banshee · Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2003 6:10 pm Post subject: My mistake...

the AI Trigger Type I sent you had 2 big mistakes:

- 2 followed commas (which you fixed)
- French was in the place of the object. So, the requirements to the trigger be launched would never happen and it would never be launched.

So, here's a fixed version:

DASTRIKE=2 Vehicle Model 003 will hunt everything,VEH3TEAM-G,French,2,-1,<none>,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,60.000000,60.000000,60.000000,1,0,1,0,<none>,1,1,1

As i said before, one of the values in the trigger type (i think) is a priority value, i altered said value on the Mammoth Mk 2 team types in TS to make life a bit more interesting. As to which value it is you'll have toi ask banshee

Banshee · Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2003 1:27 pm Post subject:

the second of the big numbers 60.000000 should be altered to 10.000000.... I'm not sure... just mess up with these numbers and it might improve it...

One Of A Kind · Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2003 4:32 pm Post subject:

yeah, i can't remember whether you have to increase or decrease the number but it shouldn't be hard to test out.
