How to make French AI build multiple Grand Cannons?

Crap Guy · Soldier **Joined**: 07 Dec 2009 **Location**: ???

How? I have already placed GTGCAN in PBuildDefense, BuildDefense, PrerequisiteDefense, and other AI defense snippets that I forgot. Also I gave GTGCAN an IsBaseDefense=yes tag. Still didn't work.

Just clone GTGCAN a few times, but of course don't let the player be able to build the clones.

There is a way to do this without cloning. I just don't have access to the code right now. I'll post it when I have access to it.

make GTGCAN, GTGCAN, GTGCAN, GTGCAN more time in the lines, I think that's worked for me.

Cloning like OmegaBolt said is how I do it also. Just C/P the GTGCAN code into your map ini like 5 times and rename each of them with something like

[GTGCAN1]
[GTGCAN2]
[GTGCAN3]
[GTGCAN4]
[GTGCAN5]

Set these to
TechLevel=-1
AIBuildThis=yes

add them to the list
[BuildingTypes]
xx=GTGCAN1
xx=GTGCAN2
xx=GTGCAN3
xx=GTGCAN4
xx=GTGCAN5

xx= being the next available number for BuildingTypes

and there ya go.

I wonder how Templar did it.

you can make them build more by way of Triggers, scripts, and teamtypes also. That might be what DTX is talking about.

The AI file tells the computer to build units, not structures. however, you can tell AI to build a unit that deploys into the grand cannon..

You must be referring to map editing, where a building can be made through script, which would be predictable, and dull.

My knowledge on AI triggers is a little rusty but,

Nope, it tells the AI to build a certain teamtype (not specified in the one you showed) when it has more or exactly 10 Grand Cannons.

Add GTGCAN to AlliedBaseDefenses, then add the following to GTGCAN:

AIBasePlanningSide=0
IsBaseDefense=yes
AntiInfantryValue=25
AntiArmorValue=25
AntiAirValue=0

Thanks for that info Speeder, like I said my knowledge on AI isnt very good. I think someone told me that before also, but it's hard to remember everything about this game.

That's part of it, and you also need to change these lines;
Owner=French
RequiredHouses=French
ForbiddenHouses=British,Germans,Americans,Alliance,Russians,Confederation,Africans,Arabs,YuriCountry

Yer I was wondering if the Owner needed to be changed or if RequiredHouses would do the job, wont you get the NCO bug tho?

I've done adding GTGCAN in AlliedBaseDefenses tag. I'll try the values, owner and the AIBasePlanningSide tag.

No, because all houses are listed in the three tags. I use the same code and I don't have the NCO bug.

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

I know curiosity killed the cat, "not referring to you, DTX" Laughing

but I'm curious, what is the NCO Bug?

The "New Construction Options" bug. I've never experienced it so I don't know its cause, but the bug's name comes from the fact you will frequently get the EVA saying "New Construction Options" when there's nothing new to build.

Thanks Mig Eater and Dark. That solves the problem. Anyway, you'll get the NCO Bug if you messed with the TechLevels.

No, TechLevel has nothing to do with NCO bugs.

You tried making a french only AI trigger that requires say 3 GC's? get it make a bog-standard attack team off it.

[BuildingTypes] are not valid for [TaskForces].

no, make a, say, 3 GTNK takforce, that has a trigger of 3 GC's. AI aspires to build 3 GC's so taskforce can be built.

worked when my AI wouldn't build helipads.

I've never heard of this kind of bullshit mate Confused

That's what I was thinking. That's not even close to valid. If the AI wasn't constructing airpads, you did something else wrong.

MRMIdAS · Energy Commando **Joined**: 17 Jul 2008

Fair enough.

Why don't you just do what Mig Eater said and destroy AIBuildThis=yes tag?
