Need help with building buildings far from my base !

Abdragon95

I would like to put my Psychic Beacon far away from my base, but it's not available, as neither of the buildings in the game!
Can anyone tell me some code in rules.ini that determines this placing !?

What Lin said. Adjacent is the amount of Cells that can be between a BaseNormal structure and the structure you want to build, and can be diagonal cell distances.

If you have tech buildings on the map you can build next to them. If you change the adjacent number the only issue I can see is that the AI might do the same and it could be a cluster f***

Nah, pretty sure that AIBaseSpacing overrides that, and WantsExtraSpace.

well, you would be surprised. i have a beta map that has 5 players. I played against the AI all on brutal and took me 3 hrs to beat. they built everywhere and anywhere even just out side my base. If you make an AI script that says create a mcv and move to friendly tech building (you pick with you want them to move to) and deploy they might build

If you give the AI multiple production facilities, they go apeshit. This is especially true with construction yards. In fact, it's worse than war factories and barracks.

That's just ai base clone spamming.... Never let your ai have multiple mcv's unless you want issues to occur like that.

Also `the reason you can build next to buildings is the tag BaseNormal=yes on tech buildings."

And EligibileForAllyBuilding= allows allies to build off this buildings if set to yes and checked off on skirmish menu.

Fen, I never tested it. So basically, if computer has two construction yards, then he can build two buildings at same time?

yeah, but it's not a good idea. They will build multiples of EVERY building. Including SW's. Unless you want some crazy spazoid AI, I dont recommend you do it.

I am so giving the AI 2 super weapons. I will keep destroying them. Over and over again.

Well, as long as there are buildings on my maps the don't go crazy. I have an urban map that is just cliffs I haven't created the civilian buildings yet so yeah they can go crazy. I have to fix the AI to limit them back to where they should be

Building an extra SW structure does NOT have any effect on the Superweapon. And it definitely does not give them a duplicate SW.

Every building they build appears in as many copies as they have ConYards, so basically yes. Not only that, they will build additional Construction Yards as well. So just as Fen said, it's bit like the thing with WF/Barracks, only much worse.

And yes m7 is correct. Multiple superweapon structures does not equal multiple instances of a superweapon.

AFAIK ARES fix this

It can be toggled in Ares. It was never 'fixed.'

When I said, "They will build multiples of EVERY building. Including SW's. " I meant only the structures not the SW itself.

NEIN!!!
What if I gave them the same super weapon but like WEATHERSTORM1, then create a new one and call it WEATHERSTORM2? Then maybe I could code a map and make them create both and have them appear the same but not be the same building. If only the RulesMD.ini could take "if" statements... I would put
if(WeatherController == 1)
{
set WeatherStormActive = 1;
}
else if(WeatherController >= 2)
{
set WeatherStormActive = 2;
}

That would make things so simple...

It's enough "simple" to confuse me...

You could make cloned superweapons and attach them to cloned structures, but you'd still have to build one after another. And you can't activate multiple Lightning Storms or Psychic Dominators anyways.

That's why RA2 is more

do {
if(WeatherController) {
set PlayerXHasWeatherController;
}
} while PlayerXDoesNotHaveWeatherController;
