[AI] Production Rules...

MrTweek

im currently editing the AI-logic, so that the AI builds like an online-skirmisch. For example:

10 Cyborgs
4 Rocketeers / Discthrower...
10 thicktanks

but how can i say: build an MSA and deploy it in your base?

my matches are ending everytimes after 10 Minutes with 10 bases (GDI + NOD).. at the moment it is very lonlyness ... so i want that the KI knows, that im coming with subterain-unit and the Ai has to attacking it =/ but how can i do this =/

I dont know how to help you will advanced AI logic but the Mobile sensor array wont be deployed by the AI. What I did was make the Mobile sensor array buildable as a structure already deployed and no longer as a unit. It will function the exact same but the AI will actually build it. Just make sure to have AIbuildthis=true

Owner=GDI,Nod is lacking.

I had added owner= Nod,GDI,AAA to it , the AI doesnt build it anywas... is the Techlevel=-1 the problem? =/

Anywher i have heared it should help to set it to Techlevel=11 so the AI can build it, but the player can only deploy it =/

no spaces

owner=bla,bla

not

owner= bla,bla

and although techlevel -1 shouldn't be problem for AI
give it 1 just in case

you should also give it a Prerequisite building requirement

like Prerequisite=GACNST

which is construction yard

The missing prerequisite key (in addition to Owner=GDI,Nod,AAA) is indeed most definitely the reason why the AI isn't building the deployed MSA.

Since it was implied that there's a third faction that's supposed to use this, Prerequisite=GACNST won't work however.
Instead, provided you've set up the prerequisite categories properly, you're best off using something like Prerequisite=FACTORY,RADAR.

Does not matter, you can use tabs if you like. I code all my INI's with tabs between the equals symbol.

this config does the trick... in a match against the AI at tech-level 4, i had found the Deployed sensor array near the baraks =)

Code:

[GADPSA]
Name=Deployed Sensor Array
TechLevel=-1
Prerequisite=FACTORY,RADAR ; <------- needed
Strength=600
Points=50
Cost=950
Sight=8
Power=0
Armor=heavy
SensorArray=yes
Explosion=TWLT070,S_BANG48,S_BRNL58,S_CLSN58,S_TUMU60
VoiceSelect=25-I000
VoiceMove=25-I012,25-I014,25-I016,25-I018,25-I022
MaxDebris=2
UndeploysInto=LPST
BaseNormal=no
Owner=GDI,Nod,AAA ; <---- needed
ThreatPosed=0
DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys,SmallGreySSys,BigGreySmokeSys
DamageSmokeOffset=500, 500, 400
HasRadialIndicator=true
RadialColor=40,200,10
CloakRadiusInCells=30
TogglePower=no
AIBuildThis=yes ; <---- needed
Buildlimit=3 ; to going safe, that the AI builds only Three of this =)

thanks at all =)

that indicated harder matches longer than 10 Minutes XD

Adding a build limit is pointless, considering the AI entirely ignores it. That aside, the AI won't ever build more than 1 deployed MSA unless it has more than 1 Construction Yard anyhow (and this is the case for all of the structures the AI builds, aside from a few exceptions such as power plants and base defenses).

Okay, but the result what i want is good (soo far) =) and the Ai detects cloaked and Subterain-Units =) so the AI can handle this Case before an lose of there Construction Yard / MCV =)

it seems the AI launch all functions of weapons, in the case when i say, build an EMP-Cannon he will launch it? =/

No, the AI won't use the EMP Cannon. It only uses the Multi-Missile, Ion Cannon, Chemical Missile, Drop Pods (always targeted on its own base) and the Hunterseeker.

You could make an AI only EMP Cannon that works as a defensive building instead of a SW etc.

Yeah, that could indeed work quite well if you set the ROF right, although it's unfortunately not possible to make the AI fire it at detected subterranean units.

You can stop subteranunits by firing an EMP-Schock (when yhey are under the Ground? =O

Yeah, it forces them to stop their underground traveling and get up.
