Hello!!

Quick question regarding AI :

So i went through AI.ini and I edited the soviet AI so that he builds dreadnoughts on brutal difficulty .In game he builds the dreadnoughts but they just sit at the docks they dont move or blink.

How do i script or trigger this AI to Attack me or something...because im trying to make naval gameplay a little more intersting

Please be a little specific with anwsers.

Thanks!!

Well, do you have valid ScriptType attached to the TeamType in question?

There's also one major thing to note about naval AI: AI-owned naval units only consider other naval units or waterbound structures as suitable targets for attacking purposes. Even if the team in question had a script that would order the naval units to attack any structures, the only thing they'd attack is Naval Yard, for an example.

There is a way to circumvent this but it's usability for skirmish AI purposes is questionable (need to order the units to attack specific map waypoint). Also, naval units still do retaliate against ground units if it's allowed.

you need to change the script. I have a .txt file that has all the scripts and numbers they represent and so forth. I'll take a look for it later and post it up.

I've managed to get a Boomer style sub to attack base buildings before, it required the script to specifically list targets using script 46. Half the time it didn't work tho as it couldn't get within range so it just moved along the shore edge trying to fire.

I couldn't get it to work with naval units using non-spawning weapons tho (battleships etc).

So sorry to bother again BUT:

I got the ai to attack me and everything with dreadnoughts but when he builds them he only destroys all my ships and my naval yard...

How do i script them to attack my main base automatically ?

Thanks in advance Smile

I dont get it

What are you trying to say?

You cannot make it attack everything. It only attacks water bound units and structures.
There's a way, but you'd have to specify every individual structure.
Attack structure Pillbox 1
Attack structure Pillbox 2
Every structure having its own script action.
Since this is RA2 and not YR (+Ares) I don't see any other solution to your issue.

As I mentioned tho that method barely works & only for one type of unit. If the script gets to a building you haven't built/don't have yet it will get stuck too, so it's not recommended.

Exactly, might come in handy for missions, but not skirmish.
Isn't there a blueprint for this for Ares?

Read the replies in your topic. This was answered before, just like your previous question about how to make them attack ground stuff.
