Hello.

I know, that AI owned naval units dont work well, but i have seen a mod, in wich the AI attacks all enemy naval yards.After the AI destroys them, he will kill any new naval yards as well.

I have been trying to acheive this by myself , but i couldnt.

Script 6,n didnt work.
Nor did script 49.

Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks.

If the AI can't find any more Naval Yards, and it has further actions after the 49 (repeat previous task), then they won't attack any new Naval Yards. Best bet would be to either make 49 the last action, or the action to attack Naval Yards. I'm not 100% sure, as I've never seen the AI run out of structures of the type given in the script (base defences, factories, etc).

Seems to work for me fine. AI naval units don't seem to like targeting land stuff but they always attack other naval units. If Naval Yards or naval units are destroyed then they just sit around until another one is built and attack it immediately.

For most of my navy I just use this... might not be the best but they always attack things.

[Global_Script010-G]
Name=Attack Anything
0=11,15

Indeed, it's best to let all scripts end with 'just attack everything' as a fail-safe.

Ok, i used bolt's script, and it works flawlessly. However one thing seems to be weird.When the AI attacks with spawners(dread,carrier), he seems to stick to the shore where the enemy has a load of deffences.Also he seems to break past a naval yard so he can attack a farther one.

What if i added the gather script?

Will it make it any better?

Naval AI = bonkers. Don't expect much intelligence out of them unfortunately.

Hmm ok, thank you guys for your help anyways, this script will be very useful.

Well try other scripts. Attack buildings might work better for Carriers/Dreadnoughts.

Mig said that he got the naval AI to attack base buildings using script 46.

I could try that. If it doesn't work, il stick to 11,15. It works great.

Sure 46 should work too, just means you need to make different scripts to attack different structures. But I suppose a good AI coder does that anyway. #Tongue
