Delivery SW auto hunt

I suggest "Deliver.Hunt=yes/no" to units created with UnitDelivery superweapon. This tags creates infantry and vehicle types begins with "hunt" mission...

How about this instead:

Superweapon > Script = (Mission Control 'or' [ScriptTypes]) ; defaults depend on SW, usually Hunt

This tag could be enabled on all superweapons that can give the user a unit (ParaDrop, UnitDelivery, DropPod, GeneticMutator, PsychicDominator)

This would allow the modder to make the AI quite a bit smarter in its use of such units.

Just add new AI scripts specifically for the units in the Delivery SW & give them a very high trigger weights.

I use a Deliver SW in D-day that gives reinforcements every 5min, the AI will normally recruit the units & attack with them before the next lot of reinforcements arrive.

This are for skirmish maps or mission maps?

Either... The AI works the same, just for skirmish it reads the AI(md).ini & for missions it reads the map file.

I can add AI scripts to human player? I need AI teams created with UnitDelivery fighting for the player's side... They are possible from Aimd.ini?

No that's not possible, best you could do is give the units a large GuardRange.

I try with GuardRange=2500... units shows attack lines but dont move... To solve it i request deliveyunits can created with "hunt mission"

You could use the hunter seeker SW instead, I doesn't specifically have to use a flying kamikaze unit. If you use a regular ground unit it will drive around on its own haunting targets.

Edit: I split the topic to avoid clutter in the main thread.
