Ai triggers..

Core Defender · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 20 Feb 2006

Hi, ive made a map so your in the middle, and there are 8 waypoints of the map which send neutral reinforces to attack you. Time delayed ect..
How can i make it so when he sends a mcv on the map via my trigger, it builds like a normal ai, insted of me telling him what to build? So changing him from neutral to a computer? Can this be done? How?

Thanks.

Here how you do that... there are a couple of ways.
In both ways you go to the houses option, and in the section it says: "Act like" you choose either Nod or GDI (depends which side you want).
Go to the script option and tell the MCV to go to waypoint # than add a 'deploy' script.
Afterwards, you either:

A. create the built Construction yard on that waypoint and the rest of the base buildings in the respective places you desire.
Go to 'Base nodes' in the left colomn and choose 'create node and delete building' click once on the buildings you just placed (including the construction yard). Now the AI will build the buildings IN THE ORDER YOU PLACED THE NODES.
We want the AI to produce units too, right?
Go to triggers and add the following events:
- production begins
- autocreating bagins
- AI triggers begin

B. If you don't really care how the AI builds his base; you can just go and add the following events to your trigger:
- production begins
- autocreating bagins
- AI triggers begin
- Autobase building begins <- This one's the most important.

Hope I helped you.

I think he's talking about a multiplayer map Confused

He also posted this at TumSun. It's impossible on a multiplayer map. It may be possible by using nodes, but I have never done that before and it probably causes way too many crashes.

He said that you're in the middle and all around you neutral forces attack you.
I figured its like that zergling rush map in StarCraft.

But yeah, if its multiplayer, no dice.
