oh mai, another ai topic

wardeathfun

like in mental omega? X_x i need step by step instructions. if you know me well you would know i get confused easily with big and small words. what i want it todo exactly is....

ai build mcv
have some units drive with it. and guard it

have it go to flat land anywhere on map (not get stuck in a ore patch)

deploy, make a barracks, warfactory, and ore refinery with alot of defenses.

is what i said possible :p ?

If the AI builds an MCV, and it has the MCV deploy script, it will automaticly search for a place to deploy (too bad it sometimes tries to do that inside it's own base...).
And when it deploys an mcv, the AI automaticly sends all units it got to the new conyard.
When it's deployed, the AI will automaticly build a secondary base. But don't try this with 2 conyards, then the AI will build everything 2 times, including superweapons Wink

But to answer your question: yes, it's possible. I advice looking at the original MCV create trigger in the ai(md).ini Wink

alright, i will do that. but how do you make it so the mcv goes to allies base and how do you make the script only work once it builds super weapons?

there is a AI tutorial for a reason, we don't spoon feed you.

the bug dutchgamer mention is a actual two factory ai bug e.g. if ai has two barracks, it gets double inf

you can achieve what you want specifically but only on heavily scripted ai maps

I advice looking in Deezire's ini guide, and try creating some simple attacks yourself. That's how I started too Wink

The script would look like this:
[XXXXXXXX-G]
0=53,0 :OR YOU CAN HAVE 0=54,0
1=9,0

This means the units go to enemybase(how many cells away from the base is controlled in rules[AISafeDistance=]), and then deploy. AI will take care of the rest.
If you have 54,0 instead of 53,0. The unit will gather outside there own base(that is also controlled by AISafeDistance= tag)

That script is also in the original ai(md).ini. It's called the MCV deploy script Wink

i was just hoping the ai would build a mcv and have units follow it and make curtain buildings... but cloning everything is good too.
