AI Ships

Is there anyway to get the AI correctly building and using ships?

The best naval yard method in TS is here
but it doesn't allow proper AI usage.

My suggestion would be to stop playing skirmish, and go online #Tongue

best thing would be to give the shipyard a weapon (invisible with 1 dmg and a range of 225).. AI would try to deploy it in water.

So that would get the AI to deploy the shipyard if using that certain solution.

So there is absolutely no way AI could use ships effectively?

No engine modification possible for this?

Has any mod tried to do this?

There are two possible solutions:
-Play Red Alert 2 instead.
-Construct a Tiberian Sun mod of Red Alert 2.

And if you say BaseDefense=yes ? The AI would try to deploy it, but the thing is waterbounded then. So it would ignore the normal spacecontroll thing for the AI and deploy it in the water, or not? But if this would work, I don't know if the AI would be able to produce ships....

BTW, with my method the AI should be able to build shipyards properly. However it won't build the ships. Since they do not belong to the AI's side.

aye, in singleplayer games I've had the AI capture my GDI war factory, and build tick tanks out of it :S

wont this not work because when you do make a shipyard, the ships will be built from the war factory and the shipyard disregarded and will proly crash anyway

well if a new class could be coded into the game, then it could probably work. Make a copy of VehicleClass, and make it for ships..
I sugeste this for Hyper's patch, he said he'd look into it

or you get rid of one sides warfactory and completely change it into a shipyard.

like one side having land units and the other naval units.
both still can have hover units.

this could give some nice online strategies.
