Aimd Bug

weak · Civilian **Joined**: 24 Jun 2024

I decided to make a new aimd.ini file, but the different factions don't act as intended. The Allied and Yuri don't attack, and just makes defensive teams, Soviet just attacks, they don't make defense, and just spams miners. Also, when they make taskforces , they sometimes just goes standby at their base and not attack. I don't know what happened, but it happened when I made the ground attackers

these are the team and aitrigger for the ground attack

These are the guards

these are miners for allied and soviet

I also attached rules and aimd files

so miners are actually handled independently from the AI system (see the related keys in rules.ini to adjust them) and setting miners as teams
in the AI triggers will, as you can see, confuse the AI and cause it to keep spamming miners.

I see also that the miners are set as base defense teams, and that the other base defense teams look like this

Code:

[01000001-G]
Name=GuardAllied
0=20,SREF
1=30,JUMPJET
2=3,AMCV
3=15,FV
Group=-1

so like base defense teams are teams that have a few functions; one function is that the AI builds them before it 'makes an enemy' and starts producing attack
teams. another function is that the AI will always have a minimum number of defense teams (again see rules for the relevant tags) before it builds any attack
teams, meaning the AI wont function at all if it cant build enough of these teams. another (optional) function is to have them act like a pool team by setting priority
to 1 and recruitable= to yes

so whats wrong with that team there? first of all its too big; that many units in a single team will make the units unable to 'group up' since they cant get in grouping
distance and therefore cant follow any scripts or do anything really. second of all, its too advanced; these are teams that the AI should start belting out as soon as
it builds its basic factories and have ready before its tech tree is developed. if you want advanced units in the pool teams, then make separate pool teams with the
battle lab or something as the prerequisite. third of all it has MCVs in it; if you want mcv's you should make a separate team for it because they arent going to know
how to deploy when part of a bigger team. in fact, the factory clone bug applies to buildingtypes also, so get ready to see some memes if they ever do deploy.

Thanks for the answer, but I have some questions

How do I fix the miner issue?

Also, in the stuck taskforce, do I make them smaller or is there another way to make them not stuck?

as the handling for miners is coded elsewhere, just remove any miner related teams from AI.ini entirely

the best way to fix the stuck taskforces is just to make them an appropriate size. you can also adjust the
maximum 'grouping' radii in rules.ini to facilitate bigger taskforces but large taskforces have various downsides
you are better going with smaller teams. you can adjust the team creation rate instead (via teamdelays in rules)
if you want the AI to build more teams faster.

Thank you! It's working properly now
