You need the file ai.ini (or aifs.ini) which you can get by opening XCC, going to tibsun.mix -> local.mix and right clicking it and clicking in Extract.

If you have FS, go to expand01.mix and extract aifs.ini


Then, take a look at the file which has 4 sections. Task Forces, Script Types, Team Types and AI Trigger Types. Task forces are the units that AI will build, script types are the actions made by the new AI units, Team Types chooses which forces will be hired by AI, what scriot it will use and how the team acts. AI Trigger Types are the conditions to have these teams built. More details at:

Entertainment Explosion

Enjoy it.

well i tried to just change some values but the ais the same...

origional stats::
[073A9510-G]
Name=4 attack cycles
0=4,BIKE
Group=-1

new stats::
[073A9510-G]
Name=8 attack cycles
0=8,BIKE
Group=-1

and i also did alot of other non apc units for both side in the same manner but its still the same...what else do i have to do?

Do you use TS or FS? If it's FS, make your changes at aifs.ini, otherwise it will not change, because most of aifs.ini task forces bypass ai.ini settings...

ooo now it works i forgot about the aifs thanks works now

Hey curlupanddie... Where did you come with that signature? Is it on something or did you just come up with it on the top of your head? Its been puzzling me.

I got my sig from www.godfart.com beebo flashes.

Ok, i wanted to make a new AI trigger for the light, medium, heavy, mammoth tank, MLRS and the rest of those hiddenunits. but the site up top banshee gave me does not work ...can someone who has made a new AI trigger help me?

Dougfunie is working hard to put EE working online, but, erm... let's see what I can do:

New Taskforce:

[NEWTEAM]
Name=light, medium, heavy, MLRS and hiddenunits
0=5,1TNK ;5 light tanks
1=4,2TNK ; 4 Medium Tanks
2=3,3TNK ; 3 Heavy Tanks
3=4,MLRS ; 4 MLRS
4=6,JEEP ; 6 jeeps
Group=-1

Now for script... hmm.... let's hunt everything

[HUNTALL]
Name=Let's hunt, guys.
0=0,1 ; attack enemy
1=11,14 ; do hunt

Now, for a new team type:

[DREAMTEAM-G]
Name=Dream Team of the hidden units
VeteranLevel=1
Loadable=no
Full=no
Annoyance=no
GuardSlower=no
House=GDI ; change this to the correct one.
Recruiter=no
Autocreate=no
Prebuild=no
Reinforce=no
Droppod=no
Whiner=yes
LooseRecruit=no
Aggressive=yes
Suicide=no
Priority=4
Max=2
TechLevel=0
Group=-1
OnTransOnly=no
AvoidThreats=no
IonImmune=no
TransportsReturnOnUnload=no
AreTeamMembersRecruitable=yes
IsBaseDefense=no
OnlyTargetHouseEnemy=yes
Script=HUNTALL
TaskForce=NEWTEAM

and now, for the allmighty AI Trigger Types... prepare your hearts people, this is pure emotion ...

DREAMSTRIKE=Dream Team of hidden units finally strike under GDI flag!,DREAMTEAM-G,<all>,2,-1,<none>,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,60.000000,60.000000,60.000000,1,0,1,0,<none>,1,1,1


Just remember that you need to declare the task force, script type and team type above and all units should belong to GDI. (if any unit doesnt belong to GDI, take them off the task force.

More info at:

http://64.127.246.69/ts/modding.shtml

The site doesnt look good yet because its database is not restored yet, but the tutorials works.

grrrrrrr...I think i messed up something in the trigger types.

the new task force:

The new team type:(i made two for nod and GDI because i have no sides for each yet.)
1032=08923850-G
1033=08924850-G

Remember that both sides should build all these units. Nothing seems to be wrong...

[curlupanddie]

QUICK_EDIT Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) close

both AI triggers seem to be in order?

hmmmm in the team types, instead of having 2 coulnt i just put GDI, NOD?

keep one for each side and yes, they look correct.

[curlupanddie]

QUICK_EDIT Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) close

would the problem be in the internal names? cause i just copied one from a used name but just changed one number. or could i just go 1061=HIDDENUNITS-G or something like that?

What I coded was supposed to be a completely new AI script which keeps the others as well. Depending on which task forces, scripts, team types and ai trigger types you replaced, it can become a problem.

[curlupanddie]

QUICK_EDIT Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) close

i just went through all the new things i added and used the same internal name u gave, and for the team types i made DREAMTEAM-G and DREAMTEAM2-G, instead of making new team types and such, could i use the lightinfentry trigger to build the hidden units taskforce?

You mean light infantry task force, dont you? I heavly dont recommend that. If you see the AI Trigger Type guide in EE tutorials, you will notice that there is one option there that determines the minimum tech level required to the trigger be fired. Tech level 1 only fires trigger that uses teams that have as task forces the light infantries. This would screw up tech level 1. Just make a completely new one as I showed in my first code and that's more than perfect. Just to make clear, there is no need to replace a task force, a script type, a team type or an AI trigger type.

well i re-extracted my AIFS.ini and just made a new unused spot in each. here is what i have now...

when you first gave me the trigger types it said:

and those 2 comas after dream team i added <all> because it had that above most of the others.

DREAMSTRIKE cannot be repeated. Give a new internal name for the Nod AI Trigger Type. Btw, the second (nod one) should have a 2 instead of 1 in the side thing. So, the AI trigger Types would be like this:

DREAMSTRIKE1=Dream Team of hidden units finally strike under GDI flag!,DREAMTEAM-G,,2,-1,<none>,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,60.000000,60.000000,60.000000,1,0,1,0,<none>,1,1,1
DREAMSTRIKE2=Dream Team of hidden units finally strike under GDI flag!,DREAMTEAM2-G,,2,-1,<none>,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000,60.000000,60.000000,60.000000,1,0,2,0,<none>,1,1,1

ARG! i changed the trigger spot with what you gave me. they attack me with the hidden units they start with, but they dont replace them(before they just sat there)im still thinkin the problem could be with those 2 comas...?

You mean they attack you with that only once in the whole game?

[curlupanddie]

QUICK_EDIT Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) close

yep, only the starting hidden units...

instead of making a new trigger would it work if i just moddified one there?
like take the titan one or the reaper one and just add my units in with it?

[0A70E6A0-G]
Name=8 cyborg reapers, 4 med tanks
0=8,REAPER
1=4,2TNK
Group=-1

or

[07ECFB60-G]
Name=16 titans, 4 light tanks
0=16,MMCH
1=4,1TNK
Group=-1

It would not be a problem if:

- your unit belongs to the same side of the triggered unit
- the prerequisite of your unit is the same or higher than the triggered unit


But, attention, excessive ammount of units might make AI take too much time to release the attack, making it become easier, since you would have time to defend yourself against it.

[curlupanddie]

QUICK_EDIT Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) close

so wait, the whole problem could be that i have the AI building too many things as it is? if so should i just delete it and reextract the AIFS then plug in what you gave me?

i dont understand why the AI is not building the new script, i just re-extracted the AIFS, i inserted all the stuff you gave me up top, i made the units buildable for both sides...i dont understand what the problem with this is...
