So I want to do the following in BFME2

AI unpack Econ plots
(They do but not as often as I would like )
(After 1 hour they may only unpack 1, not even the one near their base)

So this is my steps

1. AI builds structure - ORC PIT- Works
2. AI checks if Structure exists and build team - ECON1
3.AI sends Team ECON1 to economy_plot_1 unit
4.AI checks if the threat is 0 , if there are no enemies , or the plot is not owned by an ally
5. Econ plot is transferred to that AI player
6. AI builds a lumbermil

It seems to not be working , as far as I can tell
They do build the Orcpit , in Skirmish Mordor,

Help is welcomed
I will keep at it and update this thread

Some more testing
So I can spawn a team MordorfighterHorde near a unit Orcpit ,
But I cannot build the team from the pit?

If unit Orcpit exist , spawn a team near the Orcpit - works
If unit Orcpit exists , start building team FROM the Orcpit - not fictional

How the hell do I get a Structure to build a named team ?

Are you trying to run this in skirmish or campaign mode? If you're running this in BFME 2 then the AI player needs to be PlyrCreeps otherwise the AI's default scripts will override yours.

 

I'll have a go myself and see what if I can get this working.

Yeah I've made a little test map to demonstrate this issue - its a real pain in the arse! The map tells PlyrCreeps to unpack a base, build some buildings and then build a team to capture Economy Plots. When they're factionCivilian they cannot build the bases but will build the teams if provided buildings already, when they're FactionMordor they will build the buildings but will not build the teams.

I don't know how you got the AI to unpack an Economy Plot, but I am still very new to this whole AI scripting business. Sorry if this has just made everything more complicated!

But to reiterate:
- Player has to be PlayerCreeps/PlayerCivilian to preventdefault AI scripts overriding everything you do
- PlayerCreeps/PlayerCivilian are both FactionCivilian so they cannot build any buildings/unpack any plots.
- If you make PlayerCreeps FactionMordor they will unpack the bases but then their default AI will make their own teams and not the ones you specified for them

Thanks , I will download and test more
Any way to switch the Orcpit to player Creeps , switch allegiance of Mordor and Creeps to friendly
Then have player Creeps build my team , do the necessary actions , and switch back ?

I tried but did not work .

I will download your map and see your scripts

I guess recoding AI is what must be done ....which is probably the hardest task I have ever undertaken

At least I game the AI does actually build econ plots on their own , even before all this new scripting
I just wanted a more aggressive build strategy , like how they currently build farms as they start

BFME 2 does AI differently though. Its all .bse files instead of library maps and I have no idea how to edit them!

[MattTheLegoman]

The .bse files can be opened with WB.

 

Just remember to save them as a .bse file in the Bases tab.
