I have been trying to get the AI to build the LOSAT tank in FRITZ'S mod.

I followed the tutorial on Basics of adding a new unit but i keep gettingYOU ARE VICTORIOUS after the game starts.

I downloaded the fixed SkirmishScripts.scb) but i still get the same results.

I opened the COMMANDSET.INI to make sure it was in the Factory CommandSet and it is.

This is how it appears in the COMMANDSET.INI


; * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

; * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

CommandSet AmericaWarFactoryCommandSet
1 = Command_ConstructAmericaTankCrusader
2 = Command_ConstructAmericaTankLOSAT
3 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleTomahawk
4 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleHumvee
5 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleMedic
6 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehiclePaladin
7 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleSentryDrone
8 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleAvenger
9 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleMicrowave
10 = Command_UpgradeAmericaSentryDroneGun
11 = Command_UpgradeAmericaTOWMissile
13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
14 = Command_Sell
End

I have to idea why the AI build the Paladin,Avenger andMicrowave tanks but not the Losat.

I also have been trying to get it to build the DEVASTATOR TANK but i get the same results.

What am i doing wrong? :laugh:

Look at the existing Teams of America's Attack and just put the "new" Unit in there, this is what i did and the AI builds it ;) I never encountered any Problems, so you shouldn't either :laugh:

I suggest, again, (this is actually my favorite suggestion) that you check your scripts with the Script Debugger. See which ones trigger, sometimes you are lucky and get a clue..

Have you changed anything about the MultiplayerScripts.scb?

No i didn't change anything Mithril, since this is my first time working with a script and i never have played Multi.

What is the scriptdebug command and i don't have a Generals shortcut because i have it installed on my desktop so i just open the folder and start the game.

Also i don't like to post twice but how and where do i edit my posts?

To edit you need to be registered. The script debugger is a DLL you can download from GenDev. I recommend adding a shortcut, since you can send several useful command lines to the game.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

I did register...twice,and i still didn't get anything in my e-mail.

I added the Losat tank to 3 different attack teams and all the units that are in those team the AI builds...except for the losat tank.

I'm playing it in HARD mode.

I'd check your junkmail filters. Otherwise, give me the name of one account, and I can resend the e-mail, or possibly activate it for you.

You're playing in hard? Are you sure that you have made the teams for the hard difficulty then..?


MM, there seems to be a problem about activation. I changed my mail adress earlier and it never sent me the activation mail too - D had to activate it for me..

If I had to guess it has something to do with the mail server. I don't know if my redirect account is still working, and I got a very odd e-mail from myself today, so I think something is not right with the server right now.

^If you want me to understand that, please try to make it a bit simpler :p

Can you fire it yourself? Is this an AI related question?

I don't know how to make the "Hard Teams" Mithril.

But i did try it out in Easy mode and it didn't build it.

I did realize that the reason the other mod unit is being built is because Fritz simply replaced the tomahawk with his unit.

When i play,i can build the new units but the AI won't.

Guest Nr. 1 :

You can make hard teams by modifying the appropriate ones. In ZH there should be a team called "USA H 1ST Wave Rush". The "H" stands for Hard.


Guest Nr. 2 :

You wrote

"I can buy it for general points, icons are ok, but i can fire it


I assume you meant

"I can buy it for general points, icons are ok, but i can't fire it


:ninja:

That is an INI problem. You need to modify the SpecialPower.ini too.....

One thing i forgot to mention Mithril,I followed the "BASICS OF ADDING A UNIT".

Should i have done the "ADDING A NEW UNIT" tutorial first and then done the "Basic" second?

Also, i just don't want to add the new Losat unit to USA only, i also want to add the Devastator tank to the Nuke General.

Basicly i want the AI to build all the new units that belong to their proper factions :ninja:
