To expand on Gambit..

 

1) Create a text file in your Soulstorm main folder

2) Call it autoexec.lua

3) Open it as a text file and add and save this in:

Spoiler

run = setsimrate(100)
run = fog_toggle()
run = Cpu_ControlLocalPlayer()

bind("F1","setsimrate(4)")
bind("F2","setsimrate(8)")
bind("F3","setsimrate(30)")
bind("F4","setsimrate(60)")
bind("F5","playai()")
bind("F6","playhuman()")
bind("F7","disableai()")
bind("F8","enableai()")
bind("F9","FOW_RevealAll()")


function playai()
run = Cpu_ControlLocalPlayer();
end

function playhuman()
local player = World_GetPlayerAt(Tut_GetLocalPlayerIndex())
run = W40k_SwitchToPlayer( player, true );
end

function disableai()
run = Cpu_EnableAll(false);
end

function enableai()
run = Cpu_EnableAll(true);
end

bind("shift+tab", "toggle_screenmode()")
screenmode = 0
function toggle_screenmode()
if screenmode == 0 then
taskbar_hide()
message_hide()
ingame_select_ui_toggle()
ingame_stats_toggle()
screenmode = 1
else
taskbar_show()
message_show()
ingame_select_ui_toggle()
ingame_stats_toggle()
screenmode = 0
end
end

Hit F5 for the AI to control YOU or the faction you are currently watching or F6 to go back to your own control.

 

Note the main sections right at the top where it auto-runs with all AI control, game speed is an insane 100 rate, and whole map is revealed. This is what we use for pure AI testing.

 

Sometimes, though, you need to disabled the AI to test your faction in your troubleshooting hence the option to disable AI also in those other bindings.

Thud, I was also using the playai() and playhuman(), but I suggest you should replace them both, with the switch_player_control() I wrote in the previous page, because:

1] It's simpler, using ONLY ONE button for both operations. Toggling is a far better approach, just as brother requested.

2] No more console warnings, in case you accidentally press the wrong button.

 

After all, if the current player is AI, you will want to play it yourself. And if you are playing it yourself, you will want the AI to take over.

 

Try it, for me the two other functions are history.

[thudo]

I'll give that a shot fine sir!

[ICT]

I've taken care of that.

 

That above is a spam! Link goes to viruses! Delete the post! Ban the user!

[thudo]

Thank you! Was about to kill it also but you woke up earlier than I!

[thudo]

Using the Toggle? Otherwise, AI is always pre-set to a specific skill level so no clue why it would revert. That makes no sense.

[thudo]

Indeed.. it should be very rare but yes I have noticed it from time to time.

[Gambit]

AI toggle doesn't apply...

Strange. This should not be the case!

Even if Strongholds SCaR disables the AI of the player (which should NOT), the AI toggle should re-enable it.

Try using my autoexec.lua, start the game in -dev mode, and press F5 during the Enemy Stronghold game (or whenever/wherever).

[Gambit]

... I do not know what to say.

This should NOT be happening.

Sorry brother but I do not have the time to test it.

[thudo]

Does the F5 toggle work on standard skirmish maps? If it does not, then its something on your end. If it does but NOT in the Campaign.. yeah no clue there: never knew you could take over Campaign AI.. thought that might actually break the SP game.

[Gambit]

As far as I recall, the Cpu_ControlLocalPlayer() should work even for the Campaign.

I made some campaign tests, and to speed up the process I was using F5 to most matches.

So it SHOULD be working...

[Gambit]

Whoa...!
How can this be? I am sorely tempted to look into it

[Gambit]

...Beats me...

And so far, my schedule is hectic so I didn't have time to see into it.
