I don't mind that all I want if for them to use the shipyards, even if they just do what they have been told. Maybe in the future we will be able to create adaptive AI, but until then I will be fine just with the AI I can tell to what to do!!!

[00 Nobody]

Well heres the thing. To make it be really good AI, it has to be a preset side/general. Since this is more or less a melee map, you cannot do this. Besides, you have to do buildlist stuff (this is how to make them build buildings), and since the side may differ, they may try to build in another base.

[THEEVERGOD]

Well the default AI scripts allow them to build within their boundaries, so I shouldn't see why when Dutchygamer releases his tutorial about editing the base-building AI I should not be able to add in for them to build the shipyard. The only problem may be on placement as I can not grantee that they will build it facing the water and so ships may be built on land. And if that happens then the only way to get around that would be to do buildlist stuff which like you said may lead to them wanting to build in other bases. Although first I see what sort of stuff I can do with Dutchygamer tutorial to see if there is a way around that. But since he hasn't released it yet we'll just have to wait. Although I still doing other stuff for the map so I got stuff to fill the time!!!

I have now nearly finished with the ships configuration , but there is just one last thing which I want to do . I want to give the Demolition generals ships the demolition upgrade so they can self-detonate on command, like the rest of the unit but do not know how to as I will have to first put the demolition command button in the command set for the ships which I don't know how to access vehicles command set, I only know how to access building command sets. And then I think the rest is pretty simply after that but if you could, could you give me all that I would need in terms of examples of code.

Thanks in advance ,
TEG .

the commandset system is exactly the same for infantry, vehicles, air units, and structures. If you do this:

weaponset
...
...
SuicideDummyWeapon (or whatever it is)
End

...Commandset
1 = ...
2 = ...
...
14 = (the command for demolition activation)

just look throught the .ini files for PR and go through the demolition general units, you'll find what you need.

[THEEVERGOD]

Now I have tried that but have gotten in a bit of a tangle as I could not get it working using purly that so I added in things that I saw on unit that had the upgrade coming up with the below , although I sure most of it is right I just don't know what bit are wrong !! Here are the three units with all their code that I am tring to add the suicide weapon to:

Do you know whats wrong with it ??

Yes. look at all of his unit's weaponsets. there are 2 or more for all of them. dont use the terrorist weapon, there is a weapon that activates when you use the suicide button. Look through it. I cant tell you the exact name, but i know its there because i recall seeing it.

[THEEVERGOD]

I have looked in the demo generals in and all the units and buildings use this:

Weapon = TERTIARY TerroristSuicideNotARealWeapon

If you know of a different weapon that activates when you use the suicide button then please post it, as I have only found this!!!!

[00 Nobody]

i'll check for it.

EDIT: yes thats the right one.

Edited by 00 Nobody, 09 June 2007 - 08:00 PM.

[THEEVERGOD]

Then why won't the above code work , got an ideas ???

[00 Nobody]

I'm not sure, that should be the right thing for it. You might have to ask more of an expert about this (though since it's a mod and not the regular game, it might be harder to figure out).

[THEEVERGOD]

Alright I got it to work , well sort of anyway . Now hears the problem although it does work I have to have it so the sucide button is always there although if you trigger it before the upgrade it will just kill the unit , no explosion , but after the upgrade there is an explosion . I have give all the boats one command set. Below is the code that works (needs all the rest of the code with the units that I had before, just not the command sets as they all use this one!!!):

CommandSet DemoBoatCommandSet
  1  = Demo_Command_TertiarySuicide
  11 = Command_AttackMove
  13 = Command_Guard
  14 = Command_Stop
End

Now when I try to implement the upgrade thats were it goes pear shaped (or if you did get the pear shaped then that means wrong, ). Now this is the code I have at the moment:

;DemoBoats CommandSet----------------------------------------

CommandSet DemoBoatCommandSet
  11 = Command_AttackMove
  13 = Command_Guard
  14 = Command_Stop
End

CommandSet DemoBoatCommandSetUpgraded
  1  = Demo_Command_TertiarySuicide
  11 = Command_AttackMove
  13 = Command_Guard
  14 = Command_Stop
End

 AddModule ModuleTag_CmdSetUpgGLAD_Override
  Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CmdSetUpgGLAD
	CommandSet = DemoBoatCommandSetUpgraded
	TriggeredBy = Demo_Upgrade_SuicideBomb
   End
  End
 End

Now I don't know whats wrong with this, do you have any idea ? As I have now narrowed it down to the upgrading part instead of the lots of code I had before!!!!

EDIT: FIXED !!!!!!

PREPARE YOURSELFS FOR...............................

PR Mayhem 2 BETA 3!!!!!

Coming tommorow!!!!!

Unfornatually the AI do not use the shipyards and build ships as of yet but if I make another release who knows.

I will give more detail tommorow of what is in the map and the changes, but to keep you on edge, I tell you that this is now more than just a map, it has now become a mod map. All ships have had changes although the china ships do not change with the generals as in the othe sides as the complication of trying to upgrade one ship with many types of weapon came as a problem. But instead as I was not using any upgrades of the battle ship and it was being used for the militia it can now be upgraded by the militia with the spear buster cannon weapon, also the two other ships also get upgraded as well with mor militia type weaponary. NEW sounds NEW effects, SHIPS, and a whole new gameplay.

THIS IS PR Mayhem 2 BETA 3!!!!!

ALSO This will be released in the map sticky along with my first map PR Mayhem, in both zip and rar formats!!!!
