AIPs...?

[Red Devil]

Is there a RecyclerEnemy path point on the map?  If there isn't, the recycler won't spawn and the AIP won't run.

[Red Devil]

Is it a custom map?

If so, is it running the BZC dll or the stock dll?

[Commando]

In pb4, provideNames are critical.  In pb4a, the game should work without the provideName being in the odf.

Post the plan and post your odf.

[General BlackDragon]

Hmm, Seems like after i deploy my rec and SA1 aip kicks in, THEN it starts actually doing stuff....

hmph...

BZC DLL.

BZC Map.

BZC Everything.

[General BlackDragon]

New issue.

if the player chooses a diff recy varient for cpu team, it seems to die.

looks like the aip is looking for odf "sbrecy" when aiteam has deployed a "sbrecy_gbd"

How do i make it check provide names for such a "Exists" requirement?

[Red Devil]

The stock DLL deploys the AI recycler and everyting hinges on that, so it looks like the BZC dll needs to deploy it too.

sbrecy_gbd.odf needs a a provideName of "sbrecy" and use planConditionClassProvided# = true

[General BlackDragon]

BZC Recy is a scav, u know.

And ya. once SA1/3 kicks in, the recy deploys. Wonder why it doesnt do it before though...

Will these commands use provide names as well?

scavClass = "svmuf"

buildType1 = "sbspow"

targetType = "abslf"

[Red Devil]

That's why I said the BZC dll needs to deploy it.

buildType and targetType will.

[General BlackDragon]

Is there any way to make the AIP look for "If player has Xunit within X meters of Airecy, do blahblah"?

[Red Devil]

That's the DefendArea plan.

[General BlackDragon]

oh? you'll have to teach me how that works then...

another question, is there an aip way to make the ai send some ships to "patrol" a pathpoint?

[Red Devil]

This is a DA plan I am using in Uler atm.  The targetType and planConditioNclass are both entries in provideName sections.


[Plan48]
planType = "DefendArea"
planPriority = 940
CheckProvides = true
planCondition = "Exists"
planConditionClass = "responder3"
planCompare = ">="
planConditionCount = 1
planConditionClassProvided = true
targetType = "biometal"
searchRadius = 200
MaxUnits = 3


No AIP command for patrolling yet.  You can use the Explore planType as a crude version of it though.

[General BlackDragon]

explore???

also, i have no idea what im doing 

What should priority be? i assume it must go in order from top to bottom?

Or can i use it to make AI concentrate on more things then others? What...


Also, when using notepad ++, and i insert a plan in the middle of the aip, is there a way to make it auto shuffle the plan numbers down? 

[Red Devil]

Wish there was.  Just look at some existing AIP's to see how it's done.

[General BlackDragon]

k, and just so its clear,

planConditionClass# = ""
TargetType# = ""

use provide names, while

buildtype= ""
attackType = ""

use odf names?
