The Uler for PB4a

[Red Devil]

You have the recycler or factory build crates right before you build a craft.

You have to create special crates that are built by the recycler and factory so that they will be built by them. 

You have to be careful which crates are built when so that the requirements for each crate are met beforehand OR you can remove all the requirements from those crates so that you can have the AIP's build them at any time (much simpler).

Like this:

[Plan630]
planPriority = 890
planType = "BuildLoop"
MinTtlScrap = 60
MaxTtlScrap = 999
MinCurPower = 0
planCondition = "NotExists"
planConditionClass = "ubfact"
planCompare = ">="
planConditionCount = 1
buildType1 = "apvulcanrecy"
buildCount1 = 1
buildType2 = "uvscoutcpu"
buildCount2 = 1
buildType3 = "apatgmrecy"
buildCount3 = 1
buildType4 = "uvscoutcpu"
buildCount4 = 1
buildType5 = "apscarrecy"
buildCount5 = 1
buildType6 = "uvscoutcpu"
buildCount6 = 1
buildType7 = "apscarrecy"
buildCount7 = 1
buildType8 = "uvscoutcpu"
buildCount8 = 1
buildType9 = "apmgrecy"
buildCount0 = 1
buildType10 = "uvscoutcpu"
buildCount10 = 1
buildType11 = "apspsgrecy"
buildCount11 = 1
buildType12 = "uvscoutcpu"
buildCount12 = 1
loopDelay = 100

It'll be in the next zipper, probably within the hour.

I'm renaming all the Uler powerups to start with 'u'.  Oh, the tedium!

Harumph...

The factory crates are being built by the recycler for some reason:

1313.10 180-Plan570-BuildLoop: Condition MY commbunker EXISTS was satisfied... (1 >= 1) Condition MY factory EXISTS was satisfied... (1 >= 1) Condition MY commbunker EXISTS was satisfied... (1 >= 1) Condition MY factory EXISTS was satisfied... (1 >= 1) No builder found in team list or prerequisites for upplaslfact; defaulting to recycler...
... Not satisfied.

The crates have the requirement for the factory in them:


requireCount = 1
requireName1 = "ubfact"
requireText1 = "Build Cleopatra"


and ubfact exists on team 5:

cfg=            ubfact seqno= 11953 team=5 pos=  -64.00    22.43  -672.00


I've tried BuildMinimums, too.

Me tired, go bed.

Fixed it.  Seems the Factory needs a buildItem entry for it, which may be due to it being a crate and not a craft.  Going to see if using a generic item will work too.

[Red Devil]

My bad.  I had also added [CraftClass] to the crate to see if that affected it.  Seems it only checks the provides entries if it is a craft, even though it says it checked it in the log.

Edit: I had also added consClass and planConditionClassProvided to the AIP, but that had no effect either.

I'm trying updating uweapon.odf...

[Red Devil]

That worked.

I improved the Uler vs Uler some more today.

I now have the turrets getting Vulcan and Spitfire guns, tanks getting Vengeance guns, etc. 

Found a way to protect a scrap field too. 

Added some DefendArea and ClearArea plans.

They're just vicious now.

Had a big black bear in the back yard today.  A true Gentle Ben.

Had a big black bear in the back yard today.  A true Gentle Ben.

...Right.

[Red Devil]

Actually, he was up on the deck looking in the screen door and one of my dogs alerted.  It looked like he actually sighed and then walked off the deck and down into the raspberry bushes.

Okay, back on topic.  I was able to condense a big Match section down to 3 parts by using provide entries.

Each unit has an 'enemy' provideName and each defender has a 'responder#' provideName:


[Match]

targetType1 = "enemy"
attackType1_1 = "responder1"
attackType1_2 = "responder1"
attackType1_3 = "responder1"

targetType2 = "enemy"
attackType2_1 = "responder1"
attackType2_2 = "responder1"

targetType3 = "enemy"
attackType3_1 = "responder1"

I'm defending scrap fields with turrets by using plans like this:

[Plan670]
planType = "DefendArea"
planPriority = 910
CheckProvides = true
planCondition = "Exists"
planConditionClass = "responder2"
planCompare = ">="
planConditionCount = 1
planConditionClassProvided = true
targetType = "npscr1"
searchRadius = 200

[Plan680]
planType = "DefendArea"
planPriority = 900
CheckProvides = true
planCondition = "Exists"
planConditionClass = "responder2"
planCompare = ">="
planConditionCount = 1
planConditionClassProvided = true
targetType = "npscr2"
searchRadius = 200
