Does anyone have any ideas on spawning some AI scouts and making them annoyingly run amok through your base?  I tried spawning some Scouts after about 5 marks and putting them in a group, but OP2 crashes.

Curious...

I have created units (lots of them, in for-s) and immediately given them an order and it worked, so I assume putting them in a group should also work without problems.

I guess that, well... the code you wrote for that part might be relevant?

Yeah, these problems are usually a little easier to diagnose if you post some code.

Yes, except, like I said, I never got past spawning the scouts, so my code is basically:
Code: [Select]
//This occurs after a five-mark delay:
TethysGame::CreateUnit(Unit1, mapScout, ...);
AIScouts.TakeUnit(Unit1);

Attempting to add the Scouts to the group was what caused the crash, so I decided not to waste my time writing code I couldn't use.

I'm glad I was able to use a little exploit I discovered to automate arbitrarily spawned AI combat units!

Edit: Never mind.  I found out what was wrong: a stupid typo...

Off-topic edit: HAX!  I got missions objectives in a saved game to not crash somehow.  I must research how I did it though.  I think it involves updating the mission objective list by completing an objective, or possibly by adding a new one.  I'll get back to you as soon as I can...

That sounds like something Eddy-B once posted about. I think the group needs more initialization before it can accept units. I vaguely remember something about setting a rect. I suppose the units need somewhere to hang out around when they're added to a group.
