Second Ai Colony

Set up a new Building Group once the new SF is running.  Make sure to assign it ConVecs and a build list.

[Ecke100]

Here is my code.

Code: [Select]

Unit ConVec3, ConVec4;

TethysGame::CreateUnit(ConVec3, mapConVec, LOCATION(15+31, 113-1), 1, mapCommandCenter, 3);
x.DoSetLights(1);
TethysGame::CreateUnit(ConVec4, mapConVec, LOCATION(17+31, 113-1), 1, mapStructureFactory, 3);
x.DoSetLights(1);

First, they wait in the main base

Code: [Select]

buildGroup2 = CreateBuildingGroup(Player[1]);
buildGroup2.SetRect(MAP_RECT(12+31, 108-1, 28+31, 114-1));
buildGroup2.TakeUnit(ConVec3);
buildGroup2.TakeUnit(ConVec4);

Then after, they will go to the next area.

Code: [Select]

SCRIPT_API void Base2()
{
    buildGroup2b = CreateBuildingGroup(Player[1]);
    buildGroup2b.SetRect(MAP_RECT(185+31, 19-1, 194+31, 28-1));
    buildGroup2b.TakeAllUnits(buildGroup2);
    buildGroup2b.RecordBuilding(LOCATION(191+31, 23-1), mapCommandCenter, mapNone);
    buildGroup2b.RecordBuilding(LOCATION(191+31, 26-1), mapStructureFactory, mapNone);
    buildGroup2b.RecordBuilding(LOCATION(197+31, 22-1), mapVehicleFactory, mapNone);
}

They build Command Center and Structure Factory, but ConVecs will not record Structure Factory and build next building on the list.

[Sirbomber]

I don't trust TakeAllUnits.  Try doing that manually somehow.  Also make sure to remove the units from the old group first.

On second thought, why are you even making a "group 2b"?  Just change group 2 as needed.

[Ecke100]

Someone who has been running the AI ​​to build more separate bases?

[Ecke100]

Now i got it, it works now at last!

Code: [Select]

SD.buildGroup2 = CreateBuildingGroup(Player[1]);
SD.buildGroup2.SetRect(MAP_RECT(12+31, 108-1, 28+31, 114-1));
SD.buildGroup2.TakeUnit(SD.ConVec3);
SD.buildGroup2.TakeUnit(SD.ConVec4);
SD.buildGroup2.SetDeleteWhenEmpty(1); 

CreateTimeTrigger(1, 1, 1000, "Base2a");
CreateTimeTrigger(1, 1, 13000, "Base2");

SD.CheckSecondSF = CreateTimeTrigger(1, 0, 10, "AI_SFCheck");

SCRIPT_API void Base2a()
{
	Unit ConVec3 ,ConVec4, SF2;
SD.buildGroup2b = CreateBuildingGroup(Player[1]);
SD.buildGroup2b.SetRect(MAP_RECT(185+31, 19-1, 194+31, 28-1));
SD.buildGroup2b.RecordBuilding(LOCATION(191+31, 23-1), mapCommandCenter, mapNone);
SD.buildGroup2b.RecordBuilding(LOCATION(191+31, 26-1), mapStructureFactory, mapNone);
SD.buildGroup2b.TakeAllUnits(SD.buildGroup2);
SD.buildGroup2b.TakeUnit(SD.SF2);
}

SCRIPT_API void Base2()
{
	Unit ConVec3 ,ConVec4, SF2;
SD.buildGroup2c = CreateBuildingGroup(Player[1]);
SD.buildGroup2c.SetRect(MAP_RECT(185+31, 19-1, 194+31, 28-1));
SD.buildGroup2c.TakeAllUnits(SD.buildGroup2b);
SD.buildGroup2c.TakeUnit(SD.SF2);
SD.buildGroup2c.RecordBuilding(LOCATION(196+31, 22-1), mapVehicleFactory, mapNone);
}

SCRIPT_API void AI_SFCheck()
{
    // Let's use an enumerator
    Unit SF2;
    PlayerBuildingEnum unitEnum(1, mapNone);
    while (unitEnum.GetNext(SF2) )
    {
        // Check if this is the unit we want (make sure it's an SF and in the right spot)
        if ( (SF2.GetType() == mapStructureFactory) && (SF2.Location().x == 191+31) && (SF2.Location().y == 26-1) )
        {
            // We've found it!  Record it and destroy this trigger.
            SD.SF2 = SF2;
            SD.CheckSecondSF.Destroy();
        }
    }
}

You need to Create a group after the StructureFactory is done with a TimeTrigger.

[Hidiot]

What?

You should be able to create a group anywhere before first being used. Only the record unit part needs to assign a handle to an actually existing entity.

[Ecke100]

Here is my map Beta 1.1

[Ecke100]

Map file

[Highlander]

I get an error message when trying your game - "Game could not initialize"

[Flashy]

Same with me.

[Savant_Ace]

+1 (Could not Initialize)

[Ecke100]

Can not understand why you get the error, did not find anything wrong yet

[Hooman]

The mapName field of the DescBlock points to the string "bad allocation". There are also similar problems with the levelDesc and techTreeName fields not pointing to valid strings.
 

[Ecke100]

I can play the map with no problems.

[Savant_Ace]

That much seems obvious. Try making a fresh installation of OP2 in a different directory and installing your map there, then see if you run into the same problem that we do.

[Ecke100]

Now i have installed on a another computer and it work.

Note: I use (Outpost 2 Version 1.35 Beta 2) and when you download the map, remove the underscore in Bana_2.map and write it to Bana 2.map (Scenario 2.map in English)

Sorry i dont try test download my map from this site, i should have seen it but i dont.

[Ecke100]

What?

You should be able to create a group anywhere before first being used. Only the record unit part needs to assign a handle to an actually existing entity.

Has found a way that you meant, a code that works that way, thx to Sirbomber, Flashy and more. from various topics i got a combination of codes that works.  

Here is the solution.

Code: [Select]

SCRIPT_API void Red_SFCheck()
{
    // Let's use an enumerator
    IUnit RSF1;
    PlayerBuildingEnum unitEnum(2, mapNone);
    while (unitEnum.GetNext(RSF1) )
    {
        // Check if this is the unit we want (make sure it's an SF and in the right spot)
        if ( (RSF1.GetType() == mapStructureFactory) && (RSF1.Location().x == 28+31) && (RSF1.Location().y == 31-1) )
              {
            	switch(RSF1.GetBusy())
                {
                    case ctMoDevelop:
                    case ctMoUnDevelop:
                    case ctMoDismantle:
                        break;
                default:
                // We've found it!  Record it and destroy this trigger.
                SD.RSF1 = RSF1;
                CreateTimeTrigger(1, 1, 50, "RedBase1");
                SD.CheckFirstSF.Destroy();
            }
        }
    }
}
