Upgrade Project: Auto-Warpin

posted on March 21st, 2011, 8:19 pm

Just another project question, any help is very useful,

Does anyone know how to make the a.i. use the warpin WITHOUT a AIP list(the build list)?

Yeah, they just automatically replace them and they only call the ships to the warpinstation.

The commands you would need are:

replacementInstantAI
replacementInstantCycle

Those are what are in use in FO as far as I understand it, as Warp-In is not in the AIP list (other than the structure of course).

About that..... well...... the station doesn't exsist, its what you'd call a beacon, an invisable pod the brings npc units to random units [i][places/i] on the map, quite Genuis actualy.......

The lines you are looking for have nothing to do with AIP's.  These are in the fed_warpin odf's.   

The literal way the FO warpin works is, if you are human, you select a spot on the map at which an invisible trigger is placed.  From that trigger, ships are automatically warpinreplaced to its position. 

If you Are AI, the weapon that humans use to select a place for the trigger is just an instantreplaceweapon that replaces the trigger near whatever launched it.  From there it is the same as a human's player.

Hope that helps.
