For my map that i am making, 4 human or Ai players start out with 1 Overlord tank.

The 5th player ( skirmish GLA) is the enemy. Their units are spawned around the map at a certain time.

I cannot get the "enemy" to attack the human/Ai players, they just sit there.

Same thing with players 1-4.

How can i get the Ai to automatically attack the "enemy" (and vise versa) when they spawn?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I'm not sure how to help with that, but I can tell you that any time you add script to any scirmish ai other than the civi side, all other ai controled side stop working normaly and do nothing. Most likely you will need to edite each and every sides scripts to get them to work... I think that will be a huge task indeed!

I'm not as cute as I look!
I'm still learning!

works fine for me.

maybe when you create a game with the map you forget to put in the GLA computer player as enemy and/or into lobby slot 5?

The only problem is, can the players 1-4 hunt the "enemy" as well?

I would like this because people who cannot play online can have an ally to play with.

oh wait..

you are talking about computer controlled allies?

thats not possible in an easy way. you would have to script them entirely by yourself.

you COULD make it so that a player gets all the overlords tanks if he is alone.

Hmm, i never thought of that, it would be better, since the AI would go directly towards the target, instead of staying in a group (which is a good strategy for this map).

I think i will go with that idea, how do we start?

seems like you are not even going to try to get it done by yourself, are you? i hoped you would at least try it but meh

so what do you want to do now?

transfer the units to other human players or get the AI to work as teammates?

SUPER-G (beware cocky fuke rage sentence ahead) you are not going to get anywhere unless you show at least a little self-initiative. a time will come when you are on your own and you have to get things done by yourself. i know its a very fine service when you just have to ask me and i will script basically anything for you but as i said: this wont get you anywhere and is quite boring for me too 😉

it is a good and important step for you to try to create more and more difficult things in your maps but the problem is you are not the one who is taking the burden.

for example: I am playing OQ2 offline, instead of me having 1 overlord tank and the other 3 being controlled by the AI or being neutral, the would get transfered to me (aka player_0)

As for me not taking self-initiative, your'e right, i should do more scripting by myself. For awhile i have been playing other games, i would just come log on here a couple of times, and i havent touched OQ2 for a week, but i totally understand😄

PS: Do you think that im pretty demanding?

so well..

now this map does the following:

Does player0 exist?
Yes -> Transfer Overlord 1 to player0
No -> (nothing, because he should exist since he is the host)

Does player1 exist?
Yes -> Transfer Overlord 2 to player1
No -> Transfer Overlord 2 to player0

Does player2 exist?
Yes -> Transfer Overlord 3 to player2
No -> Transfer Overlord 3 to player0

Does player3 exist?
Yes -> Transfer Overlord 4 to player3
No -> Transfer Overlord 4 to player0

yes its that simple.

by the way: works in multiplayer too if 1 or 2 or 3 players are missing. the host gets the missing tanks. Overlord Quest Online Fix.zip (87kb) downloaded 9 time(s).

the trigger area 'game' has to be created by you and should cover the entire map.
