hi there, i am makeing a simple 3 vs 5 compstomp. i need to know how to put docks down so enemy ai will use them all effectively. maybe some tips or ticks would be nice.
thank you.

what do you mean with docks? :S

Supply dock, AKA the supply depot, I think.

Any tricks are going to be related to the combat zone, player perimeters, etc. Not an area I've ever bothered with.

sorry ment 'suply docks'.

It is best to place them where the Ai's "stuff" won't be disturbed.
for example:

*On the border of the outside of the map, in which the players's starting positions are. There, the Ai can build their base without the supply docks in the way.

*You can also place them around the map in various spots, so the players and the Ai will have to defend these outer supply docks to keep the money flowing😎 👍 (unless there are oil derrick captured...)

*You can also use the SupplyPileSmall and place them in other spots on the map, they are worth $3500 (i think). These are MUCH smaller and worth much less than docks or depots.

PS.

When you place the docks, they are automatically worth $30,000.
If you want them to be worth more:

1. Give them a name

2. Using this script:
Actions if true > Unit > Set cash value of warehouse.
You can set the money to almost any value!

3. Do this for all supply docks, and your'e set.

Uncheck 'deactivate upon sucess' and then change it to evaluate every second instead of every frame, and it'll have an infinite amount of supplies.

---

Very cool, i will have to add that in one of my maps!

---

Or set its value to $1 all the time to troll people 😁

The idea I have with this map, is to limit all "supply drop zone", "black markets" and "hackers" to AI only. All The supply docks are already infinite on cash. Cos I hate players that's just "build" loads of money then use swarming to kill everything. Also limited all air units to AI as well but the compinsate for this all player have access to the normal "gla", "usa" and "china" forces (- air of course). Gla upgrades are still avalible form other buildings as black markets are not avalible. Want people to use strategy not cash to win.
