How do I make the AI in an AOD map to start with some upgrades by default? Like scorpion rockets, ap rockets etc?

---

if
true
then
grant upgrade '???' to player'???'

---

ok but I can't find that entry anywhere

---

is this your first AOD map?

---

Pretty much, and yes, I've read and seen a almost every tutorial about it.. I understand that I can make the upgrade work by making the SkirmishGLA use the commandbuttons to purschase if the building that host the upgrade in present (spawned on the map)... I just wonder if there is another way.

---

That way is terrible.
Find the grant upgrade script command.
I think its under player>upgrade but I'm at work so I cant check

---

I see nothing with that entry, the only thing inside Player related to upgrades is the "Have AI Player ??? built this upgrade: Upgrade ???

---

I use it quite a lot I'm certain it exists.
I'll check myself but I know its there somewhere.

---

Here:

---

That is for sciences, it doesn't work on upgrades.

---

Sorry wrong one:

---

They still need the building for that, the only grantupgrade is through coding, and that will affect all players.. I'll stick with what I have

---

you could (with some time and care) create a building in a map.ini which when built grants upgrades for their player and place it on the map under the control of the AI

---

Why don't you place the upgrading building off the play area and have the AI use 'Use Command Button Ability' to get the upgrades, just provide the money for the AI for it?

As in real map is actually larger than the play area.

---

you can just have buil;dings off the map you dont have to put them on the map and decrease the play area

---

"I understand that I can make the upgrade work by making the SkirmishGLA use the commandbuttons to purschase if the building that host the upgrade in present (spawned on the map)", this was me, 4 days ago, and this is how it stands in the map, as I said.

---

i still think (with time and patience) one could make a map.ini which has a unit which auto-upgrades
