Well, I'm making a futuristic AOD map for online and single player, filled with lasers, robots, androids, and all that futuristic stuff... But there's a problem... [i]My scripts won't work![/i] I've followed another AOD's scripts, but for some reason mine aren't doing [i]anything[/i]. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I took a few screenshots to show you how it's not working. I also put up the map wip here for you to see. This is the map setup: Place your starting position on the bottom-left corner. PLace a vinilla GLA AI on the top rght (for the enemy robots), and place a vanilla USA AI player on the top left (for the Unted Nations troops). I did that, but nothing happens. Please help me, I [i]really[/i] want to make my dream AOD... [ATTACH]1324[/Attach] [ATTACH]1325[/Attach] [ATTACH]1326[/Attach]

You can not use that system to assign units or teams to players once the map contains start positions. that only works in mission maps - maps without start positions. You will have to put ALL units that you want to transfer to the command of player PlyrCivilian, give every single unit a unique unit name and then you will have to transfer every single unit individually to the desired player using the script Player -> Transfer. Put the transfer script in the script folder of PlyrCivilian. as the player name put in player0 - player7. player0 is the human player in skirmish mode or the host of the game in multiplayer mode (=the player in the first player slot). player1 is the player in the second player slot, and so on. This means you will ALWAYS have to put the players into the right lobby slots. i recommend to use slots 1-4 (player0-payer3) for the human players, slot 5 (player4) for USA, slot 6 (player5) for GLA. It will be a lot of work, but there is no easy work-around for this. also make an individual script for every player. one transfer script for player0, one for player1, one for player2 and so on. you will need that later. tell me if you can get that done by yourself.

Firt, sorry for the uber-late reply..

Yes, I can get it done, but it's going to take [i]forever[/i] because I plan to have a LOT of units for the United Nations (vanilla USA AI) already on the map when it starts, and several of the civilian buuildings included... Same goes with the Rouge Robots (van GLA enemy AI), there's going to be an insaine amount of defense at thier spawn so you can just spawn cap them... Oh my gosh....... Thank you soo much, Mixery. I can't express how much I appreciate you helping out. [grin] I hope you'll play the map when (if) it's done. Thanks, Mixery! [sunglasses] [+1]

Yes.. the developers of the Worldbuilder did a shiit job.
