I didn't receive an inbox either. Was my thread deleted on purpose? Or what happened?

Strange... yes looks deleted to me. Everything else is still there. There was some spam stuff, maybe they accidently removed your topic alongside that. You should send a private message to some forum mod/admin.

Yeah, it's possible that I or someone else accidentially deleted your topic. I'm not sure if it's possible to recover it--you'll have to ask MicScoTho.

Well I sent a pm to him. I was able to resolve some things and I wanted to update about the map scripts: 1. I used "remove command button ConstructAmericaDozer from AmericaCommandCenter" and since the computer is America faction it cannot build a dozer. Thankfully this reduced a lot of lag in my map. The computer won't build so this works out perfectly! 2. Give the computer a lot of money so they won't resign at start. 3. To detect if a computer is playing I just check the currency the player has. It will always have more than what I give it. For example, I give all players 1,000,000 and any difficulty for the computer will add more currency to that number. However this doesn't happen at the load or first frame, it happens after 0.01 timer seconds. I tried every frame with false to disable the script. Resolve for the AOD frontline why the area checking didn't work: 1. GLASkirmish folder has script (active every frame, and spawn outside the border by waypoint so no player can see it), spawn GLASkirmish glainfantryrebel, deal damage to kill the same unit. 2. Moved the area checking scripts to GLASkirmish folder. Now works, but somehow it doesn't work without the first script? Glitch I assume? My Hide and Seek Map is moving along nicely. For certain there is no way to give a scud timer to a computer player is there? I tried everything I could think of. But spawning a ScudStorm for the computer player doesn't show a timer and if the computer has another building transferred, it just sells the building. I believe I tried long ago to remove the sell building button and that didn't work. But I also believe back then the button name had a square in front of it making it not work in the script. I will have to retry. I just find it annoying to see the ScudStorm timer disappear after 5 seconds. :(

Ok... I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I need to reset areas to check them properly but the script used to do that requires spawning a unit and killing it. If I have a spawn and kill script in PlayerCivilian folder then I cannot have any scripts in the SkirmishAmerica or else the game has a serious error. If I have the script in the SkirmishAmerica, it will only work when computers are playing. So what do I do? I cannot add a seeker player as computer unless I can spawn the ScudStorm for them. This means I have to avoid the serious error issue but then the game won't work correctly because the areas never reset either. Pulling my hair out! Edit: Just noticed I have 1235 scripts, still adding... didn't think I had that many! HOLY :)

I could reproduce that error in a test map and have successfully tested this: [code] * IF * Player 'SkirmishAmerica' has Not Equal To 1 unit or structure of type 'AmericaCommandCenter' * THEN * Spawn Unit 'asd' of type 'AmericaInfantryMissileDefender' on Team 'teamPlyrCivilian' at waypoint Waypoint 'asd' Unit 'asd'is dealt a lethal amount of damage. [/code] So just put a fix script into the folder of the comp too and modify the one in the PlyrCivilian folder like that. And I have no idea where that crash comes from..

Ok, this morning I organized the scripts that check area of a player. Remember Mixery I had player7area5 then player7area4, etc. Well I created new folders, GivePlayer0AreaUnits and inside the scripts are organized back as player0area1, player0area2, etc. So I deleted the old folder it was called something like StartingScriptsMustBeTriggered. Then I deactivated a bunch of scripts and after running the map, re-active all the scripts I deactivated. Now the crazy thing is, I didn't delete or add a script and guess what??? The counter went from displaying 2 back to 1 and all my scripts were true statements again. I am not seeing a glitch now. So strange but how could re-organizing and/or deactivating and reactivating scripts fix the counter glitch? It seems the frames were out of whack because statements like, If player0 in area1 then giveplayer0area1units were not working but now it does? So strange but it is working without the script of spawning a unit and then killing it. [h]Edit:[/h] Ok, now it works fine IF I do not add a script to the AmericaSkrimish folder. Even if the scripts are deactivated, the counter display glitch comes back. Also some of my other scripts do not work during this problem. For instance my script that gives everyone 1,000,000 dollars fails to execute and it is a simple script active with every frame, deactivate itself upon success, inside is IF TRUE, player0 gets 1,000,000 player1 gets 1,000,000 etc. I tried your solution but the counter fails to return as displaying 1. I just see 2 the entire time. This issue is pretty serious as it makes other scripts fail to execute. I am getting very mad. One issue to the next.

Did you think about putting all the scripts into one comp folder and have one Idle comp spot on your map (like in aod)? I guess that would fix most of the issues.

ZaCkOX use a comp that always is required for the map to work, as in aod. Stop puttings scripts into both PlyrCivilian and Skirmish folders. It only confuses the game. For example use a GLA comp for the basic setup and put in a USA comp for each hidder. Stop using PlyrCivilian for scripting.

I didn't understand why it glitched but it makes sense now. I tried all I could to avoid the glitch but it seems to think there is 2 player civilians or it just activates twice. Anyway, I am very stubborn and I didn't want a computer spot so I spent the last few days working hard on adjusting and moving scripts. I got it working without adding a computer spot and just removed the timer display script. Instead I use brief messages to tell the seeker how much time they have left. I also removed the timer from the scud storm so the game looks identical when a computer is even used. Because the scud storm has no timer, I have decided that I will add "Search and Destroy" for hiders. I want players to try to mess with the seeker. The seeker should have no problem hiding buggies or the Jarmen with the main force provided. Now a new question... is there a way to make a computer player worker build demo traps? I want the unit to build randomly at locations without adding a ton more waypoints. Is this possible?

Building should work fine with these scripts: SkirmishOnly -> Build -> Build a Building But you might have to add CombatZone, inner and outer perimeters and the attack paths to the comp base in order to get the scripts to work. If this fails to work then import the standard AI scripts into an empty map (but add all players first!) and see how the comps are ordered to build a building. But stay alert: Comps tend to run out of control and build buildings until they run out of cash. Edit: just tested it and the script you need to use is this: SkirmishOnly -> Build -> Build on front perimeter But he just builds a gigantic circle of a few hundred demo traps around his start position lol

It must be a glitch? Anyway the map is coming along so good I have quite a lot of fun. I'm getting close to 1500 scripts. It is really cool that the computer can play now.

Yup force building at a waypoint doesn't work :D. Should have pointed that out earlier.. If you find a way to get it to work let me know. But so far the giant circle seems to be the only thing you can do. Of course you could fake the building process by using another random variable, sending the worker to a random waypoint and just spawning the traps when the worker gets there. But sounds pretty retarded... I am also curious about the finished map. Really want to see what you did with 27 different random cases. I will join you for a few rounds on your map if I happen to see you online. Currently pretty busy with programming..

The red color glitch seems to happen if the fog exists in that area as it is built. I tried to force build in area with no fog and I didn't see red color. So I came up with an idea to make the fog disappear for a second and then post the demotrap right after. It seems to work but haven't fully tested it yet as I am not sure how to make the computer build different waves. Maybe just have to add all the waypoints and different scenarios with different random numbers. I have suffered a new problem. When units move by script they can possibly go out of the border especially the new created border. Because of this the unit will get stuck on the very edge of the map and do nothing. So far I have only reduced this possibility by making less units go to the edge of the map. The map is still moving along. I want to get as much done as possible before I upload here. I should be near 2,000 scripts now.

The glitch is very simple to explain. The workers start the building process but do not actually build. If you build something bigger you will see that there is just a 0% construction site but the worker will never start the actual building process. I tried building right next to the worker. Didnt work either. The only workaround seems to be spawning the demo traps. About the waypoints causing the units to get stuck: Just use paths instead. And could you please export all of your scripts (including everything), save them somewhere and check the filesize in bytes on HDD? I am curious if you have more code than I had in my mission map :D (I am too lazzy to count several hundred scripts.)

How the seeker's main units move around 2. How Jarmen moves around 3. How to build demo traps randomly 4. How to get seeker to place scan and spy drones to look for hiders All of which I have started and work somewhat great but not perfect yet. I got the demotraps to build near perfectly. The red color glitch was when the command button construct demotrap was at the same exact waypoint so it would show red for players. Now because I don't have the computer build in the same spot twice it never shows this red glitch. The .scb file size on disk is: 589,824 bytes Edit: If units move along a path can they break off? Like if I want humvees to be chased all the sudden.

And could you please export all of your scripts (including everything), save them somewhere and check the filesize in bytes on HDD? I am curious if you have more code than I had in my mission map :D (I am too lazzy to count several hundred scripts.)[/quote] Hmm paths, didn't think of that. I am still working on 4 things: 1. How the seeker's main units move around 2. How Jarmen moves around 3. How to build demo traps randomly 4. How to get seeker to place scan and spy drones to look for hiders All of which I have started and work somewhat great but not perfect yet. I got the demotraps to build near perfectly. The red color glitch was when the command button construct demotrap was at the same exact waypoint so it would show red for players. Now because I don't have the computer build in the same spot twice it never shows this red glitch. The .scb file size on disk is: 589,824 bytes Edit: If units move along a path can they break off? Like if I want humvees to be chased all the sudden.

Mine is 1.118,239 Bytes :P [img]http://bbsimg.ngfiles.com/1/21829000/ngbbs4c9c933948a0d.jpg[/img] xD 1. very complicated, have fun :D 2. make him hunt using ability vehicle snipe 3. afaik no way in skirmish maps. either a giant circle or spawning traps at given waypoints. Or did you get it to work to force build at waypoint? 4. randomly i guess? use command button on waypoint X Edit: Sure. "On enemy sighted" is the key word. Subroutine events, see the team tabs. But he might also see stealthed units (pretty sure he does) so you also have to check if seen units are also non-stealthed. You SHOULD be able to spawn the units on a team with that type of an event. Just create an empty team with "on enemy sighted" subroutine and spawn the seeker unit on that team instead for the comp. I am not quite sure if that worked in skirmish maps. You might have to use teams entirely instead of spawning units. Have fun lol

I have over 2,000 scripts now. Over 600 in glaskirmish folder and over 1400 in the playercivilian folder. Each demotrap route adds 10 to 15 scripts. Unfortunately I am not sure how to use subroutine events. If I were to spawn units on a team wouldn't that create an issue with my map design? The units already exist and when killed respawn in their starting area. I tried to use Jarmen snipe vehicle but because the vehicles are stealthed he won't move and when the vehicles are detected he does. However that type of movement looks like crap. He stops and goes a lot. Right now I have him moves nearest to AmericaVehicleHumvee but cannot get him to shoot yet because he stops moving. I am looking at a timer situation maybe. I will have to test more. Yes I got the force demotrap building at waypoint to work.

I am not sure how you got 1,118,239 Bytes but you displayed "1.118,239 Bytes" which means mine would be bigger technically (because of the period), LOL. I'm a little above 600kbs. Do you have something in the scripts, waypoints, etc that makes it a lot of bytes? Teams? Just curious. If I have over 2,000 scripts and yours might be scripts mostly then it has to be double what I have right? How big is the map?? When I add a script I get lag for about 2 seconds. When I delete or copy, or anything I get lag. If this was doubled I would suppose you would have lots of lag. Anyway, the map is very playable. Just a few slight issues to work out. I got just about everything working. The computer can play hiders and/or seeker so it is really fun. When the computer plays as seeker it is really difficult to stay alive. Once you are found or if the computer decides to attack, it is pretty much non stop action. Slight issues are making the seeker units chase pilots, radar usage for seeker, and units still going outside the map. I am pretty confident these issues can be fixed tomorrow. So what is in the map? Seeker will attack you if you are detected, attacking a unit, attacking the scud storm. The scud storm will randomly fire at locations and or hiders. When the time limit gets closer to 0 time left, the seeker will get more aggressive. Why is it difficult? Well the units are powerful and destroy buildings pretty well. A player can run and shoot however there is the possibility of Jarmen coming along and BAM your a humvee down easily. Infact I died a lot of to Jarmen chasing me around the map. I would upload what I have but this is already version 10 update and I would rather polish it before I upload then make it version 11. Sorry for the wait but I promise it is well worth it! Edit: BTW, I found out most of the lag was created when units had to move to one another and the path was too complex. Like water to go around, lots of buildings, etc. Also when multiple humvees are near each other the game can lag somewhat because the units are trying to decide which to attack nearest. All I use is move to nearest humvee script so I don't see how I could remove more lag. But it doesn't lag crazy, it is very playable. Just randomly at some point it might lag from time to time and it disappears.

Map seems to be working perfectly now. I might add a few more possibilities but the work is almost entirely done now. I played ten games and had a ton of fun. It should be a lot of fun to get a group and vs the computer seeker. I had a few wins but it was pretty difficult. Should post the map up Saturday night and then include some other versions so the map pack doesn't get boring. Did you watch the video Mixery?

I did watch parts of it. The seeker seems rather boring thought. He just moves to the humvees all the time, even if they are stealthed? But besides that, very impressive. Haven't met anybody yet who perfected worldbuilder scripting as easily as you, and I have met quite a lot of people who I supported. It shows that you have programming experience. Lets play the map some time soon. Next week I have holiday.

Just need to make more ways the seeker divides his army to search. To avoid the buggies going out of the map I just use the main force to check edges of the map. Buggies are more on the defense now which supports the seeker gameplay more. Killing quads? Watchout, buggies might shoot you at the same time now. I try to use the strategy of getting close to buggies then garrisoning my units to kill the radar and buggies. If you are detected, the seeker will come after you. You have 45 seconds to lose him or else he can keep following you. An issue I ran into it is because the humvees are stealthed I cannot use hunt, attack in area, attack unit, etc. All I can use is move to nearest unit or attack move to waypoint which works fine. Radar works great. Randomly there is spy drones and satellite used. I watch the replays to see if the seeker acts more human like and it is near there. I will never have the computer act exactly like a human but pretty close. I should be uploading the map tonight. [h]Edit:[/h] It seems I have found yet another glitch. I thought my train stopped working and after checking it HAS STOPPED WORKING!!! HOW???? I noticed it doesn't appear anymore and the sound of the game starting doesn't happen anymore. I believe this started when I inserted scripts into the usaskirmish folder. I have no scripts affecting my train, the waypoints path still exists. How do I go about fixing this? I suppose the issue is because scripts are still in playercivilian? But those scripts do not affect the train at all. Nothing does!

Haven't met anybody yet who perfected worldbuilder scripting as easily as you, and I have met quite a lot of people who I supported. It shows that you have programming experience. Lets play the map some time soon. Next week I have holiday.[/quote] You had a 1 and 6 chance the seeker would chase you right away. I fixed that to 1 and 8 now. Just need to make more ways the seeker divides his army to search. To avoid the buggies going out of the map I just use the main force to check edges of the map. Buggies are more on the defense now which supports the seeker gameplay more. Killing quads? Watchout, buggies might shoot you at the same time now. I try to use the strategy of getting close to buggies then garrisoning my units to kill the radar and buggies. If you are detected, the seeker will come after you. You have 45 seconds to lose him or else he can keep following you. An issue I ran into it is because the humvees are stealthed I cannot use hunt, attack in area, attack unit, etc. All I can use is move to nearest unit or attack move to waypoint which works fine. Radar works great. Randomly there is spy drones and satellite used. I watch the replays to see if the seeker acts more human like and it is near there. I will never have the computer act exactly like a human but pretty close. I should be uploading the map tonight. [h]Edit:[/h] It seems I have found yet another glitch. I thought my train stopped working and after checking it HAS STOPPED WORKING!!! HOW???? I noticed it doesn't appear anymore and the sound of the game starting doesn't happen anymore. I believe this started when I inserted scripts into the usaskirmish folder. I have no scripts affecting my train, the waypoints path still exists. How do I go about fixing this? I suppose the issue is because scripts are still in playercivilian? But those scripts do not affect the train at all. Nothing does!

Well I cannot get the train to work anymore. Surprisingly I would delete all scripts and folders, train would work in 1 scenario then tried again and it didn't. I don't understand because I never changed the train or any of the waypoints. I am wondering if I can import the scripts and get around this issue. I will try some more things.

Yes trains tend to be wicked. But you can spawn trains. You should be able to spawn them for PlyrCivilian or at least for the comps. But dont tell them what waypoint path to use. They use the nearest automatically.

This happen even if in the correct folder. I'm scratching my head. I delete EVERYTHING, no scripts or folders at all. Train doesn't work. I could of sworn I did the same thing last night and it worked. What would cause it to not work? Waypoints somehow got screwed up? "Railroad" is still in the correct spot on the waypoint paths. I am thinking possibly when I added waypoints the code got screwed up and thinks they interact or something. Because of this the train won't spawn and work properly. The problem is I cannot see it. I can only see my waypoints and not the code that holds that information. Edit: WOW it worked without an error. I see the train again! I didn't try this because I would get serious error for any unit earlier but now it works with no error. So strange, thanks Mixery for suggesting it!

Your are welcome. I also dont fully understand all the bugs and glitches of the worldbuilder. It is a very strange and unreliable tool. The main problem is, that they put a mission and a skirmish editor together. This causes several glitches and scripts that only work for certain scenarios. I am using the worldbuilder since 10 years now and there are still things I can only get to work with trial & error.

I run into little issues as well. In some cases no timer is needed for command button use. For example when I make the computer use emergency repair from their command center, it needs a timer to stop the event from going off every frame. But scud storm doesn't need a timer. Once the command button is used, it is deactivated. However the emergency repair is not. The map is in great shape. I added more demotrap waypaths, I added computer camping for hiders, I did add re-bunkering after a building is destroyed but for some reason the script refuses to work.

If the script is enabled after 15 seconds and not disabled until after 300 seconds then the units should try to re-bunker if a building is destroyed correct? But once the building is destroyed they chase nearby enemy units which I have no code for that at all! I only move the units 1k, 1l, 1m, 1n so how they move by themself? It must be the computer moving and attacking.

They probably try to garrison a destroyed building or they think they are still inside a building. You could try to remove (Unit -> Delete or Remove -> Remove) any building if it is destroyed. Or you could try to entirely destroy any building once it is un-garrisonable (too much damage).

Well here it is! Version A with Quads and full computer player support. I will make the other versions and snow map soon enough. Now since most of the work is done it should be easy to import. [url=http://www.ZacharyStafford.net/Downloads/HideandSeekGhostTownVA12.zip]Link[/url] Everything seems to work great, no known issues right now. I was going to add difficulty settings but that would be too much work when I have 5 versions for each map to make. Anyway try this out I think you will be impressed. Adi320 and I had a very hard time winning, actually we never won after the aggressive script was added lol. If you watch the seeker you will see he sort of acts human. I tried my best to make it perfect and I am pretty happy.

Uhm well.. the seeker is nuts lol. Can barely survive 5 minutes. But great work, indeed. But why exactly can you build demo traps at random locations? When I try it I only see the constuction site at 0% and the worker doesnt actually start the building process.

Every game I played the demo traps worked fine. The only way the worker couldn't build is if he was killed or blocked. Train isn't killing him? Units aren't making it run around in circles? Also there is a script if he dies he starts a new route after and he should never do the same route twice because of flags. Edit: OR did you mean when you try to script it, it doesn't work? Well I do disable the worker from being built, I give the computer a lot of money, and I force him to build with command button. Might be a reason in there somewhere. You could try going through all the scripts and seeing what you don't have. The build route is under the USASkirmish folder computerplayingwithinArea5build I think.

Well the map is popular, still haven't won yet. I got close with 1 minute left. I found a serious error but it seems to only happen after the computer is killed within area 5. This means the seeker scripts. There is so many though to disable. I was wondering if there was a simple script I could use? To see the error you can ally with the seeker and wait after 20 minutes. When he dies, about a second later the game crashes. I suppose it is a script that waits to execute from a timer. Something that moves his units which are not existent or are now team playercivilian. Maybe I shouldn't kill the player and instead end the game? Which script is the appropriate one? Another question is, is there a way to make the computer use network tunnels? I won't have names to tunnels so I assume there is no way to use them effectively? Like if I use the special power from the command center to place a tunnel instantly is there a way to evacuate units out of it?

You can "guard from inside tunnel network". But afaik you need at least 1 named tunnel to load units into. Also you will need a team, because the script only works on teams: Team -> Guard -> from inside tunnel network Maybe a team will automatically load into the nearest tunnel if you use this script or a similar one: Team -> Garrison -> Garrison nearby building. But I have no idea if that will work. It might. About the serious error: You should disable all script folders of the computer player, then remove him from the game (by revoming all his buildings). That shouldn't cause a crash. Or could the crash come from the PlyrCivilian folder?

I then added a flag to figure out when the game was over and stop the playercivilian units from respawning after the seeker player died. It works, no errors. I also made the D version for GhostTown and at first thought it was easier but bikes are so fast they create a huge difficulty. I have yet to win still. I got close though, 1 minute left. The problem is the aggressiveness is off the chart and so hard to stay alive. But I like that because if I was playing as a seeker, most likely the hiders would die too. So in a way it is a great challenge, practice, and fun overall. The sad thing is no matter how cool this is, it isn't played much today. It would of been a bigger impact when the game was created. It does however demonstrate my skills in making something fun, balanced, and programming/scripting it. I have that stubbornness to make sure it was done right and overall it did come out great. Like you said, impressive! I haven't worked on the teams thing yet but I think there might be a way to get it to someway work but maybe not exactly to my liking. I will probably work on stealth tomorrow night and with the hijackers + stealth bus I will try to use tunnels. We will see how it comes out.

Is there a way to tell "when" a bus has become immobile? I tried status immboile but it didn't work. I tried less than or equal to 0 health but that only happens after the unit dies completely. I want to kill the bus after it cannot move and while units are inside it. This way all the units respawn and are easy to script for future attacks.

Haven't tried that yet. You can only test all the IF status statements.

The other problem is tunnels. A bus can go into it to heal. So even if I check for the 2nd 100% flag it wouldn't matter if it goes into a tunnel.

I actually believe there is no way to tie both the human and computer player to the same scenario. Therefore I think this could only work for computer playing. I have been trying to make it global for any player but sadly I doubt that is possible. After more testing this might work only for computer player as well: If unit is at 99% health then If unit is at 100% health then 'This is when the bus becomes immobile. set timer wait 15 seconds if unit is not destroyed then kill unit Of course there will be more statements to avoid serious errors. I cannot run the statements if the unit is not existent. And the other problem is using the code between the cpu player folder and the playercivilian which I might use a marker. OR I might use "unit destroyed or not in area" check. I will have to work on it some more.

I've been looking through the INI code, and there's no status for a bunkered battle bus. The code uses a conditionstate instead.

[quote=i^love^mixery;130013][quote=Gameanater;130008]Dude, I think that picture might get deleted from here... It's not funny. :/ And it's just wrong... -_-[/quote] You are neither contributing to this topic nor fun. How about that? We compared our .scb file size which is just a very nerdy thing to do so I guess the picture is appropriate. I don't think ZaCkOX would get mad over something like that. Are you mad because there now is a rooster in your Matrix? Just sayin'. :/ I kinda... reeeaaally don't find those kind of jokes funny.
