A good thing would be able to make the AI smarter, like, for eg. if a group of trooups begins to feel outnumbered by the enemy, the would call 4 reinforcements, or start panicking frantically You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Good idea. But you can also do that with scripting. For example, you could you the command on checking the objects health, or status of living or not. And if the objects health gets below 10 or if it dies, it would start a command that makes reienforcements come. But, this would be hectic to do for all objects on you map. And what I think how it should be smarter is like this: Ive noticed the enemy notices you there no matter what. I think you should lower the ene's "field of noticing-you" alot lower, and also the enemys turn really fast, i think they should turn slower. All for the sake of covert missions  . And you could replace with a better AI varible for the objects properties that affect how he reacts to certin situations, or somthing that makes AI more intelligent  .

Yes, decreased fov and turning rate would be good for covert / night missions. Also, the torch's range is too short to be useful. I recommend tripling the range and making it green-channel only (34% processing required). Night vision goggles! Now ignore what i just said!

We dont, i mean, i havent even ever made a map with script commands once. But i have read the Advanced Scripting turtorial (its very simple to understand) in the Documentation, and i have seen some of the level's *.sc files. You dont really have to know C++, cause i dont even know a bit of it at all. You just need to know the commands to put in if you want a script to run. But, like JB said, you dont need scripting to make an awsome level, just look at some of the mods and maps for M1. Scripting is an added little appetizer to the maps, thats all. I just happen to know a little about scripting cause i got my self familiarized a while ago to a programming language called "RPGCode" (basically its similar to JB's simple script commands except there was a whole bunch more commands). Anyways, M2 scripting its pretty simple to learn if you want to learn it, but you dont need scripting at all to make a great level.

Well said and very true. The idea is that by plopping units down in the Map Editor you can make a map that is quite playable and good fun. The scripting is for more enthusiastic people who want to add extra sequences. There is a learning curve but all the C++ you really need to know is to put (); on the end of everything (well its basically true lol). Other than a few basic syntax rules (which happen to be same as C) it is quite simply a list of commands made in Notepad. The tricky bit is working out how all the IDs work and getting the functions (or "sequences" if you like) to run. Now this.... [sequence] name=ReadyTroops SC_BindObjectToWaypoint 1, 10 SC_SetSectorHidden 1 [end sequence] is the same as this... void ReadyTroops() { SC_BindObjectToWaypoint(1, 10); SC_SetSectorHidden(1); } I guess that "void" in scripting terms means "this is a sequence or function (whatever). { and } are start and end, put values in brackets (1,1) and stick a ; on the end of each line. I understand that its hard to grasp at first but once you figure it out its totally consistent. James. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I really hate those really long script command posts since theyre such a drag to read.
