Let's see if it works when I remember to check "Battle Reactions" and "Full Auto Attack".

Suffice to say that it isn't working.

That is, in the latest test, when I lured an enemy drone in and told the command center to attack it, the building immediately started CHASING (lolwut?) the drone back to it's base, not responding to commands, until it stopped in the middle of the enemy's base, attempted to fire, and the game crashed.

I think it's safe to say you have encountered a minor problem.

Change the dat edit properies to what the Protoss Photon Cannon has.

Well, technically, the CC did manage to get off a single pot-shot at the drone before it started moving.

Still.

Uh, ok?

Lemme go try that.

Copy over only the "AI Actions" tab.

It's working much better now, with two exeptions:

-It refuses to auto-attack.
-If the Command Center deals the finishing blow to a unit, the game crashes.

Check its aquisition range.

It might be the CC's toidle animation. Change it to something else without a 125 wait.

I think hope I've got the CC fixed, but that needs moar testing.

Next: I gave the civilian the ability to build structures and repair, and made it buildable in the CC (FireGraft ftw).

There are two problems, however:

-When I click on the button to build basic buildings, the Command Center, Supply Depot, and Refinery buttons are not only greyed out (despite my owning a CC), but are unclickable and don't display text.

-When repairing, the civilain spawns a Mature Chrysalis sprite at his location.

You need to edit the dat requirements in Firegraft. Each building has a list of opcodes that it follows. Just add this to each building that you want the civilian to be able to be built:



Now, go to the orders tab in the dat requirements and make sure that the repair function(s) also has (have) that.

The civilian can build now (and could repair), but I still have the problem of the chrysalis sprite. One spawns under the civilian every time one would see the "spark" from an SCV's Fusion Cutter during building or repairing.

I think that giving the civ a weapon (like the fusion cutter) might resolve the problem, but I'm not sure.

I think the game is calling a header that isnt in your script. Make sure your civilian has similar headers and scripts as the SCV.

Hmm... I've encountered the same kind of thing when attempting to give an attack to the scanner sweep...

Yes, it specifies how far in front it will appear and it does work for projectiles.

edit: heh, I didn't even realize I was replying to a post in the same topic; I had a tab that was already open for replying to that post.

Make sure that your unit actually waits before moving on to the next command after the attack opcode. Say an attack takes 12 clicks to finish -- your unit should have:

Epic mod will be epic if/when I finish it.

Also, been trying to convert the Nexus (after re-imagining what I'd been working on). Protoss buildings = pain in the ass.

I ripped off the barracks for the Working animation:


The problem is, das blinkenlights won't stop blinking, even after the build order is finished/cancelled.

It supposed to go to a wait block:



But, yeah, making protoss emulate terran buildings are a pain. Or hell, editting protoss buildings in general.

Edit: A of s t beat me to it.

Yea, I know.
