Anyone know how to make Shard AI work with Conflict Terra?

[AF]

ok, I'm clearly in way over my head here, with all this lua stuff... I am kinda interested in how the AI works though.

Dont worry I built Shard so that you dont need to code any logic if you don't have to in order to modify its behaviour, its more when new behaviours or new behaviour logic is needed, as is the case here.

The API Shard exposes, is actually a lua proxy table that's written out in api.lua, so you can see the entire API there with all its parameters, without having to dig into C++

Thanks knorke

so where do I get this new AI?

[oksnoop2]

It's a luaai so it's built right into the game. Just get the latest revision.

[yanom]

ahhh, there it is. Thanks! Was this AI made just recently, after my question about Shard?

[oksnoop2]

yeah, knorke made it like... today? i guess.

Yesterday, depending on timezones.
I had the idea for some time but this thread inspired me to actually start.
It is not a Shard AI, though some things could be reused perhaps. For example the move-engineers-to-rocks works basically like written here:
http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... 8&start=11

Code: Select all

function deployNearRes (unitID, keys)
	local nearest_resID, rx,ry,rz, nearest_res_distance  = nearestResFromUnit (unitID)
	local x,y,z = getBuildSpot (rx,ry,rz, "kdroneminingtower", 20, 5)
	deployAt (unitID,  x,z , keys)
end

The spring specific stuff like Spring.GetUnitsInCylinder would have to be replaced by Shard specific stuff.
