Scout AI

I wrote a Group AI for scouting.
All it does is send units to where you have no LOS, taking into account whether the given unit is a ship, plane, hover, or land unit.
Granted, it's nothing that anybody couldn't do, but I like it.

Get it here: http://www.geocities.com/veylon_ii/TASpring/Scout.zip

BTW: This ALSO uses that StrDat structure. It probably doesn't matter, but if you don't want it you can compile without it.

It's definitely interesting, I'll have to take a look at it when I get to that point of my AI, and see if it'll be easier to include than writing my own, or not. I'll be sure to ask your permission first.

Scouting needs sorting out anyways.

Zaphods does basically what yours does but isnt that efefctive if it isnt an aircraft it's controlling, and mine is somewhat effective using a simple heuristic that sometimes gives a raiding aspect depending on how its used, but it's limited to land and air only....

Napalm wrote a godo air type system where it spiralled outwards searching, and I ahve a few better ideas for use.

Anything's probably better than this, but it's something. Maybe I could add some sort of interface to make sure high-metal areas and Geo's get more attention.
Maybe some kind of reporting system if something interesting gets found...
