Selfdestructing units

[submarine]

When ordering CMD_SELFD, AAI sometimes crashes (though the crash doenst occur in AAI itself but in spring.exe) although i'm sure, that the unit id of the building/unit is valid

is use the unit id as the first param. is there anything wrong with that? most of the time it works fine, it just sometimes causes problems

Does your AI refer to the unit later, after destruction? That could likely be the problem, if your AI is trying to get information about it later.

no the crash happens immediately after the order has been given (but crashes somewhere in spring.exe - thats why i thought maybe i use it incorrectly)

but then it should crash everytime i call it, not only once out of perhaps 20 times?!?

I wasnt aware the command needed a parameter, usually:

Code: Select all

Command c;
c.id = CMD_SELFD;
int result = cb->giveorder(unit,&c);

should suffice. Look at the kamikaze routine in NTai

i really dont know if it needs one

however, i guess youre right - cmd selfdestruct without params makes more sence to me :)

It doesnt need parameters, its in the code.

When you're not sure how a command works you can always look in the CommandAI directory (rts/Sim/Units/CommandAI)
This is where the commands are converted to actual unit behavior.

Yep, and its pretty easy to understand compared to the rest of the spring code I used it as a base to make my UNIT class

hmm perhaps we should add some documentation about the different commands and their possible params to the wiki
