AIGoal CTF problem

Master Fionwë · Post by **Master Fionwë** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 3:11 pm

My teams don't go after the flags in ctf mode, so I added the ai goals in the lua. They stopped spawning, and it turned the mode into a conquest, with the reinforcement counter instead of the flag points. So I removed the lines and now they spawn, but they still don't go after the flag. I found these errors in the log.

Seems like you typed something wrong and the game couldn't understand the new, invalid AI goals.

This is the area where I put the goals in:

function ScriptPostLoad()
--ClearAIGoals( 1)
--AddAIGoal(1, "CTFOffense", 50, flag2_home)
--AddAIGoal(1, "CTFDefense", 50 )
--ClearAIGoals( 2 )
--AddAIGoal(2, "CTFOffense", 50, flag1_home)
--AddAIGoal(2, "CTFDefense", 50 )
AddAIGoal(3, "Deathmatch", 100)
AddAIGoal(4, "Deathmatch", 100)
AddAIGoal(5, "Deathmatch", 100)
AddAIGoal(6, "Deathmatch", 100)
AddAIGoal(7, "Deathmatch", 100)

SetProperty("flag1", "CarriedGeometryName", "com_icon_republic_flag_carried")
SetProperty("flag2", "GeometryName", "com_icon_cis_flag")
SetProperty("flag2", "CarriedGeometryName", "com_icon_cis_flag_carried")

--This makes sure the flag is colorized when it has been dropped on the ground
SetClassProperty("com_item_flag", "DroppedColorize", 1)

--This is all the actual ctf objective setup
ctf = ObjectiveCTF:New{teamATT = REP, teamDEF = CIS, captureLimit = 5, textATT = "game.modes.ctf", textDEF = "game.modes.ctf2", hideCPs = true, multiplayerRules = true}
ctf:AddFlag{name = "flag1", homeRegion = "flag1_home", captureRegion = "flag2_home",
capRegionMarker = "hud_objective_icon_circle", capRegionMarkerScale = 3.0,
icon = "", mapIcon = "flag_icon", mapIconScale = 3.0}
ctf:AddFlag{name = "flag2", homeRegion = "flag2_home", captureRegion = "flag1_home",
capRegionMarker = "hud_objective_icon_circle", capRegionMarkerScale = 3.0,
icon = "", mapIcon = "flag_icon", mapIconScale = 3.0}

SoundEvent_SetupTeams( REP, 'rep', CIS, 'cis' )

ctf:Start()

SetUberMode(1);

EnableSPHeroRules()

You have at least one problem. Put quotes around flag1_home and flag2_home. Without them, the computer thinks they are Lua variables (which they could be if you want to do flag1_home = "flag1_home" instead).

I'm not sure if your CTFDefense AI goal will work. They may just stand around doing nothing. You need to check that when testing your map.

Don't forget to uncomment them.

Okay, thanks. I'll try it out and get back to you. I'm also having an issue with conquest, so even if this does get fixed, it may not make it into the final version of the game. There is something about conquest which crashes that mode. It's not the layer, because assault uses the conquest layer as well, so it's something with the script. Here it is, I've posted this in a few other places, but haven't ben getting much response.

Again, thanks.

I would say its the negative fly height, too many teams playing at the same time (maybe swap around the team numbers, don't use teams numbers 7 or 8, I don't know why just don't, unless you can find them being used in another map), or too many units in memory. Comment out all but teams 1 and 2 then remove any unused units and test the map. If it works without the extra teams and units, add back one team at a time (with its units) until it crashes again. I assume the error log shows nothing?

Nope, nothing. Thanks, I'll try that.

EDIT: I just want to point out that ctf has seven teams, and just as many units. My XL mode started to do the same ting, crash for some unknown reason. The result was the removal of it from the map. Assault mode uses the same mode, same number of teams, but less units. So I doubt it's the number of teams, and what negative fly height? The minumin fly height is negative, but hte max is positive.

EDIT2: Okay, thanks guys for your help. CTF is now working a little better, still have an issue though. I'll get to that in a moment.

Conquest has stopped crashing, it was just somethign wrong with the lua, a bug in the actual script or something. I just copied everything from the assault script into the conquest one, and it works fine.
Now, my issue is this, the units go after the flag, but then they just stand there holding it and not doing anything. How do I get them to run back to their base with the flag?
