I must be having a brainfart and a temporary onset of blindness because I can't seem to figure out how to increase unit counts for a team in campaign mode. Anyone know off the top of their head what the line is? SetUnitCount (team, #of dudes) doesn't work.

Check the stock campaign scripts for reference. How many units are you trying to add? The code you're using should work.

The only stock campaign that uses that line to boost numbers is geonosis and that line is commented out. I know there is another function that I used regularly in making landing at point rain but I can't remmember it and the computer the source files were on has long since gone the way of the dodo. I think it may have been AddUnitCount, i'll try it out and see what happens.

doesn't work, has anyone else gotten this to work before?

It does work, as long as you keep all such lines for a team before function ScriptInit().

Oddly it doesn't seem to work for me for some reason, I have it added in the on start function of objective 5 which is the first objective to be loaded in my current testing build, the add unit count and block path functions don't work but the rest plays out just fine. Here is the entire objective for reference.

Is the maximum spawn count per available unit class for team 2 high enough to allow 25 units to spawn?

Yes, here is the ALL team setup. Strangely, when I was experimenting with the AddUnitCount line that doesn't actually do anything, the AI started following their objectives better, they actually sat on the CP instead of charging off like usual. I'll try adding the defunct line now and see what happens. Its an odd notion but maybe it will do something.

--edit, no good the alliance still has 5 units.

Try raising these numbers.

tried it and still no good. I think i'll make a test map and see if I can't get an AI increase working in a simpler enviroment first, will edit this post later with results. Basic script will be objective1 go here, objective 2 defend position with AI increase tied into end of objective 1. We'll see what happens.

ok so I tried it in a test map and it worked fine, but now i've got to figure out how to implement it into this map. I looked it up in my old landing at point rain script and I had all of those functions written the exact same way. I am at a complete loss here. I'll post my whole script if someone could help me look it over, i've read through a couple of times but could find no mistakes. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

EDIT
sorry for bump but i've figured out at least part of the problem. I was setting up ambush teams using the SetUnitCount line to define ambush teams so that probably was part of the problem. I worked over the lua but it didn't seem to fix the problem. The command is simply ignored, no error message generated. Could someone help me look over my lua? There must be a coding mistake I made somewhere along the line, conventions or something like that I would guess. Here is an updated copy could one of you guys please help me out here? this blasted script is the only thing keeping me from releasing TCR V1.1.
