How to make units follow ME

What do I need to do to make units AI follow me? I'm doing an RC style map and... you get the picture. I don't want to Commandos going around and doing what they want.

Where in my lua does this line go?

Code: Select all

AddAIGoal( team, "Follow", weight, gameObjectPtr);

It's either:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[quote]function ScriptPostLoad()...

 ...conquest:Start()

   EnableSPHeroRules()

 AddAIGoal(3, "Deathmatch", 101)

 end

    [/quote]

OR

Hidden/Spoiler:

[quote]SetTeamName(3, "Acklays")

    AddUnitClass(3, "geo_inf_acklay",3)

    SetUnitCount(3, 1)

    AddAIGoal(3,"Deathmatch",100)

    SetTeamAsFriend(ATT,3)

    SetTeamAsFriend(3,ATT)

    SetTeamAsFriend(DEF,3)

    SetTeamAsFriend(3,DEF)

[/quote]

I seem to have set it up in two different places

but I guess try both. I set up a death match goal for my local team because an acklay keep trying to capture cps.

You should have a look in some of the stock lua's, but i think it goes in scriptpostload.

is there a way to make them just follow one unit type like a new commander unit?

I'm quite sure skelltor noticed that before posting. I'm not sure exactly what you'd put into the field, but you define who they follow in the last field, gameObjectPtr. As i said, I'm not sure whether you just type in the units name, or if its a bit more complicated then that....

ClearAIGoals( 1 )
AddAIGoal( 1, "Defend", 100, 0 )
ClearAIGoals( 2 )
AddAIGoal( 2, "Destroy", 50, 0 )
AddAIGoal( 2, "Destroy", 50, atatPtr )

This sets up all of team 1 to defend Character(0), which is the player. Here you could also
put the index of a special character (ie Leia or anyone) you spawn in somewhere. Team 2 is
set to kill Character(0) (the player again) and also destroy the ATAT specified by atatPtr.
