hello!

hello!

Hello! Im trying to make my own map again ;x.

I am searching a script for troops.

Explain:

There are 3 players. You, Your ally, and your enemy. 2 v 1, singleplayer map. I want to make something like on map Dartmor.

They are in war, you can help your ally to win.

I want to do something like their troops arent ending. I mean there is 10xHeavyCavalry and if it dies it respawns again and again, you know the perpetum mobile.


I have got an good idea but i need this script to immediately begin and finish.

Ok forget it, my whole script is gone, system fucked everything and its literally gone.

Hi polaster!
Good to hear you are trying to build a map! Dont let that setback demotivate you

A script example for respawning armies can be found here:
http://www.siedler-games.de/si...nce:setupaitroopspawngenerator
(descriptions are in german, but the code is pretty self-explanatory.

Well thanks, but I need another script. I mean I want something like this:

Your ally fights versus your enemy.

How can I make it that they will fight and fight, no end ;d.

Rectuiting or spawning troops. w/e.

Er, that is exactly Noigi's link...

If you want two AI players to fight each other, you can simply set up an army spawn generator for both.

And how do i create Ai players ?

I tried from ScriptExample but when i pasted it and tried to work nothing happened.

counter = 0
var = 0	 ( its under map tools )


--Tools.ExploreArea( -1, -1, 900 ) 


StartSimpleJob("CreateArmyFour2")

function CreateArmyFour2 ()
     if ( var < 900 ) then
       var = var +1
     end
     if ( var == 20 ) then
	armyFour2								= {}
	armyFour2.player 						= 1
	armyFour2.id 							= 1
	armyFour2.strength 						= 4
	armyFour2.position 						= GetPosition("z2")
	armyFour2.rodeLength 					= 10000
	SetupArmy(armyFour2)
	local troopDescription1 					= {}
	troopDescription1.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 4
	troopDescription1.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
	troopDescription1.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
	troopDescription1.leaderType 			= Entities.PU_LeaderHeavyCavalry2    local troopDescription2 					= {}
	troopDescription2.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 4
	troopDescription2.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
	troopDescription2.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
	troopDescription2.leaderType 			= Entities.PU_LeaderBow2
  local troopDescription3 					= {}
	troopDescription3.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 4
	troopDescription3.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
	troopDescription3.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
	troopDescription3.leaderType 			= Entities.CU_Barbarian_LeaderClub2
	local troopDescription4 					= {}
	troopDescription4.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 8
	troopDescription4.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
	troopDescription4.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
	troopDescription4.leaderType 			= Entities.CU_BanditLeaderSword2
  for i = 1,4,1 do
		EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription1)
	end
	for i = 1,4,1 do
		EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription2)
	end
	for i = 1,3,1 do
		EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription3)
	end
	for i = 1,2,1 do
		EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription4)
	end
    var = 0
	return
	end	
end

Can u tell me where is the mistake that the troops arent spawning? Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. I dont really know wtf is happenin' ;ccc

Do you have a script entity on your map with the right name?

yes I do.

Hi, I just tested your code and it works perfect. There is no error in the part you posted.

What do you mean exactly? Troop spawning?

Yes Its a script which allows to spawn troops even for the real player. But sometimes is works and sometimes it doesnt work and i dont know why ;x

Your script then should look similar to the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- MapName: XXX
--
-- Author: XXX
--
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Include main function
Script.Load( Folders.MapTools.."Main.lua" )
IncludeGlobals("MapEditorTools")

--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- This function is called from main script to initialize the diplomacy states
function InitDiplomacy()
end


--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- This function is called from main script to init all resources for player(s)
function InitResources()
    -- set some resources
    AddGold  (1000)
    AddSulfur(2000)
    AddIron  (3000)
    AddWood  (4000)	
    AddStone (5000)	
    AddClay  (6000)	
end

--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- This function is called to setup Technology states on mission start
function InitTechnologies()
end

--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- This function is called on game start and after save game is loaded, setup your weather gfx
-- sets here
function InitWeatherGfxSets()
	SetupNormalWeatherGfxSet()
end

--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- This function is called on game start you should setup your weather periods here
function InitWeather()
	AddPeriodicSummer(10)
end

--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- This function is called on game start and after save game to initialize player colors
function InitPlayerColorMapping()
end
	
--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- This function is called on game start after all initialization is done
function FirstMapAction()
	var = 0
	StartSimpleJob("CreateArmyFour2")
end

function CreateArmyFour2 ()
    if ( var < 900 ) then
		var = var +1
    end
    if ( var == 20 ) then
		armyFour2								= {}
		armyFour2.player 						= 1
		armyFour2.id 							= 1
		armyFour2.strength 						= 4
		armyFour2.position 						= GetPosition("z2")
		armyFour2.rodeLength 					= 10000
		SetupArmy(armyFour2)
		
		local troopDescription1 					= {}
		troopDescription1.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 4
		troopDescription1.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
		troopDescription1.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
		troopDescription1.leaderType 			= Entities.PU_LeaderHeavyCavalry2  
		
		local troopDescription2 					= {}
		troopDescription2.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 4
		troopDescription2.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
		troopDescription2.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
		troopDescription2.leaderType 			= Entities.PU_LeaderBow2
		
		local troopDescription3 					= {}
		troopDescription3.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 4
		troopDescription3.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
		troopDescription3.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
		troopDescription3.leaderType 			= Entities.CU_Barbarian_LeaderClub2
		
		local troopDescription4 					= {}
		troopDescription4.maxNumberOfSoldiers 	= 8
		troopDescription4.minNumberOfSoldiers 	= 0
		troopDescription4.experiencePoints 		= VERYHIGH_EXPERIENCE
		troopDescription4.leaderType 			= Entities.CU_BanditLeaderSword2
		
		for i = 1,4,1 do
			EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription1)
		end
		for i = 1,4,1 do
			EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription2)
		end
		for i = 1,3,1 do
			EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription3)
		end
		for i = 1,2,1 do
			EnlargeArmy(armyFour2,troopDescription4)
		end
		var = 0
		return
	end	
end

If the player Id of the army (player 1 in this case) has not a single building on the map, the game crashes.

CreateArmy1()
CreateArmy2()
-- both in the FMA


Function CreateArmy1()
Army = {}
Army.player = 2
Army.id = 9
Army.strength = 4
Army.position = GetPosition("EnemySpawn1")
Army.rodeLength = 1000

SetupArmy(Army)

Army.spawnTypes = {
    {Entities.PU_LeaderPoleArm4, 8},
    {Entities.PU_LeaderPoleArm4, 8},
    {Entities.PU_LeaderSword4,   8},
    {Entities.PU_LeaderSword4,   8},
    }

Army.endless = true

Army.spawnPos = GetPosition("EnemySpawn1")

Army.spawnGenerator = "EnemyHQ1"

Army.respawnTime = 10

Army.refresh = true

Army.maxSpawnAmount = 4

Army.noEnemy = true

Army.noEnemyDistance = 500

SetupAITroopSpawnGenerator("EnemyArmy1", Army)

StartSimpleJob("ControlArmy1")
end

function ControlArmy1()
Move("EnemyArmy1","P1")
end

Function CreateArmy2()
Army = {}
Army.player = 3
Army.id = 9
Army.strength = 4
Army.position = GetPosition("EnemySpawn2")
Army.rodeLength = 1000

SetupArmy(Army)

Army.spawnTypes = {
    {Entities.PU_LeaderPoleArm4, 8},
    {Entities.PU_LeaderPoleArm4, 8},
    {Entities.PU_LeaderSword4,   8},
    {Entities.PU_LeaderSword4,   8},
    }

Army.endless = true

Army.spawnPos = GetPosition("EnemySpawn2")

Army.spawnGenerator = "EnemyHQ2"

Army.respawnTime = 10

Army.refresh = true

Army.maxSpawnAmount = 4

Army.noEnemy = true

Army.noEnemyDistance = 500

SetupAITroopSpawnGenerator("EnemyArmy2", Army)

StartSimpleJob("ControlArmy2")
end

function ControlArmy2()
Move("EnemyArmy2","P2")
end

Try it with this.
If you've any question about this, just ask!

yeah im just back to making my own map and I wanna see if it is possible that sometimes the troops will attack me-player1 and sometimes the another ai player. You know - one troop spawn goes to real player and the other troop spawn goes to the another ai player.

I guess the best way to realise this would be to adjust the army positions.

Something like

ArmyNrOne.position = GetPosition("a")
ArmyNrTwo.position = GetPosition("b")

while position a and b might be near the enemies to be attacked. You may than call FrontalAttack or Advance on these armys.

It says that there is some mistake, ERRSYNTAX

I-ve got a question. Is there any tutorial in english language that I can use to create my own map?

Syntaxerror: please write where the error occurs (which line) because it's much easier for you to finde the place of the error.

Tutorial: afaik not, but you can check the "ScriptExample" map which comes with the 1st AddOn. Maybe its script can help you.

this syntaxerror is a programme which detects errors?

		var = 0
	return
	end	
end

And I have another question. I want to spawn this army max 1 time and respawn it when the last unit dies, could you edit it for me?

@polaster: Syntax are the rules of a language. So a syntaxerror is something that does not follow these rules. (Therefore the compiler has no idea what to do with it and throws an error.)

@Play4Fun: Mir ist aufgefallen das da Function anstelle von function steht.

How detect which line is wrong?

It's in the Error Message. Should be something like Filename:Line Errortext

It just says LUA_ERRSYNTAX

oh, you are using the syntax check in the MapEditor ... please, for your and our advantage: use the syntax and varcheck or use the lua debugger!
