Key Cats AI

[456820]

simply how can i make Key cats Group link script run for every east group in the game ?

[MrN]

simply look at the demo mission.  

all the answers are there.

ie-give every east group a name and run:
[[group1,group2 etc],[],[],playergroupname,3,0.55] exec "ai\grouplink2.sqs"

the only disadvantage to Keycats's AI is it will only target one group. Otherwise it's fantastic.

i was thinking of a more easy way instead of giving every group a name since ive got a lot of groups and most of them are very small and ive almost reached the most groups i can have

[MrN]

First it would be nice if you'd explained that.  

Second, I'd be curious to know myself. It is a pain having to name every group but I don't see how you could do it without naming them all.

Instead of Keycats you could use Bremmers AI and just put:

[group this,[] ,[] ,[] ,[] ,0,1] exec "ai.sqs"

into the group leaders init.

The downside to this is they won't be able to call in backup only throw smoke and flank.

WOW thats great idea thats all i actually wanted it for thanks
also ill leave this open incase someone does know how to do it withoutnaming the group and sorry for not explaining

[MrN]

sorry for not explaining

No worries, it's easier to provide the answer if you understand the question! ;D

I think I've got an answer for this:

; Create a trigger that covers all units placed on the island
; Set it to activate by east/west/resistance present depending on who bad guys are
; In the onactivation field write: thislist exec "unit_check.sqs"
; I got this from Wolsbane's tracer script, I just modified it for Keycats' instead.

_list = _this
_i = 0
_men = []
_tanks = []
_helos = []
_cars = []
_grp = []

#check_type
_unit = _list select _i
?"man" counttype [_unit] == 1: _men = _men + [_unit]
?"man" counttype [leader group _unit] == 1: _grp = _grp + [leader group _unit]
?"tank" counttype [_unit] == 1: _tanks = _tanks + [_unit]
?"tank" counttype [leader group _unit] == 1: _grp = _grp + [leader group _unit]
?"air" counttype [_unit] == 1: _helos = _helos + [_unit]
?"air" counttype [leader group _unit] == 1: _grp = _grp + [leader group _unit]
?"car" counttype [_unit] == 1: _cars = _cars + [_unit]
?"car" counttype [leader group _unit] == 1: _grp = _grp + [leader group _unit]

_i = _i + 1
?_i < (count _list): goto "check_type"

;exclude ECP ai for testing
{[_x] exec format["%1dsai\dsai_exclude.sqs",ECP_path]} foreach _men


{[[_x],[],[],p1_grp,3,0.55] exec {ai\grouplink2.sqs}} foreach _grp


#loop

; Show occupied groups
hint format["Occupied Groups:\n%1", KEY_occupied]
~5

goto "loop"

Something like that anyway.  
Just make sure you put

p1_grp = group this

into the players' squad init.
