If you havent noticed you can just make a lan game and choose "sandbox" in type, then you can just test out ther units and stuff by yourself, the ai builds a small base you can destroy but never attacks you.

But some units and buildings takes forever to make, there is one giantic tower that takes 379 minutes to build according to the tooltip, couldt be arsed to wait for it to build up. But i hope it rocks with that build time Smile

You can change the speed of the game with the "+" and "-" buttons.. not sure if that will help much with 379.. wow.

Actually ive never seen any AI what so ever in a sandbox game, i dont buy that. There is 1 map that has pre-built neutral structures tough.
And Epsilon, i dont doubt that the AI's are in the game, i saw the codes myself, but i think what happened when i disconnected was just that my build queues and attack move / patrols just kept on doing its thing.

I'm sorry, I have no idea about lua and not much coding knowledge in general.

all I can say about that is that it's a loop getting 2 variables per ai type out of the aitypes file, but that's it. and I'm pretty sure that's nothing you didn't already know yesterday Smile

Hey, I went to download the Supreme Commander beta but it asks for a key before downloading and I don't have such keys so how did you guys manage to download it without the key?

Note to self: come up with a good sig.

As far i can see below, it expects some kind of object in the aitypes array. It would be nice to know what the key or the name are supposed to be. Additionally, while i would understand for aidata in aitypes, i just can't find a reason for the aiindex part in it. It is not really used in the block anywhere.

So with me being prefectly clueless on what you've tried until now.. do you have an idea what aidata.key or aidata.name should be?

Just an idea: what about making an array of the imported modules? Something like this:

local TurtleAI = import('/lua/modules/AI/aiarchetype-turtle.lua').turtle

#########################################
# We Define the Ai's                    #
#########################################

aitypes = {
import('/lua/modules/AI/aiarchetype-easy.lua'),
import('/lua/modules/AI/aiarchetype-medium.lua'),
import('/lua/modules/AI/aiarchetype-rush.lua'),
import('/lua/modules/AI/aiarchetype-turtle.lua')
}
end

After all, if the referenced modules can be used as objects (as the .rush, .turtle, etc part suggests), maybe it is the list of referenced modules the game expects. Just a tip, hope it helps.

it's possible to get it in, but it's hard to find out how, who knows if someone will find the right structure before the final game is released

Your loading the modules multiple times, theres no reason for that, once you've passed local import something it's like an include statement in c++ and you can refer to it by name
whenever you want in the script, however that way of doing it and the way that I myself outlined is wrong.
The correct way is something like
[code]
aitypes = {
Easy = (tablegnt(import('/something/to/path/is/a/file.lua')Easy Ai)
}
[/code]
