Player script edited for AI

[Rosso777 22]

Here is the original script set for a player model, but how would I mod it to also apply to an AI?

 

if(isTouchingGround player && alive player && _curpos select 2 < 1)then

                    {

                        _nearestObjects = nearestObjects [player, ['Exile_Construction_Abstract_Static','AbstractConstruction','Exile_Construction_Flag_Static'], 2.8];

                        if(_nearestObjects isEqualTo [])then

                        {

                            _last_no_glitch_pos = _curpos;

                            _last_no_glitch_vectorDir = vectorDir player;

                            _last_no_glitch_vectorUp = vectorUp player;

                        };

                    };

It’s not as easy as changing “player” to “CAmanbase”, right?

No. Player is an object. "CAManBase" a string (class) used as kind of object.

You need to define on which units you want to apply the code.

Do you mean OPFOR, East, West, etc.? Or specifically naming units (unit1, unit2), etc.? - If this were the case, I am not sure how I would do that using a dynamic AI spawner like A3XAI.

You should learn the basics of scripting. You can't mix side, objects, strings, arrays,...

So, for each command, learn the syntax. Start with isTouchingGround

Yes, I know you are right. I need to slow down and stop getting ahead of myself; taking on projects that are much too big for me as a newbie. @wogz187 has been telling me the same thing but I've been much too excited to stop reverse-engineering things. I need to slow down, for sure.
