@penguin_ Wow, It seems that you created a new AI for the map of Twin Cities. I wonder if it is possible for extra amies to call the original AI codes?
OK， I think I already solved this problem. Thank everyone for helping me.
@penguin_ Wow, It seems that you created a new AI for the map of Twin Cities. I wonder if it is possible for extra amies to call the original AI codes?
I have created a huge map which is 80km² and I want more than 8 players on my map. So I placed many units including COMMAND UNITs,ENGINEERS, TANKs and so on for the ARMY_9 and Neutral Civilian which is set as enemy in the game options. But why do they just not work? the units of ARMY_9 will not appear on the game totally, and the units of Neutral Civilian will appear but just stand still and do noting.
How to solve this problem? Is it possible for ARMY_9+ or Neutral Civilian to be manipulated by AI?
@jip said in [Another question]How do those different types of layer work on game?:
You'd need to do that in a mod, but that is possible yes. If you want to take that road you're better off asking in #modding-general on the official discord. Make sure to give yourself the modder role in #role-selection. There's a lot more activity on Discord
Thanks for advising!
@jip said in [Another question]How do those different types of layer work on game?:
Technically they can also influence the movement speed, or any other unit property. There is a engine callback when a unit switches terrain type. The game just doesn't make use of it
is there a code that could make one unit's movement speed related with some terrain type. For example, one unit will slow down on rockyland and speed up on grassland.could it be realized by editing script.lua?
@madmax said in [Another question]How do those different types of layer work on game?:
they produce different effects on the ground like dust and footprints the ones with the red circle symbol are blocking types it is all defined in terraintypes.lua
Thank you, Sir! It is a professional answer.
May they effect on the speed of units moving through on them? I am not sure, who knows the answer?

Thank you for helping buddy
,you are so kind
@rowey said in I need some help for the script.lua of my map:
Majority use Visual Studio Code for development as that's what our Intelisense is created for
OK, I have installed Visual Studio Code, can you tell me where to download the "Intelisense plugin"? I cannot wait to try it.
@rowey said in I need some help for the script.lua of my map:
What code editor are you using as we do have a Intelisense plugin that's being worked on for faf which is located on the faforever GitHub
I use SciTE. Do you have a better choice?
@magge said in I need some help for the script.lua of my map:
The code style is just all messy in this forum. Just use pastebin.com to share your code. Or even better, GitHub.
hey buddy! Do you have any idea of my codes? I don't know what's wrong with them
Just give me some tips.Thanks so much
@magge Hi buddy, I have shared it on GitHub. Do me a favor please

or give me some examples, I will try to study them
I want to write a string of code to achieve some function like this: if one of my units reach the area-A, other units of mine can warp from area-B to area-C.
I know how to use warp(), but I don't know how to write those
Conditional statements for I am not professional in programming. Anybody would like to help me?
