how to make AI build more than 1 superweap?

i noticed the AI by default only builds 1 superweapon? anyone figured out how to script it to build more than 1?

i think you can change it in INI/Default/AIData

Code:

    Structure AmericaParticleCannonUplink
      Location = X:594.59 Y:635.72
      Rebuilds = 0
      Angle = -45.00
      InitiallyBuilt = No
      AutomaticallyBuild = No
    END ;Structure AmericaParticleCannonUplink

    Structure ChinaNuclearMissileLauncher
      Location = X:386.33 Y:697.79
      Rebuilds = 0
      Angle = 135.00
      InitiallyBuilt = No
      AutomaticallyBuild = No
    END ;Structure ChinaNuclearMissileLauncher
    Structure GLAScudStorm
      Location = X:337.72 Y:593.68
      Rebuilds = 0
      Angle = -135.00
      InitiallyBuilt = No
      AutomaticallyBuild = No
    END ;Structure GLAScudStorm
    Structure AirF_AmericaParticleCannonUplink
      Location = X:536.20 Y:442.56
      Rebuilds = 0
      Angle = 45.00
      InitiallyBuilt = No
      AutomaticallyBuild = No
    END ;Structure AirF_AmericaParticleCannonUplink

Those define the structures, try adding more in the ini file. That should help some. There are others BTW, about another 8 or so.

if youre playing zh, if you play on hard then the ai does it automatically.

From looking at that ini file it looks like it shows what the max of each building it can have but not sure since the SW buildings are only listed once for each faction. I hope by adding more code for the buildings that they do build more since I wanna make the hard computer more challenging.

not really guyee, it'll only build 1 superweap on normal AI, and the specialized Generals won't even build a single one... funnee...

You can make the AI build as many superweapons as you want it to. The only problem is the ai fires the weapon through scripting as well. This means that in the event that two or more superweapons are ready at the same time they go crazy because the scripting is only designed to handle one of that type of object at a time.

The only way around this that I know of is you have to create a duplicate of the building object as well as it's corresponding superweapon code in the inis and change their names. This is needed for each superweapon you want the ai to build. Through this method the scripts access each object and superweapon code seperately and thus won't have problems firing even when multiple objects are ready at the same moment. As you can see this requires alot of effort just to get the ai to build two working superweapons.

A simpler method may be possible in zero hour but I haven't researched into that yet.
