Ok, I created 2 new sides for ZH and they work great but now I would like to implement some AI for them. My question is, how do I get my units/structures/etc. to show up in the object list in the paper work folder?

The if true condition looks something like this for example... Tank add mynewtank and when you click on the 'mynewtank' part (where you put in your new unit or whatever) it brings up a list of all the sides/units/structures/etc. but my 2 sides are not in the list and you can't (at least that I've seen) manually type them in.

I'm completely new to the scripting side, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

hmmm... I remember posting on a similar question not so long ago...

but anyways, check out the tutorials at this site, they are very helpful

Heh, thanks for the reply Silent but SDI was actually the first place I looked. I posted the same question on their forums but nobody has been able to give me a straight answer yet. :cry: Their tutorial was very helpful as well.....I just need to get this straightened out.

This is a strange problem... when I added Russia as a new faction it showed up just fine... :/

the only thing I can think of is if you didn't add SkirmishYourFaction to the players list

Hmm...well I did indeed add my new faction to the player list so that's not the problem. Obviously I did SOMETHING wrong though so I'll go mess with it some more....I just wasn't sure if the new sides were supposed to show up in the list automatically or not but now that I know they should I can narrow down my search for where I went wrong.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head would be if you have to keep the same name when you add the new skirmish player as it is in the 'side =' part of the playertemplate.ini. Would this make a difference?

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly an expert scripter... I don't know much beyond whats in the tutorials at SDI

However, the way I did it was I gave the skirmish player for my Russia faction the name SkirmishRussia

you should also check your PlayerTemplate.ini, cause it really should show up... if you copied and pasted the info maybe you forgot to rename the side
