For some reason, enemy AI is refusing to garrison the building with code below. They are happy to garrison the other civ buildings such as farm houses, but refusing to play ball with my trenches.

The AI script is pretty simple; below is the subroutine:

If True {
Team <This Team> will move towards the nearest CivTrenchBlock07 within area [Skirmish]MyOuterPerimeter.
Team <This Team> garrison a nearby building.
}

The actual trench code is found below:

Am I missing something fundamental that dictates what can and cannot be garrisoned by AI?

Are you definate that the script is being called from another script sequentially?

[AntiSocialKindaGuy]

Ah - so perhaps I should set a flag on that script that upon completion, which activates a second script with the garrison. I assumed that if the scripts were in that order they WOULD be done sequentially.

I'll give it a shot.

[sc4freak]

No, you need to specifically set it to run another script sequentially. Normally, a script activates all of its commands at once in the same frame. A sequential script waits before the previous action is completed before starting the next.

[AntiSocialKindaGuy]

Aye, this I noticed after posting ( through looking at the Attack Centre Sequentially script ). And it works. So cheers. ^_^
