AI not capturing oil derricks in Zero Hour

Beeone · 11-13-2003, 11:30 AM

I recently created a map on which I have some oil derricks. Now for some reason the AI doesn't try to capture any of them, even though it does go to the supply docks I placed outside the base areas. So what is it that needs to be done so the AI understands it can capture them? I tried looking on some official maps but couldn't find any differences in the oil derricks' options.

Place the Oil Derricks inside the CombatZone...not outside of it. It will not capture any tech buildings placed in any other zone.

All of the oil derricks are in the CombatZone though..so I don't think that's the problem.

I talked to some guy on Gamespy arcade who SEEMED like he knew about these things, and he said you have to execute some scripts so the AI understands to capture the derricks. But if the AI understands to go to the supply docks, then why not the oil derricks? Why does everything have to be so difficult... :dead:

I don't know what ure doing but in the maps i've made the AIs are capturing all tech structures that i've placed. Maybe its the patch (i've 1.02 patch of ZH and 1.07 for Generals)
