As some of you may already guessed, I'm trying to create a new improved AI for YR. I've read all of the tutorials concerning AI, but I'm still confused on certain points. I'm having much trouble understanding the structure of AITriggerTypes defined in AIMD.ini. So I would appreciate if someone could answer the following questions.

1. One of the parameters has a structure :
AABBCCDD-EEFFGGHH-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX, as explained in the documentation. Could someone clarify what this is used for?

2. What is the difference between Weighted, minimum and maximum probability defined in each TriggerType?

3. Are Support TeamTypes actually used by AI? I've never noticed this.

4. I've noticed that not all TeamTypes are used by TriggerTypes. Does that mean that certain Teams are never triggered/used ?

TIA

1. AABBCCDD is a conditional number, EEFFGGHH is a comparison value, XXX... is always zeroes. AABBCCDD is measured in hex. EEFFGGHH can have one of these values:

02000000 = fire the trigger if equal to
01000000 = fire the trigger if less than or equal to
00000000 = fire the trigger if less than

2. Weighted probability - the trigger initially has this probability, everytime it fails to carry out it's script, the probability is reduced. Everytime it succeeds in carrying out it's script, it's probability is increased. Once the probability hits minimum or maximum, it gets disabled. If a trigger has all three probabilities the same, that most probably means it can never complete it's script (attack infantry, repeat until success, attack anything - obviously the only way to complete this script is to defeat the player completely, when you don't have to worry about getting disabled anymore.

3. No idea.

4. They might be used in maps.

Do you already have some version of my AI Editor (points at sig)? It can help you a lot.

Fire the trigger if not equal to ... WHAT ?
What exactly are we comparing here ??
You said that EEFFGGHH is a comparison value, so what is being compared? You basically said what's already in documentation. But I just don't get it. Can you give an example or something? And what do you mean by conditional number?

EDIT: nm. I figured it out. So simple when you use FA2. lol
