Hi there...in the version of DeeZire's AI.ini guide I have (downloaded about three weeks ago) there's an interesting passage about AI Triggers firing through the amount of credits:

E = AITriggerType

4 trigger based on number of Credits held by enemy (min quantity specified by parameter AABBCCDD)

for AABBCCDD it states:

AABBCCDD-EEFFGGHH-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX

· AABBCCDD holds a number (represented by 4 hex bytes, in reverse) for each subsequently specified condition that must be satisfied for the trigger to be fired.

I have two questions about this:
First, is this statement correct anyway? In an older Version of the guide, this parameter "E" is told to be a parameter for the direction from which the attack should take place, and since there are several Westwood-scripts having "E"="4" but "AABBCCDD"="00000000", it sounds a bit more logical...?

Second, the main, important question:
(represented by 4 hex bytes, in reverse)...this is what I need help with; how is this actually ment? If I want the trigger to fire at 10,000 credits, for example, what would I type? I have tried to convert numbers using a hex-editor, but the result was rather confusing:
- Simply writing into the hex-code would bring the result that 9999 credits would be the highest value that can be reached (39393939 in hex = 9999 in decimal)
- Using the base converter would create "typical" hex-code with letters in it
(example "unsigned long": 0000270f = 9999)

And even if I found out the correct conversion method, how would I "reverse" it?
(i.e. on which side would the number start and would I reverse every byte on it's own or simply flip the whole expression?)

Could somebody please help me with this? I have no idea what to do (or try)... :/

It is rather hard to read that string isn't it?

Try this:

FA2 should be able to create the string for you, but double-check what it has written in case it corrupts the trigger.

I managed ai triggers by cloning existing ones. First time they didnt work when i gave them changed hex id. Then i copy and paste ai trigger id's from dz's ai triggers and got some of them working.

Anyway, thx cannis for such a cool idea. cheers.

Thanx very much guys, especially Cannis...seems like everythig works fine now...didn't now that FA2 as a complete AI-Editor inside...

the AI taskforce can be created as you said, can be fired at credits.

it is like you will add and image of unloading image of a harvester (CMON and HORV) in an entry of w/c it will cause the Computer AI to create a taskforce..

so when a harvester unloads at a refinery, the AI will trigger a creation of a certain taskforce..

Wow...that should give an active AI...
Thanx again...I'll try this, too...
