Modding question about AI (aip's files)

[qwerty24]

Hello again. Now i would like to ask to someone who's expert in modding to answer to one question.

I inserted a new unit into the game but the AI does't create that new unit of course.....i know i have to insert new strings into Eco_AirEpoch Imp_AirEpoch  and Mil_AirEpoch. In those files there is a line like this: // (name), (priority), (hints), (block?), (min desired count), (max desired count), (max build count)    that defines the means of the values under that. Apart from "name", "priority" and "hints", i don't understand the following values and how they affected the game....

Somene can help me?

Block =

// blocking can have 3 values
// YES means it always blocks
// NO means it never blocks
// NOTTECH means it doesn't block because of tech, just resources, producers, etc.
// TERRCLAIMED means we only block if we do not already own the territory
// NOTISLANDS means don't even try on islands maps

min desired count, max desired count, max build count:

int m_block; // shall we block on this element?
int m_desiredCountMin; // min number of instances of this type to maintain at this step
int m_desiredCountMax; // max number of instances of this type to maintain at this step
int m_buildMax; // maximum number of units to build from this element

More details are in file: AipStructures.h

Maybe you have to #define the new unit in other files?
Defines are usually in .h files.

But I'm not sure because I've never done it before
Player: "DomDom" was scripting AIP files, so he may know the answer. I sent him the link to this topic by skype. Let's see if he can help.

Thank you very much Leader! I will try to change some values and see what happens....i hope DomDom will answer.

Thank you again, my friend!

Hey! Nice that someone still cares for scripting and ee2 . Indeed i worked much with aip files. I'm also not sure how it effects. But i know the name is the unitname as you write it in scripts like "Lightinfantry1". The priority means HOW IMPORTANT this unit is, when Heavy Artillery has a priority of 99,9 and light infantry 95,9 and the rest lower they will care the most for the ones with the highest priority, but hints i can't remember in the aip files. I tried once to create a KI HARDEST to build like pros. But they didn't like to. If they would they would own mona XD. Thats all i know

Thank you mate! Unfortunately, my doubts are only on the last 3 values (min desired count), (max desired count), (max build count).
