Additional AI resources

[steammagic]

You did a tremendous amount of work in the scenario gs files (as elsewhere), ManTera.

This one concerns the formula used for the AI buildings and you have indicated

getdifficultylevel MEDIUM_LEVEL eq{p{BUILDING_EXPERIENCE 4 6 gamerand 100 mul 0 1 gamerand 1 eq{75 add}{50 add}ifelse setbuildingdata}enumplayerbuildings}if

How does this work?-- it seems to be some sort of random dynamic varible going on

wheras the patched game has it:
p{BUILDING_EXPERIENCE 350
setbuildingdata}enumplayerbuildings

Where here it just seems to add 350 experience to the building

getdifficultylevel MEDIUM_LEVEL eq{p{BUILDING_EXPERIENCE 4 6 gamerand 100 mul 0 1 gamerand 1 eq{75 add}{50 add}ifelse setbuildingdata}enumplayerbuildings}if

It is a very dynamic of randomi values.

4 6 gamerand: random number between 4 and 6.

100 mul: multiply by 100.

At this point we have 400, 500, or 600 experience in the building.

0 1 gamerand 1 eq: if a random number between 0 and 1 is equal to 1, then we'll take the first set.

First set is 75. Second set is 50.

All possible experience set for Buildings on medium difficulty.
400 + 75 = 475
400 + 50 = 450
500 + 75 = 575
500 + 50 = 550
600 + 75 = 675
600 + 50 = 650

Each building will be calculated individually due to randomization of numbers.


Does this help you any?

This is great stuff, I was looking thru the mpq editing guide and just couldn't quite figure it out, these examples help and should be added to the guide.

thank you
