help. i made a new map with AI and i compiled it. but when i play it, the ai don't spwn. why?

i just did what i did to all the other maps i made. i ticked the respawn AI button and i just you know put the starting places for the AI and choose how many i want to spawn in a squad and so-on

make a script to make them spawn.

(ai_place <ai>)

replacing the <ai> with the name of the encounter.

um.. this is a multiplayer map not a single player one and i never had to do that with my other maps. but why is this map not spawning

scripts still work. Just do the same as you would for an SP.

Then why have AI? they don't sync, you know.

oh ok. i'll try the script thing. but what would i put to make both teams respawn?

multiple commands for each encounter.

So i just put

(ai_place )
(ai_place )

right?

(script startup dumbai

(ai_place firstencounter)
(ai_place secondencounter)

)

you'll need an ai_place command for each encounter in the map.

what does dumbai mean? and are those 1 space or like 2 or 3 spaces? and does the ) in the end mean the script ended? and if i do this, do they respawn like how i set them in sapien?

its all one space, and dumbai is just the script name, it can be anything you want. The firstencounter and secondencounter will have to be replaced by the actual encounter names, and if you have more than two encounters just copy and paste the (ai_place ) line and fill in the name.

k thanks. o ya one more thing. does the script have to be a .txt file?

EDIT: is there a space after the (? like is it (something) or ( something )

its ([nospace]something[space]something[nospace])

although i don't know if it matters.

And the scripts have to be saved as .hsc types, in your data folders under the corresponding directory in a scripts folder.
