i am making a new AI map and it works out pretty well in sapien. but when i compile it, and play it on halo ce, the ai dont spawn for some reason. help me please. ( plz tell me some way to fix this without scripting. too hard)

You already have a topic for this. Did you set the AI to respawn enabled, and make sure the not initially created box is unchecked?

yes i did all this. it shows up in sapien but doesnt in the compiled map

First of all, use this command in devmode:

ai_place [encounter] 

to spawn your AI. So if your AI encounter's name was 'covvies', the command would be

ai_place covvies 

do i have to do that everytime i play? and do they follow the command lists and the squad informatios i gave them in sapien?. and do they respawn?

You could script it into the map.

If they don't then yes. And they will follow command lists and respawn (if you set them to)

k thnz i'll try it

one more thing. what do i type to make 2 teams spawn and in what do i type the script in? a .txt file? a word file? what

all of this was resolved in the last thread?

You do the ai place command twice. As for the script, when saving it, do save as, change the thing to all types, and save it as script.hsc in the data\levels\[your level directory]\scripts.

Replace [your level directory] with the directory of your scenario file. So if your scenario is in tags\levels\test\bloodgulch, then save your script in data\levels\test\bloodgulch\scripts.

ok thanks but i know where the compile scripts option is in sapien but how do u like use the script. i know there is a script thing where you can press new encounter on but what do i do from there. how do i make sure the script is compiled into the scenario

Oh, I just realized. Don't do this in a script. Do it ingame, in devmode.

like i want to release this i dont think people will like entering devmode when they play this. and most gamers dont have devmode. they just play. is there a way to fix the problem except using scripts of devmode? like wats wrong with my scenario

Nothing is wrong jeeze.. I have a script that will help.. hold on. you don't type it in, in devmode. All you have to do is check some flags in sapien make a encounter and place a trigger volume. Ask polamee for help.

This isn't for final. This is for testing. I want to see if you set up the AI encounter correctly. If they don't spawn at all, then I know the problem. If they spawn only when you put in this command, then I know the problem. And @ pakar, this is what Polamee said to do.

sorry i ddint post for a while, i was on vacation. and my encounter names are UNSC and Covenant but when i type ai_place UNSC or ai_place Covenant in the devmode, it doesn't spwn

Yea, they aren't set up. Did you set the initial difficulty, or return difficulty to something greater than 0?

what is that called again i forgot. where do i set the difficulty i forgot

The encounter.
Or was it the squad..
Just check.. I think its the latter
