How do I make it so that older factions (Crobotech, AAL etc) use the new lua AI? An earlier attempt by myself failed miserably, so I would like to know what lines of code need to be added to make it work. Many thanks!

IF THE ACTOR DOES NOT ALREADY HAVE A LUA SCRIPT ATTACHED TO HIM
(As in, there isn't already a line for him that begins with "ScriptPath"):

Somewhere in the .ini under the main actor's definition, add this line:


And you should be good to go.

If it does, then you'll need to learn how to splice the two .lua files together.

The AI Script only has a function create so really that's the only thing you would need to combine with the actors script.

It also has an UpdateAI function, actually, so you'd need to copy that, too.

Well that's the line of code I tried copying across to start with, but CC would crash without leaving a crash dump. The actor in question didn't have a script attached beforehand, so I'm not sure what is going wrong.

Edit: Nvm, it's decided to work now. Cheers anyway!
