attacking or garrisoning a building

[Drizzt DoUrden]

ok, i found that file. thanks.

A Note On Structure Numbers
When used in ScriptTypes, the structure number takes any of several formats and is derived by finding the structure in the [BuildingTypes] list of RULES(MD).INI and subtracting ONE from this structures' number in that list (equivalent to renumbering the list from 0) - this is the explicit number of that structure and is the number to use as the second parameter of the action. Any one of several amendments can be made to this number;-

- add 131072 to the number, so GAPOWR (number 1 in RULES(MD).INI thus number 0 for this purpose) becomes 131072

- add 196608 to the number, so GAPOWR (number 1 in RULES(MD).INI thus number 0 for this purpose) becomes 196608

- add 65534 to the number, so GAPOWR (number 1 in RULES(MD).INI thus number 0 for this purpose) becomes 65534

It has not been determined what significance or effect the different numbering systems have (if any). Changing them at random appears to have no effect although it is thought that there is additional logic attached to them.


i guess you were referring to this. what i do not understand is how to make the computer garrison buildings. i put the 64,0 in the aimd, but they just go to attack. like the paratroopers, they drop and attack even if they were drop a ways from the nearest enemy instead of garrison. the number 1 is that referring to the listing of the building?

These are my buildings that are added for a new mod that is in the works. Right now I am trying to get the Americans working first. Did I correctly modify the AIMD file? (Included)
