I'm learning to AIScript, and I'm having some problems. I made an extremely simple script to get myself going, and its already screwed up.
1) The computer acts strangely and sends its marines on random paths. It does not attack when I tell it to.
2) It freezes (yes freezes, not crashes) sometime in the process. It is my belief that it happeneds around the second set of "attack commands" but before the loop.
The modified script is the "terran campaign easy" script.
I will attach the MPQ, and the AIscript.bin.

...why not just give us the decompiled text file, it would help alot more (too lazy to extract it from the mpq then script 
)

Didn't AI scripts cease to work after 1.12 or something? IskatuMesk never got them to work properly, and he's the AI god...
The BW AI Project has some sort of launcher to make modified AIs possible I belive... Try to downgrade to 1.10 or something and see if it works better...

Things I noticed that might be mistakes:
1. custom name - I don't think your allowed to use symbols/extra characters in it. (remove comma)
2. I havn't heard of a bunch of these commands yet (like "start_campaign"), are you sure you're not making them up?

start_campaign shows that its starting a campaign map, and it should expect to have preplaced units, or something like that... And those were all there before I started. I just assumed they were necessary and went with it.
No idea what defaultbuild_off or default_min 0 are.
What do you suggest I use as headers?

I'm not really sure, that's a question you'd have to ask them

That doesn't explain the way it acts. Play it and you'll understand... You'll have to make a map for it, unless you want me to attach mine... Which I suppose I could... One moment... (I did the same, but the map is still in the other post )

It's most likely from the extra headers you're using, you should never use a header when you don't know it's function.

I think the campaign header is just if you want to use campaign scripts, like the give_money or whatever and the nukepos.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by TERRAINFIGHTER on 2006-08-08 at 10:53:01
I think it's causing your problems, try removing the extra headers and make it build another supply depot where it's needed and during the attack block to see if it runs any smoother

Same problems... I don't get what's going wrong.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by TERRAINFIGHTER on 2006-08-08 at 12:04:42
I think I know the problem, there's differant types of attack orders to order the units to attack differant ways,
and you didn't pick one so it's just using the default

I think I pretty much have the code fixed up (thanks, DoA), but I'm having a problem compiling my AIScript... I press the button, the little bar thing pops up for a tenth of a second and then dissapears, and nothing else happens.
Here's the code, by the way:

sometimes SCAIEdit has problems with compiling the AIScripts if they're too big (in total, not seperate files).
are you editing a file that was shorter than that one?

That's probably it. But yeah, I got it to work 
I have made a total of 3 successful AIScripts (one of each race, hurrah).
If you want to see it, I'll give you my newest one:
Put the map in your maps folder and run the mod, play the map.
Note: It will only work on THAT map.

Oh, I wouldn't rush the comp. I didn't make it get much defense early on, so its an easy target But it sends pretty big attacks. Well, I guess now I can say:
