Modding Help!!

[SuiCidAl-KiSmEt]

Modding is in somewhat of a decline, it seems nobodies interested in doing it anymore.
IM INTRESTED IN MODDING. Ya, I do need a new hobby. Anyway, I’ve been using that "scaiedit31" (the one that makes your own AI script for computer players). I made a test Ai for the terran computer, but I’ve been having some trouble for the last 3 hours. During the game it creates a Refinery when I didn’t ask it to, and it never makes SCVs not even 1. It just doesn’t do anything after it builds an Engineering Bay. Here’s the code:

script_name SCR Terran test
script_id UNTL

start_town


; Write your script code here
wait 100
build 1 scv 90
build 1 supply_depot 80
build 1 scv 80
build 1 engineering_bay 80
build 4 missile_turret 80
:loop
build 1 supply_depot 80
build 2 scv 80
build 1 barracks 80
;Add more defeanse***
build 1 missile_turret 80
;Build more units***
Train 8 marine
;Attack with Marines***
Attack_add 8 marine
attack_prepare
goto loop

Also, why it builds turrets so soon, its becouse in my mod, I made the turret able to attack ground to, so its like a defence. Can anyone here help me on this?

You should consider using priority 80 instead of 90. With the release of 1.11, some of the AI commands do not work correctly. You can consider using the macro that comes with the program, !build.

You must have a space in between blocks. Whenever you use :Whatever it is consider a block.

You also need some wait build commands. E.G. 'wait_build 1 engineering_bay'. It will require the engineering bay to be finished before it builds the turrets.

You build commands are also incorrect. Once you have one 'build 1 scv' then you command one scv. Then you must use 'build 2 scv' then you will have TWO scvs, not THREE. The number determines how many scvs that computer will have. It also applies to any other unit.

It is completely different from triggers, where as you can have multiple create 1 scv.

Below I have corrected your AI. You should compare it to your original one and learn from what was changed.

IM INTRESTED IN MODDING.I exaggerated the "nobody" part, however I recall modding used to be a lot more popular. My favourite TC's never got finished :(

[Dezzick]

I used to like modding, but when sc started to run something like, 0.5 Fps, I quit. I still have a back up of my main mods though. I'll start once I can find a way to get teh web working on my new comp.

[Yoshi_da_Sniper]

Say, how much space is each of your mods on average?

I give a little hosting until some of the modding sites come back up.

It depends of if the mod has sound and graphic changes or not.

Without graphic they never pass 500 kilobyte, and mostly are just 100k.
But with graphic they can reach over 2 megs.

Thanks StealthyDeath, honestly I thought no one would answer it, I just had a feeling that no one knows about Ai editing these days.

Actually the one that links them all together is "Starcraft.exe" -.-

[Yoshi_da_Sniper]
