AIFindDropAttackTarget() always returning false?
« on: April 11, 2010, 07:30:22 AM »
When I try to control the drop attack function, I notice this strange phenomenon which prevents the AI from using it.

Please let me know if any of you has been successful in using it. Thanks!

What I found in the MeleeAI.galaxy

// for now I'm not counting e_attackState_DropAttack as attacking, it is a specialized attack
    // and not easy for other AI's to coordinate with it

It does not literally means "Drop the attack", funny  :D .

I thought drop attacks only occur when the opponent has no base that doesn't require transports?

Or maybe it returns false if the AI has no transports?

Pretty sure it is a function for the AI to find where it should target its dropattack; that is, finds a base to send a transport with the dropwave's units to perform a drop. It doesn't have to be an island base I think.

And the problem is, the function sometimes return false even if there are good drop-off points in the enemy's base
