Hello i was wondering how you would add a new AI for a ship loaded into quickbattle. I tried changing the "AIstring" In the ship hardpoint but it did not load up the new AI, it stuck with normal fedattack. Help is appreciated, thanks; )

You could set up some kind of trigger, and then apply the new AI to the ship much as one would apply it for a ship in a mission... The only difficulty there is in finding an appropriate trigger

I heard there was a way of doing it through foundation, any ideas?

You will have to change the 3rd field of the "friendlyDetails" and the "enemyDetails" of your ship plugin.

Look at the last lines of your ship plugin and you will see what I mean.

I am not 100% sure what you mean... do you mean the ship.py file in the custom/scripts/ships folder?

scripts/Custom/Ships yeah.

That's where the ship plugins usually are.

Ok, say you want to give the Sovereign an ai called "UTurnAI" then you do this:

Code:

Foundation.ShipDef.Sovereign.friendlyDetails[2] = "UTurnAI" Foundation.ShipDef.Sovereign.enemyDetails[2] = "UTurnAI"

Atleast, this should do the trick as far as Foundation is concerned, I'll have to follow it through the scripts when I find the time.
