	SLIC - Automatic Enslavement Remove this text

I was thinking that individual slic trigger should be discussed in separate thread then mixing it up all in one thread to reduce confusion...I getting confuse now. Anyway, Locutus this is for you.

I am actually having the idea to automatically enslave an enemy settler upon sighted by own slaver (Hope you can understand my sentence).

The following trigger have not been tested yet.

code:

// Auto Settler Enslavement

TypeUnit enemyunit;

Trigger 'AutoEnslave' when (player.sightedunit && (unit == UnitType("UNIT_SETTLER))
&& IsSlaver(unit.2) && IsHumanplayer(player)) {  // This line is continous of the above.
  SetOrder(31, ENSLAVE_SETTLER);
  AddOrder(unit.2, unit.location);
}

Hi Dreamer,
I understand what you are trying to say. I also see that the trigger hasn't been tested, here's a better one:

code:

Trigger 'AutoEnslave' when (player.sightedunit && IsHumanplayer(g.player) && unit.type == UnitType("UNIT_SETTLER") ) {
     SetOrder(1, 31); //Enslave Settler
     AddOrder(unit.2, unit.location);
}

Locutus,

I'm just wondering why your SetOrder(1, 31); is different from my SetOrder(31, ENSLAVE_SETTLER);?

Well, the first number in setorder must be 1, I don't know if you can replace the second number by a name. It works with launch but not with entrench/fortify. You will just have to try that to find out.

I don't really understand why you want slaver's able to capture settlers alone,
I always have a military unit along. Anyway, the easy
solution is to make the slaver a military unit.

Locutus,

I got that exact error when I was messing around with the For..Loop. Never did know what it was telling me. As I changed syntax and codes around, it changed back and forth from that error to just saying 'syntax error'. If I run into it again, I will pay more attention to what specifically sets it off.


All,
I don't think you want the slaver a military unit. It has unpredictable results. I was playing around one time and made the Cow and Settler military units. The AI then started using the Cow in place of the real military units. I think this was because it was cheaper and the AI could crank more out. Don't know for sure. I stopped playing around with it.

Mark,
You could test this out and let us know how it works. I would be interested in the results.
