Default Re: question for ai modders

The AI builds according to the spaces per 1. I use the external missile mod for components, but felt only 1 could be justified per ship, so I added the only 1 per vehicle restrictiion - worked good for human players, but found AI still building multiples. For external missiles I gave it a weapons type of 52, put it as the secondary weapon and then changed the spaces per 1 to 10000. The AI will only build 1. If I change the spaces per 1 to 100, the AI will build many and violate the one per vehicle restriction. Anything that is controled by spaces per 1, I think the AI can violate the only 1 per vehicle restriction - like maybe the extra movement components. Engines are controlled differently and I do not think the AI can violate the limits.

As a secondary weapon, I put the external mount missiles on most all AI vehicles. It gives most ships at least one chance to do a lot of damage before dying.
