AI Issue

[Makinus]

The AI remembers me of an alien empire in a sci-fi novel, where the Aliens are extremely advanced, have much more systmes than humankind, huge fleets and dominate the human race but are only capable of focusing in the "now", being incapable of thinking too far (they do a little) in terms of future and past, and are incapable to imagine that some humans are thinking and planning a rebellion a few decades in the future...

call Sys_Set_AI_Storage_Long(sys_long_Player_ID, 1, 1, gbl_ai_state_attack_system)

To restate my question in more of a computer language than an interpersonal one:

I would like to use a couple AI_Storage registers; one to hold the date of plan activation, one to hold the step number in a masterplan sequence. Sort of a mini-state within the state machine. Then I would call an indexed set of functions based on step number.

Sys_Set_AI_Storage_Long: boolean
plr_index: long
elem_index: long
list_index: long
new_long: long

Sys_Get_AI_Storage_Long: long
plr_index: long
elem_index: long
list_index: long

What elements and lists are available/in use? Can I just make them up?
