Let AI fire nuke in singleplayer mission

Post by Boxhead »

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum and eager to ask a question immediately.

So I am working on some OpenRA Red Alert missions for some time now, got everything I wanted working. But now I came across a problem.

In a mission I'm currently scripting I am trying to let the AI fire a nuke. I realized there is no lua function for it so I had a look in the mission "10a: Suspicion" in the OpenRA Resource Center. From what I unterstood I just have add a bot to the player which controlls the nuke in order to let it fire the nuke, but unfortunately it isn't working.

This is what I did so far:

Code: Select all

Added HackyAI in rules.yaml

Code: Select all

	PlayerReference@USSR:
		Name: USSR
		Bot: USSRNukes
		Faction: soviet
		Color: FE1100
		Allies: USSRParas
		Enemies: England, Civilians, Creeps
Added bot to the enemy which is supposed to fire the nuke.

But as I said it isn't working. Did I forget something or am I doing something completely wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working. Solution was to change "Bot: USSRNukes" to "Bot: nuke".
So the bot you set in the player reference has to be equal to the type of the bot not the name.
