Slitherine

hi,

Yesterday I purchased battle academy off steam and after completing the North African Campaign I decided to try the editor.

I am half way through my map and I am beginning to add units and VP points.

After 4 VP's have been captured by the player, I want a few reinforcements to enter the battle, but I do not know how to do reinforcements.

Could someone please tell me how to do Reinforcements and maybe how to do counter-attacks.

Thank you

Ben McGregor

I think I answered your query on the Steam forums? If not then I will be happy to answer it here

You can't do reinforcements directly via and editor tool - you'll need to script them. There isn't an example that specifically shows how to do reinforcements, but I would suggest taking a look at the template project below, and then looking at some of the game mission scripts (such as DDay in CAMPAIGNS/2Normandy/Scenarios/dday.bsf)

the game wiki is here

and some good tips on setting up Notepad++ etc are part of it here:

Any more questions let me know. The Slitherine forums also contain a lot of modders who might have helpful hints!

As Pip said, read those site first.

When you have dug into coding in the .bsf files (you will find what that means here soon enough. ) My preferred method is:

"
FUNCTION AlliedReinforcements (force)
{
int facing;
int id;
int loadedid;

facing = 4;
if ( GetTurn() == 6 )
{
PlaceUnit(50, 70, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 71, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 72, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 73, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 74, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 75, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 76, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 77, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 78, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(50, 79, facing, 0, 0, "british_truck");
PlaceUnit(51, 70, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 71, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 72, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 73, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 74, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 75, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 76, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 77, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 78, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(51, 79, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(49, 70, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(49, 71, facing, 0, 0, "COMMANDO");
PlaceUnit(49, 72, facing, 0, 0, "CDOVICKERS");
PlaceUnit(49, 73, facing, 0, 0, "CDOVICKERS");
PlaceUnit(49, 74, facing, 0, 0, "CDOVICKERS");
PlaceUnit(49, 75, facing, 0, 0, "CDOMORTAR");
PlaceUnit(49, 76, facing, 0, 0, "CDOMORTAR");
PlaceUnit(49, 77, facing, 0, 0, "CDOMORTAR");
PlaceUnit(49, 78, facing, 0, 0, "British_leader");
PlaceUnit(49, 79, facing, 0, 0, "Airborne_jeep");
}
if ( GetShowSide() == GetCurrentSide() )
{
AddVizCamCenter(50, 73);
ShowUIScreenX( "BattleHead0", "Anim1", "IDS_REINF", "BHead0Image:us_tanker_head") ;
}

}

hi,

thanks for all the replies.

For the reinforcements do i need to place the unit on the map or do I just have to type this into notepad and the unit will pop up?


Thanks

The latter.
