This might not be the place to put this question, but here goes:
How does one have friendly units in a scenario move independently of the player? I have tried setting up a separate AI team and that doesn't work (yet, anyway -- the player can still move his units.) Maybe there is another list of AI teams for friendly units that I can't find.

I want to have certain friendly units move toward objectives regardless of what the player wants to do with them. Suggestion?

thanks- scenario design is turning out to be fun!

Set a human and an AI player to be in the same team and another AI in the "enemy" team/alliance. There are many stock scens using that mechanic you can look into for reference. Like the last one of WinterWar DLC (with the Soviet "friends")

Ah! Thank you!

Uh-Oh -- Can you have some US units assigned to human and others assigned to AI?

Yes, you can add a faction multiple times.

Thanks -- Could I impose upon you to show a screen shot of the proper Alliances settings to assign elements from a single faction to both AI and Human? So sorry to bother but it's making me crazy... I'm probably not holding my lips right!

I would send you one of mine but none of them work, and I can't figure out how to look at the guts of a scenario I didn't download.

Something like this?


Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not designing scens very often.

Thanks, Uran.

That gives me something to work with!

Where is Uran

Norway Scenario (Blitzkrieg) :

Ooops! Sorry Mr Gabeknight and Terminator... Thanks for taking so much time out to help. I think I'm starting to get it but not yet -- still trying. Thanks again!

conboy

Thanks, all. I got it to work but it seems that one human cannot control two factions. I'll keep working around that issue.

thanks again!

Thanks, GabeKnight, for the clarification and your patience.

Here is the way I ended up doing it, almost by accident, and it matches your post. Now first-time scenario producers have two examples of two humans in a scenario. My problem was I had too many columns. I think... anyway here it is. It shows the Americans (human and AI) and British (AI only) fighting the Germans (AI only). Now first-time scenario makers have two examples of two human-controlled factions in a scenario.

Thanks again -
