Title: Detect if unit is AI or human
Post by: Rocko Bonaparte on 14 Dec 2004, 05:38:46

How could I determine if a unit is AI-controlled or human-controlled in a multiplayer setting?

?myUnit !=player

Is true if unit is AI-controlled.

?myUnit ==player

Is true if unit is under human controll.

?myUnit !=player won't work in a multiplayer environment. This is a multiplayer server script, and hence there is more than one player.  This will only identify with the server's player, if there is one.  Anyhow, it's been moved over to Multiplayer.

um, someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure that the value player is different for every CP on the server.

that mean you can check to see if a player is on the west side and then play a sound:

Code: [Select]

? (side player == west) : playmusic "RTrack10"

I've used "player" in MP-missions several times, to delete all units not under player control. Never encountered any problems with it. Player seems to be a unique term to every machine, not just the server.

I put ?myUnit !=player in a trigger, not a script, btw
