Normal Dude's Decision Scripts

[Edwin P.]

I am posting some of Normal Dude's decision scripts as they show modders how to use the garrison script to create a decision tree.

Essentially - these scripts garrison a tile. Other Plan scripts check for the presence of a unit in these tiles. If a unit is found the plan (offensive or amphibious) activates.

They work fairly well for limited situations, a good interim measure until we get global variables.

These decision scripts can even be two-tiered. I have an Axis med attack plan on hold where a second set of decision scripts are activated from a garrison occupying the Med decision tile. These allow the AI to randomly choose between a land attack, or an amphib hit on Syria, but ONLY if the first tile was activated. That one is on hold though, as the AI doesnt know how to protect the amphibs yet.

And of course, the inevitable question, "what if someone accidently moves on that tile?" I haven't had that happen yet, I just choose remote tiles near a city that the AI never sends troops to, or plops down purchases. Since the scripts are Type 0 and are only checked once, past the given date the tile is free for occupying.
