OK, I have set up an enemy AI. It produces Nuke Launchers which then hunt and replaces them when destroyed. I haven't set up attack priorities or object lists so the nuke launcher chooses the nearest unit for its target.

What I need to know is- how do I have the nuke launcher set it's ammo to either conventional nukes or neutron shells depending on the type of target? I know about object lists, attack priorities and the use command button ability but how do I set up scripts that detect the chosen target for shell selection?

Thanks

That may be very hard too do... I'd suggest looking at the Ranger scripts; he sometimes switches to FB when attacking garrisond structures.

There is a condition under 'Unit' >>> 'Sighted' that could do the job...

*** IF ***
[???] Unit '???' sees a(n) '???' belonging to Player '???'.
*** THEN ***

Do you mean AmericaInfantry.ini or in-map scripts?

The 'unit sighted' scripts only apply to those in sight of the nuke launcher not its chosen target but I think if I use this with attack priorities, it will work. However the nuke launcher will probably attack units on the edge of its sight range and so wander in range of base defenses.

Put it as a generic script, not 'Unit' >>> 'Sighted'.
