| Summary | 0000846: Train master AI shouldn't be selected when trains are disabled | ||||
| Description | Since the unity engine made trains a separate AI plot that's disabled by default shouldn't the Train Master be taken from the list of random AIs unless that plot got enabled? | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

thats the whole PURPOSE of the train ai, to have trains. If you dont want trains, there is a primitive way of removing it - goto your /aiwar/runtimedata directory, and read disabledaitypes.txt |
|
|
Yep, that enables the trains plot when you put the train master on. As Lancefighter notes, you can take train masters out if you like. |
|
|
Well, in my current game the randomizer gave me a train master but he has no trains because the plot isn't enabled. |
|
|
Are you sure? Can you check the galaxy stats tab? It should have automatically enabled the plot. |
|
|
If I recall, it does the auto-enable check before the randoms are resolved, and thus it would lead to a train master without trains. Am I to understand that the desired behavior is that randoms may lead to the enabling of that plot? |
|
|
I think so, yes. Otherwise you wind up with a crippled train master. As we have more plots that AI players might be tied to, we might see this sort of thing more. The recourse for someone who NEVER wants trains or train masters is to disable the train master. |
|
|
Ok, I just shifted the check code to be during the resolve-random-ai-types step, right after that's done; it also has to call ResetUnitTypes on the affected AI players. |

Great -- thanks! |
