Loading programs in user levels - speedyblupi - 03-13-2016
Hello all!
I am almost done with my user level for Colobot Gold, a planet entitled "Sulfuria"
i'm not spoiling anything, but in one of the levels, I gave wasps an attack program, from Colobots Volcano level 2. I did this successfully.
Now i want to simply give some ants a guard/attack program like in Tropica level 3. Except this time, I try to give them the programs, but either they don't even load with a program, or all the ants head towards 0;0 and attack everything in their path. Actually, in my last attempt, the ants did the latter action, ecept in extreme slow motion!
I need help. Could somebody tell me how to properly load an ant program in my level?
Thank you, and I will post the level ASAP!
ps. could somebody tell me how to start a new thread? thanks

Hi
What program exactly are you trying to load? Some default alien programs require you to set their movement paths using cmdline= parameter in scene file, but the exact format varies depending on program.
To create a thread just click on the "Post thread" button in a category view, like this one. I moved this post to a new thread.
PS. Just in case you don't know, if you use the 'selectinsect' cheat in the console (activated by `) you can select the ants and access their programming menu like in any other robot.

Sorry about this! But i figured it out for now.
I was trying to load "antict" into a few ants to guard black box, and attack anything that goes near them. Just like in Tropica 3. I could seem to do it. I had to use a similar but a tiny but slower program of a friend of mine's.
I'll begin to work with the cmdline stuff, and experiment on another scene.
Thanks for the reply!
