Army deploy for computer players online! - Age of Mythology Heaven Forums

Yes - I have found a way to do it although it will require some small trigger adjustments. Basically those "hidden" armies which are from 0 to 9 which exist for every player work for comps if you want to army deploy as them online. Therefore we can now have proper amy deploy for computer players online but with some trigger adjustments!

I need to go right now but I can soon get some adjusted army triggers which will work for comps online and post them here and you can install them. Also I will update my trigger downloads too.

Here are the army trigger conditions and effects. Note army 10 DOES NOT work. All the others should. I used the players dropdown box to be quicker)

   <Condition name="Army Distance to Unit for comps online">
      <Param name="SrcArmy" dispName="$$22348$$Army" VarType="player">0</Param>
      <Param name="Player" dispName="Player" VarType="player">1</Param>

      <Command>trArmySelect("%Player%,%SrcArmy%");</Command>
      <Expression>trUnitDistanceToUnit("%DstObject%") %Op% %Dist%</Expression>
   </Condition>

I didn't fix the bug. Basically - there are 10 armies that are ulready defined but you are not normally able to use. Some say which sounds the best explanation that they are used for the grouping banners. However it does not seem to affect them with my tests. The only evidence I have to support this is the group banner summoning trick were if you add to an army group it wipes out the army the unit was in. (Well that is what it seems to do)

These triggers basically used hese already defined armies and for some reason these also work fine for computer players too. Each player has 10 of these armies numbered from 0 to 9 which is why army 10 in the dropdown box for this trigger does not work. I have no idea why army deploy for comps online only works for these armies. The only explanation I can think of is that the armies you define for computers get undefined or not defined properly if the player is a computer.

Anyway, here you go!
