Hi! I have three questions, please be descriptive.

1. Is there any way to make Computer build this building or unit that I want him to build? If yes how?
2. Is there any way to make him build something when I want? If yes how?
3. Is there any way to make him build something where I want? If yes how?



None.

Yes to all, but only in a roundabout sort of way. You cannot directly manipulate AIs and tell them what to do. What you CAN do, however, is make your own AI via triggering.

It's a little too complicated to go into detail here, but you should take a look at this for examples. Essentially, you detect certain conditions based on the computer's resources, deaths, etc. and then subtract resources and create a unit based on a death count timer. A greatly simplified version of what laffo16 did in his ZvT map would probably accomplish all three of your goals.



None.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
