Allied Computer Player tries to use dropship

The computer keeps trying to move the dropship to assist with its troops, but the dropships only purpose is to sit above a beacon to indicate which unit the player is choosing by stepping on the beacon. I currently have a Move trigger keeping him there, but it still moves a few yards before being moved back to the location it should stay at. Is there a way to just annihilate all default AI? If so, I'll have to reinstate some of the AI im sure, as this computer player has turrets and traps that need to be constantly killing enemies to prevent the map from maxing. HALP

it seems like you don't have hyper triggers in your map, which should be added for any map in my opinion, hyper triggers make so the triggers fire about 12 times per second compared to the normal once every 2 seconds. Theirs that or you can maybe give that dropship to player 9-11 after it appears there.
here is a link to what hyper triggers are if you don't know http://www.staredit.net/wiki.php?article=Hyper_Triggers

Actually I do, I have hypers on the enemy computer so that I can control the spawns more accurately and efficiently. However, the rpg is based on mud combos, so I can't add any more triggers to other players. I never thought of player 9, though, that should actually help me with multiple problems, so I will give that a shot it should work thanks.

You can always add triggers to other players. Neutral units have a very basic AI (the same as humans). Player 12 has no AI, so it will never issue an order or attack.

Why don't you set it to a nuetral player (player 12) that way it doesn't keep moving and if sitting there is it's only purpose, then it doesn't harm anything.

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.

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
