Hi all,
This is concerning Lan matches in Battle Mode, I believe it is possible over dedicated servers if wanted but would need code change.
In Lan Multiplayer, the bots' Non Default Groups can be given orders, by the Server and Clients.
Default Groups - 1,2,3 (Infantry, Archers, Cavalry),
Non Default Groups - groups 4 to 9. (grc_infantry to (custom) grc_group3 to grc_group9 ).
Lan Host (Server) has NO problems giving their new groups orders by pressing "Group X Hear Me",
one small problem is the first "Unit Commands / Orders" (bots' Movement/Formation/Weapons) page does not show but works,
the next "Unit Commands / Orders" (Hold Fire /Blunt /2 Ranks /5 Ranks) pages are shown as normal.
Client's key press "Group X Hear Me" not working,
Clients can only give orders to new groups by pressing "Others Key" instead of "Group X Hear Me",
this is annoying and means ALL Non Default Groups follow same orders (not good enough, limits Clients to 4 controllable Groups only),
Client side keypress codes not working to spawn in extra troops if somebody can look at this also please.
I think the problem is Client / Server Events (could be my syntax or slots), would somebody be kind enough to offer or create a solution.
Notes;
Group 9 is not selectable / or gives wall of errors and still works, don't know why tried loads of combinations to no luck,
honestly not the biggest problem here for now and 6/7 groups of 25-40 feels about right.
Tried with and without Troops' IDs pre-assigned under battle / custom template, at ti_on_agent_spawn section
using add_visitors_to_current_scene - eg Swadian Militia group 1, Swadian Footman group 2, Swadian Infantry group 3 etc.
Can someone please look at or edit / write the code to make this possible, I am stuck still with this now,
will give credits when posting to O.S.P, this is now biggest hurdle, thank you for your time.
1. Make the Non Default Groups responsive to Keypresses Client-side,
2. Make so Client can spawn troops by Keypress (Server already can),
3. Get the "Unit Commands / Orders" first page to show up properly (server and client side).
# Please forgive the various different codes for this, could not get any to work Client Side, all will work Server Side though.
# These will let Server command Non Default Groups no problem.
