| − | == Transport AI ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Transport AI involves 2 basic things:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Transports automatically pick up units from factories and drop them off at their waypoint (they follow factory orders until nearest non-move command).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''' Two queueable commands: _Embark_ and _Disembark_ - these commands appear on transportable land units and factories when you build your first air transport. '''Embark''' = wait for transport to pick me up. '''Disembark* = disembark from transport
| |

| − | === Possible uses ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Give bot factory waypoints through safe area next to the current battlefield.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Result: Units walk along these waypoints and if there are idle transports they will pick them up and transport them to their destination.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Give factory waypoint to ally's base entrance followed by patrol.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Result: Units walk there and if transport nearby it will pick it up, drop it off and the unit will start patrolling.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Give factory a move order near your base, _Embark_, then move to an impassable mountain.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Result: Units will emerge from factory and enter _Embark_ mode - they will stand there and wait for transport to get them to the mountain.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4. Select crawling bombs, click to move to enemy base then click _Embark_.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Result: Bombs will stop and wait for transports, transports will carry them to enemy base.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 5. Select Dantes, give them move commands across air safe areas, followed by disembark from behind the base spot and move to enemy base. Then click _Embark_.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Result: Dantes will stop and wait for transports. Transport will carry them along the waypoints to back of enemy base, unload them. From there Dantes will continue on foot.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Notes and details ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * In all of these cases transports return to the spot where they took unit using the same path.
| |
| − | * Transports might skip some units because it finds it useless to transport them. It takes several things into account - distance of transport from unit, planned unit path, unit speed, transport speed, transport land times, terrain height differences - all of this is used to estimate the "benefit" of transporting given unit with air transport. Benefit = number of seconds saved by using transporter. It only transports units if benefit is higher than 5 seconds and in order of benefit (slowest units will be transported first, fast units might be ignored completely). Exception to this is the _Embark_ command which serves as "priority" transport - units waiting with the _Embark_ command will be served first.
