display message to show computer opponent race

[holyman2k]

Right now we can't change our own race or the computer's race, so when we start we have no idea what race we playing against, the the ai add a message to say what race i'm play against like
"ai 5.5 zerg"


helps a lot if you have a particular strategy against a race.

Where do you see that? I can't for the life of me find that text...

That isn't in the script. He is wanting it added. It would be fairly easy At the begining of each Race AI script you could add the following line.

Code Select Expand


TriggerDebugOutput(1, StringToText("One computer is an Protoss"), true);

Obioudly you would change the protoss to the race name of whatever race AI file you are putting this line into. Then whenever the computer fires up it's AI files then it would pop these messages one for each computer and then showing which race.
You could add this yourself or bug the developer.

I would recommend not adding it as you will not always know the race someone else is playing and you can practice scouting. If you still want to add it do what DKSlayer suggests.

put below code to function terraninit at terran.galaxy file.

Code Select Expand


DebugAI("Player "+IntToString(player)+" is "+PlayerRace(player));


and other races too.

It didn't work for me, but it could just be me failing (I would still not suggest it)
