The fix was already implemented, but not released as the mod isn't finished.
I've backported the fix in the current version, as well as viewtopic.php?f=50&t=6075

By the way your code is incorrect : I won't fix anything, and the beacon time will be incorrects too.
The correct code is to use the Team as index for the armySupport table, and use the team of the beacon to call the proper AI.

Reinforcement Mod Problems

2013-12-30T01:24:34+02:00

Okay, I've taken a look at the code and I've found some problems:

First, there is some kind of dis-connect between what the defense structures list shows and what shows up. I am Seraphim, on planet 122 I see 1 T1 PD for Seraphim and 2 T2 Pd for Seraphim. At ABOVE 50% influence, I *DEFEND* the attack (a few minutes ago) and this is the reinforcements list:

Code:: gwReinforcements = { transportedUnits = { { playerName = "Kathlyn Murders", delay = 4, unitNames = { "UEL0101", }, }, { playerName = "Kathlyn Murders", delay = 60, unitNames = { "UEL0103", "UEL0103", "UEL0103", "UEL0103", }, }, { playerName = "Jarvis Bielefield", delay = 56, unitNames = { "UEL0103", "UEL0103", "UEL0103", "UEL0103", }, }, }, initialStructure = { }, initialUnitWarp = { }, periodicUnitWarp = { }, builtByEngineerStructure = { }, }

As you can see, no initialStructures for me or anybody else. That's a problem.

Second, reinforcements don't show up in a lot of games so I looked at the code and I think I've determined why:

Code:: assignSupports = function() local ArmiesList = ScenarioInfo.ArmySetup for name,army in ScenarioInfo.ArmySetup do if army.ArmyIndex == 1 then factions[1] = army.Faction teams[1] = army.Team beaconTime[1] = 0 elseif army.ArmyIndex == 2 then factions[2] = army.Faction teams[2] = army.Team beaconTime[2] = 0 end end for name,army in ScenarioInfo.ArmySetup do if army.ArmyName == "SUPPORT_1" then army.Team = teams[1] army.Civilian = false army.ArmyColor = 1 army.PlayerColor= 1 army.Faction = factions[1] army.PlayerName="gw_support_1" armySupport[1] = army.ArmyName armySupportIndex[1] = army.ArmyIndex army.Support = true elseif army.ArmyName == "SUPPORT_2" then army.Team = teams[2] army.ArmyColor = 2 army.PlayerColor=2 army.Civilian = false army.Faction = factions[2] army.PlayerName="gw_support_2" army.Support = true armySupport[2] = army.ArmyName armySupportIndex[2] = army.ArmyIndex end end end

^^If there are more than 2 players in the game, all the players past the first two cannot get reinforcements because they has no support army assigned.

Look at the snippet below:

Code:: SpawnTransportedReinforcements = function(beacon, unitsToSpawn) WARN('Spawningtransported Reinforcements') local NearestOffMapLocation = beacon.NearestOffMapLocation local UnitsToTransport = {} UnitsToTransport[1] = {} UnitsToTransport[2] = {} UnitsToTransport[3] = {} local NumberOfTransportsNeeded = 0 #this spawns our units for index, unitBPid in unitsToSpawn do #WARN('spawning reinforcement unit bpid is ' .. repr(unitBPid)) #WARN('spawning beacon.ArmyName unit bpid is ' .. repr(beacon.ArmyIndex)) local newUnit = CreateUnitHPR(unitBPid, armySupport[beacon.ArmyIndex], NearestOffMapLocation[1], NearestOffMapLocation[2], NearestOffMapLocation[3],0,0,0) local TransportClass = newUnit:GetBlueprint().Transport.TransportClass table.insert(UnitsToTransport[TransportClass], newUnit) end

Specifically, the following line will error out and cause reinforcement spawning to fail for all armies past the first two. "local newUnit = CreateUnitHPR(unitBPid, armySupport[beacon.ArmyIndex], NearestOffMapLocation[1], NearestOffMapLocation[2], NearestOffMapLocation[3],0,0,0)"

I recommend the following adjustment to the assignSupports function:

Code:: assignSupports = function() local ArmiesList = ScenarioInfo.ArmySetup for name,army in ScenarioInfo.ArmySetup do if army.ArmyIndex == 1 then factions[1] = army.Faction teams[1] = army.Team beaconTime[1] = 0 elseif army.Team == teams[1] then factions[1] = army.Faction teams[1] = army.Team beaconTime[1] = 0 elseif not army.Team == team[1] then factions[2] = army.Faction teams[2] = army.Team beaconTime[2] = 0 end end for name,army in ScenarioInfo.ArmySetup do if army.ArmyName == "SUPPORT_1" then army.Team = teams[1] army.Civilian = false army.ArmyColor = 1 army.PlayerColor= 1 army.Faction = factions[1] army.PlayerName="gw_support_1" armySupport[1] = army.ArmyName armySupportIndex[1] = army.ArmyIndex army.Support = true elseif army.ArmyName == "SUPPORT_2" then army.Team = teams[2] army.ArmyColor = 2 army.PlayerColor=2 army.Civilian = false army.Faction = factions[2] army.PlayerName="gw_support_2" army.Support = true armySupport[2] = army.ArmyName armySupportIndex[2] = army.ArmyIndex end end end

This adjustment should assign Support 1 to the first player, and then based upon the first player's team, it will assign all subsequent players to Support 1 if they are the same team as the first player and to Support 2 if they aren't. In this way, you can get by with only 2 supports. BEARING THAT IN MIND THIS WILL CAUSE ERRORS IN BATTLES WITH THREE OR MORE TEAMS.
