LOUD should work with any map that has a set of regular markers. Without looking at your map, this sounds as if you don't have any amphibious markers. Engineers, in particular, rely upon the amphibious markers to do what they need to do.

We also recently discovered, and patched this week, a bug that caused similar behavior on maps where player starts were random. If you can get the map to me, I'm happy to have a look at it.

[quote="Sprouto"]When you say 'unsupported by LOUD' - are you getting some kind of error message ?[/quote
@Sprouto
no error is reported.

this map was moved automaticly to the folder named 'maps.unsupported' after I switched configuration . It's ture that I can still play it in LOUD mode,but the AIs didn't work well. They just built one or two factories and several power generators, then turned to produce a huge army but never orgnize an attack . they would rather get more and more mass extractors than establish another base in one of the expansion areas. they seemed unwilling to build a navy factory though the 'navy area ' marker was just nearby.

Does it mean the markers added by the original map-editor can't work in LOUD？ In other words, does it mean only the maps you have edited can be supported well?

@Sprouto

Hello!Sprouto:

I have placed mass of AI markers on my map, but it is still unsupported by LOUD. Do you know how to solve this problem?

You're not passing it's army index - but the entire brain that it belongs to. Try vizArmy[1]:GetAIBrain():GetArmyIndex()

Thanks, sprouto. Then anonther error occurs. I can't understand it

The error occurs because you're calling GetArmyIndex with a nil;

This means that vizArmy is nil, which means your code is not finding any units in the area you specified. Even worse, if it did find multiple units in the area, you would likely get a similar error, since GetArmyIndex will only function on a single entity.

Yes, you are right. there's no unit in this area at the begginning of the game. So I sent some mobile units to get there later, but the visible area wasn't activated still.

Thank you! Here's my code, I am not sure if it is necessary to forkthread this funciton.

local ScenarioUtils = import('/lua/sim/ScenarioUtilities.lua')
local TriggerFile = import('scenariotriggers.lua')
local ScenarioUtils = import('/lua/sim/ScenarioUtilities.lua')
local UnitUpgradeTemplates = import('/lua/upgradeTemplates.lua').UnitUpgradeTemplates
local ScenarioPlatoonAI = import('/lua/ScenarioPlatoonAI.lua')
local VizMarker = import('/lua/sim/VizMarker.lua').VizMarker
local SimCamera = import('/lua/SimCamera.lua').SimCamera
local Cinematics = import('/lua/cinematics.lua')
local SimUIVars = import('/lua/sim/SimUIState.lua')

function OnPopulate()
ScenarioUtils.InitializeArmies()
ForkThread(CreateVisibleAreaLocation)
end
local vizLocation
local vizArmy
local vizRadius
local vizLifetime
local X
local Z
local Radius
local LifeTime
local Army
function CreateVisibleAreaLocation(vizRadius, vizLocation, vizLifetime, vizArmy)
if type(vizLocation) == 'string' then
vizLocation = ScenarioUtils.MarkerToPosition(vizLocation)
vizArmy = GetUnitsInRect( Rect(vizLocation[1]-5, vizLocation[3]-5, vizLocation[1]+5, vizLocation[3]+5) )
vizRadius = 20
vizLifetime = 0
end
local spec = {
X = vizLocation[1],
Z = vizLocation[3],
Radius = vizRadius,
LifeTime = vizLifetime,
Army = vizArmy:GetArmyIndex(),
}
local vizEntity = VizMarker(spec)

return vizEntity
end
function OnStart(self)
end

if I forkthread it, an error will occur

For example, if my army enter the central area of an island, the whole lands on this island will be visible. How to make it real?
