Hi everybody well I'm trying to make new tank AI's for this upcoming Survivor that we are making. I thought I knew how to make new tankAIs but there was so many bugs. The bugs were that the new AI woudn't move, shoot, or respwan.

Ok here is my specs:

TankDb.cs -

So where is the problem here? Sorry for the really huge post, but I bolded the main points.

Thanks for any help.

One problem that might make it difficult... You are modifying the same functions over and over
(Datablock TankData(LightTank : MediumTank) is modified 4 times)
and the last ones are the original ai tanks so your new ones dont move...

So do you know anyway you can say this to me by step-by-step? :P

-CUC-

EDIT: Oh so is it like this? I have to re-name it something else?

Datablock TankData(AvengerLightTank : AvengerMediumTank)? Am I going in the right direction?

Oh and also what do you mean here:

And the last ones are the original ai tanks so your new ones dont move...

What last ones? :P

The last ones declared that have the original ai specs (the ones you didnt bold?)

And it should look like this

TankData(AvengerLightTank : MediumTank)
