> Hi there,
> I am trying(!) to make a mission for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (well, the original C&C, wheather you accept the subtitle or not).
> Anyway, the map is done, as is the mission design. I've got the win/lose/production triggers going fine.
> The problem: when I ask the computer to build a teamtype, it is extremely unreliable. It has enough power, and money, but often produces several extra teams, or none at all. And most of the time, they refuse to follow the orders defined for them in the teamtype setting. I know this is somewhat of a general problem, so...
> I decided to forgoe the Create Team option, and opt for Reinforce. which I know is generally more reliable. But now I also have problems with this! I have set the reinforcement side for BadGuy to West, and blocked off all land on that with water, except a couple of tiles, to give room for the reinforcements to enter the map. Then I shrunk the map, so this is off-screen. When I ask the computer to send in reinforcements of a specified teamtype fromm the appropriate action (eg. celltrigger, or # buildings destroyed), it sends the team, but multiple copies of it. When I tried it before blocking the edge with water, a unit appeared from every cell, to flood the map. Now after I have blocked most of the edge, I stil lget at least 8, usually about 16-20, units, instead of the 1 that is asked for.
> I have tried altering the teamtype compostion, the teamtype settings (auto-create, force-create, max. number etc), and the triger condition, but I cant get rid of the problem.
> Please, can someone help, before i have to give up on my dream...

You might want to look at an existing map that uses these triggers. Delete as much of the INI as possible and look at what's left, which should contain the trigger you need.
