Hi Thomas, About writing maps, the instructions for multiplayer maps are at: http://jlpo.free.fr/soundrts/mapmaking.htm But the way to build single player maps is undocumented yet, because the language is not ready enough.
For example, today, a trigger to say that after 80 seconds the computer 1 must select 1 footman located in a2 and send it to a1 is: trigger computer1 (timer 80) (order (a2 1 footman) ((go a1)(go b1))) I am thinking about using a more flat notation: add trigger owner computer1 condition timer 80 action order (a2 1 footman) ((go a1)(go b1)) end But even in this case the order command may be too nested. Maybe I don't have the choice. Or maybe I would use the fact that more than one action would be allowed and that the orders would be added in the order queue: add trigger owner computer1 condition timer 80 action order (a2 1 footman) (go a1) action order (a2 1 footman) (go b1) end Not too bad. Maybe I can totally avoid parenthesis. After all not everything will be possible, but just enough to have interesting missions with a balance between specialization and flexibility: add trigger owner computer1 condition timer 80 action order 1 footman in a2 to go a1 action order 1 footman in a2 to go b1 end Hum, I don't know. Or maybe I should go to the opposite direction and use a LISP-like notation, like EMACS LISP, using even more parenthesis: (trigger computer1 (timer 80) (order (a2 1 footman) ( (go a1) (go b1) ) ) ) Not very easy to write. But after all I don't really need the order command with more than one command. Well... The problem is that I can't change easily the language when I have documented it. So I will wait until it is good enough.
