Hi!

I downloaded the Mission Editor from the official site, but I'm having a major problem with it. More specifically, the enemy AI. I just can't get them to use their weapons, they just skip their rounds. I've tried every possible combination of IQ, ammo, mobile/immobile, etc and the ONLY weapon I've managed to make them use is the bazooka. I understand how to add the weapons to the worms, else they could not have used the bazooka in the first place... so it can't be that.

Any ideas why?

The AI in WWP can only use certain weapons. These are indicated in the editor by a red outline on the icon. I think the outline is on ones they CAN use, but it might be the other way around.

Thanks for the reply Andrew, but I've tried every AI supported weapon there is (red outline) to no avail.

You can only use one team colour if all team colours that come before it are also being used in that same mission. This occurs due to a glitch in the editor; weapon inventories are always being assigned in a set order, so in the case of any mission with two teams in it, it's always going to be the red and blue teams that get weapons, even if they're not present at all. The sequence goes like this:

1. Red
2. Blue
3. Green
4. Yellow
5. Magenta
6. Cyan

I hope this makes some sort of sense. :eek:

KRD, that makes perfect sense, and it seems to be working now!

Thank you for your help.

And if all else fails, upload one of those non-working missions and we can see if we can spot the problem.
