Moogle's Ore Route Code

From OPU Wiki

A tutorial on makeing a very simple mineing Ai base that has cargotrucks routed

void MineRoute(int player, int x, int y, bool common)// x any y are the location of the command center{
	Unit cc, mine, smelt, ct1, ct2;

	MAP_RECT rectMineGrp(LOCATION(x-3, y-11), LOCATION(x+6, y+4)); 
       // the x-3 , y-11 and the x+6, y+4 can be swiched, meanign you can start ware you want
       // for this box
       // rectMineGrp tells the mining group ware you want the cargotrucks to be abble to 
       //go, its a constrainging box, the cargotrucks wont go outside it
       // be shure to make this has the mine and smelter inside it

        TethysGame::CreateUnit(cc, mapCommandCenter, LOCATION(x, y), player, mapNone, 0);

	// with out a active Command center, smelter or mine the cargotrucks will just    
        //sit around posibly pick up ore or move every once and a while

        TethysGame::CreateBeacon(mapMiningBeacon, x+5, y-3, !common, Bar3, 1 /*variant*/);
	TethysGame::CreateUnit(mine, mapCommonOreMine, LOCATION(x+5, y-3), player, mapNone, 0);
	
        // mapRareOreMine is for the enumerators only!!! will cause crash at load if used!!!
	
        if(common)// is the mine base a commonone or rare?
	{
	   TethysGame::CreateUnit(smelt, mapCommonOreSmelter, LOCATION(x, y-4), player, mapNone, 0);
        // it is a common mine base build a common smelter
	}
	else
	{
		TethysGame::CreateUnit(smelt, mapRareOreSmelter, LOCATION(x, y-4), player, mapNone, 0);
         // it is a rare mine base build a rare smelter
	}

	MiningGroup miningGrp = CreateMiningGroup(Player[player]);
	// create the mineuing group before you set it up or the game will crash

	miningGrp.Setup(mine, smelt, rectMineGrp);// do this after  the mine and smelter are built

	// mineing groups need cargo truck to be aded to work

        TethysGame::CreateUnit(ct1, mapCargoTruck, LOCATION(x,y-6), player, mapNone, 0);
	TethysGame::CreateUnit(ct2, mapCargoTruck, LOCATION(x,y-6), player, mapNone, 0);

	//they should be added after the group is created
	miningGrp.TakeUnit(ct1);
	miningGrp.TakeUnit(ct2);
}

To use this code on your map find a nice spot on the map you are useing then simply call

MineRoute(1,156,65,1);
