HowTo:Edit Missions:Python:Summary

Python Bindings

Edit Missions

Writing AddOn Adventures

---

• Missions must inherit from Director.Mission
• AI's must inherit from VS.PythonAI
• Missions must have an __init__ function with any number of arguments that calls Director.Mission.__init__ (self); to trigger the C++ binding
• AI's must have an init(self, un) function with those exact 2 arguments... the second one is the parent Unit. I don't recommend you save the unit currently--I'm not sure if it will garbage collect the unit in that case... just call the self.GetParent() function as the AI script.
• Both AI's and Missions may have an Execute(self) function that does somethign each frame depending on the disired result.
• Missions may have a Pickle and Unpickle function in order to save and load the state of a campaign (this can be incredibly complex!)
