Now that you mention it, having the player control the unit might end up being
what I do anyway. As it doesn't make sense for you to have to heal/repair
something to leave the area. Also, I'm planning on making some of the areas in
that map a little more platform based. And I can tell you from experience the
AI doesn't handle that very well. Thanks for all of your help guys. It's very
much appreciated.

Hi,
I would try gving the ai unit a skill that "heals" astructure that is
directly behind the safe zone. Set the skill to a range of 1 and the ai unit
should start for that structure.
I know this works, I have tested this kind of thing lots of times.
I hope that made sense...if I didn’t explain it well I can try again.

Subject: [ian-reeds-games] question about AI toggle and escape conditions
hay all
Just out of curiosity, if I have a map with the victory conditions set to
escape=, and the unit that must escape is an AI controlled unit with no
skills other then the movement skills of course, will the AI be smart enough
to know that particular unit needs to get to the escape zone in question?
The particular reason I ask is because in one of my maps in my angel wars
series, you, the angel in training, are escorting a wounded and unconscious
angel out of a demonic stronghold. Unfortunately, you freeing her cause more
then a few sets of demonic eyes to look your way.
You have a party member, who I want the player to be in control of, and the
normal person you play as, who has his hands tied with carrying the wounded
angel. I figure it would be easier for the player if they just worried about
keeping the area clear and let the AI worry about moving the unit carrying
the wounded body, as he won't have any skills anyway.
But if the AI won't recognize a unit it is controlling needs to get to the
escape zone, then I'll just have it at the default behavior and the player
will have to control both.
Thanks in advance for any answers to this question.
