Revision as of 02:15, 15 April 2025

Flag:	AIBasePlanningSide
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Signed integers: All whole numbers from -2147483648 to 2147483647; in rare cases, only from -32768 to 32767.
Default:	–1
Applicable to:	TechnoTypes: AircraftTypes, BuildingTypes, InfantryTypes and VehicleTypes

AIBasePlanningSide must be set on all BuildingTypes for the AI to be able to use them correctly, only the Side it belongs to will build it.

In Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, every Side has its own version of a building, but due to the fact that every building has its Owner set to every House, and the AI tends to ignore Prerequisites values, it needs a simple method of controlling which faction builds which building.

Parameter	Side Selected
‐1	All sides
0	Allied/GDI
1	Soviet/NOD
2	YuriCountry (YR only)
3	Fourth Side (Requires engine extension)
...	Etc..

Notes

On non-building TechnoTypes, this tag only influences the Cameo Sorting order.

AIBasePlanningSide affects the Stolen Tech logic.

-In {{ra2}} and  {{yr}}, every [[side]] has its own version of a building, plus some special ones. Due to the wacky way the game is coded, however, many of them have their {{f|Owner|link}} set to everything, and the AI isn't particularly known for adhering the {{tt|[[Prerequisite]]s}}. This, of course, would lead to the AI building every building of every side, without any order, which is most certainly not desired. To prevent this, the coders introduced {{tt|AIBasePlanningSide}}.
-{{tt|AIBasePlanningSide}} assigns the building it is set on to one specific side's tech tree, which is then followed by the AI<!-- (in its ''base planning'' - get it?)-->.
