Someone suggests that commenting out a certain set of lines will fix the "business owners not working in AI mode" thing. And that person also suggests that these lines were probably in to resolve another issue.
Is this true? What issue does this resolve?
Just wondering if it's truly a bug or something we don't need to go messing with.
It's no bug that business owners can't be controlled by AI anymore. This has been deactivated by those few lines because it was very buggy and let to some strange behaviour (the mainchar was collecting resources in other towns, for example).
KK, thanks for the feedback.
I think I was confusing it w/ the "AI managed buildings, owner stops working" thing, and so was wondering why I thought I'd seen it reported as a bug.

Which may or may not be related.
:idea: If the problem is that owners are going outside the town to collect resources, then perhaps that problem could be fixed instead of just stopping them from producing anything?
For instance, I have tried adding the following to the top of the Run procedure in ms_022_Gather.lua:
if IsDynastySim("Owner") then
if AliasExists("Destination") and IsType("Destination", "GuildResource") then
--the owner can collect from the guild house
elseif BuildingGetAISetting("WorkBuilding", "Produce_Selection") <=0 then
--the owner can collect manually
else
--the owner can't collect
Sleep(5)
return false
end
endThe effect of this is that:
If owners are at their business and Automatic production is set, and they try to gather resources, they will not go anywhere or do anything and will still gain experience points while they wait for some production that they can do.
This is just an example of the kind of solution you could consider. Perhaps it is not ideal but it works for me. :great:
Note that this should also fix http://forum.runeforge-game-st…om/project.php?issueid=65.
I tried checking the SettlementID of the resource to see if it was the same as the SettlementID of the work place but unfortunately all herbs seem to have a SettlementID of -1 (which I assume means Map).
I also tried limiting the distance an owner can travel to gather resources by adding a max distance constant to GameConstants.dbt and adding the following to gather.lua:
if LocCount>0 then
for trys=0,10 do
local LocatorName = LocatorArray[ Rand(LocCount) ]
GetLocatorByName(ResourceAlias, LocatorName, "WorkPosition")
[COLOR=SeaGreen]local Distance = GetDistance("WorkBuilding","WorkPosition")
if IsDynastySim("Owner") and Distance>"GL_OWNER_MAX_GATHER_DISTANCE" then
-- try again
else[/COLOR]
Success = f_BeginUseLocator("Owner", "WorkPosition", GL_STANCE_STAND, true, GL_MOVESPEED_RUN)
if Success then
break
end
[COLOR=SeaGreen] end[/COLOR]
end
endI prefer the first 'solution' as it doesn't depend on the map layout.

scrums, i did your fix and my main characters still stop working.
did this to ProduceGoods.lua :
-- special case for dynasty sims
-- if IsDynastySim("Owner") and AliasExists("Destination") then
-- if IsType("Destination", "Building") then
-- CopyAlias("Destination", "WorkBuilding")
-- RemoveAlias("Destination")
-- end
-- local ItemID = SimGetProduceItemID("")
-- if ItemGetType(ItemID )~=ITEM_TYPE_GATHERING then
-- if GetInsideBuildingID("")~=GetID("WorkBuilding") then
-- if not f_MoveTo("", "WorkBuilding", GL_MOVESPEED_RUN) then
-- return
-- end
-- end
-- end
-- end
