Hey everyone, I've player COH for years and have done some map editing. I got an assignment in one of my game design classes in where we are to script something in an editor of our choice and i chose COH. I was wondering how you script events such as enemies spawning in a certain area and moving to another area etc.

Thanks!

its SCAR code btw

You need to do it through SCAR coding and pack it up with the map .sga.

I have been able to spawn units and play around with them, or do things like drop an offmap after a set time.

Here's where you need to go. RN.com has alot of tutorials.\

Here is also a list of SCAR functions that you will need to learn to make them work.

Aside from that I dont think anyone here can help you (even me, it was so long ago, i couldnt tell you what to do)

Maybe your first step is to dismantle one of CoH's single player missions and see how they work.

Use AoE2 editor. Simple and a classic.
