Question to Shogun or Mike regarding -ai parameter

[player1]

Here is a replay from Shogun at TWC:

@Player 1
Just asked around and the two console commands you need are halt_ai and run_ai, which do exactly what the names suggest on the campaign map screen. You open the console by hitting the ~ key during play. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, it seems that this command is disabled in console, at least in 1.2
Not like it is first time, since some other commands can only be accessed by scripts and not console.

So, I'm again stucked...

The halt_ai command certainly works through a script because Myrddraal uses it in his Hot Seat mod. Don't know about the run_ai one though.

Unfortunately I can't seem to run any script (nor starting nor, "show me") when -ai is turned on.

[Epistolary Richard]

Hmmm... that's strange, not even a campaign script huh? They should be referenced automatically.

[player1]

I was wrong.
Campaign starting script works.
I just tested it with simple toggle_fow script.

And later I tried one with halt_ai at start and it didn't started autoai even with -ai enabled.


EDIT:
Although I'm not sure would script that lasts more then 1 turn would work. I think I had some problems with that.
My plan was to make script that would stop autorun after 10-20 turns and start it again after pressing end of turn.

If it could work, it could be great tool for moders.

[player1]

I succeeded in making small script to run AI for X turns (2 years in this case). After that game is stoped and can't be continued (since AI is disabled).

script 
	suspend_during_battle on
	while I_TurnNumber < 4
	end_while					
	console_command halt_ai
end_script

Does anyone still want me to try and add support to RomeSage for toggling the ai switch? I don't want to put in the effort if no one is going to use it
