Script command addpoints:

Me again

Some scenarios (eg sandbox) use a timed event command addpoints:value

I see no mention of it in the SDK documentation, or in commands.csv

What is its use? I don't understand why an AI commander's grade would be important.

Is used in attack\defence scenarios; it gives to the defender the amount of points given by the objective to the attacker, so if the attacker doesn't conquest the objective it going to lost because the defender will have more points at the end of scenario.

Thanks. Cool.
So it could be used to force a player to actually take the main objectives, and not just collect enough points by sitting on the easiest one to take?
A good feature that a scenario can actually have negative points if too passive.

[mitra76]

In attack\defense yes because the defender has not points from the objectives

[52ndOx]

Ah. So it's sandbox only and not useful in user scenario. :pinch:

[mitra76]

Can be used anywhere, but make no sense in contexts where the objectives are valid for both the side

Got it, thanks.

I saw another post about "negative objectives" and am starting to understand some possibilities.
