Technical issues - about modifying AI

Me again. I'm now having trouble with modifying AI...mainly about the rule of AI purchasing tier buildings.
For example, in ModernCombat, how could I make AI of PLA build T1, T2 and T3 in order (never build T3 unless T2 is complete) and ignore (never build) T4?
I tried to modify rules_tech_purchase.ai, but even slightly modify would cause fatal AI error. Are there any tutorial about this? (I've learned about C and Pascal before, so programming is not a problem)

I'm not sure there's anyone on the team who can actually help you. We haven't had a proper AI guy since before release.

OK I see...so you guys are simply modifying it to fit new units and more?
BTW, the AI seems like written by Pascal/Delphi...already get AI of tiers done, but still don't understand the whole structure of the AI.

Pretty much.

I modified Relic's AI coding and got some help from some AI coders to actually get an AI ingame. But honestly it is not ideal. For the building of tiers you should look in:
ModernCombat\Data\ai\rules_tech_purchase.ai
and put some variables that are not activated until a single T2 building is complete or something along those lines.

Thank you DB. I modified the condition and demanding value, and the AI looks right now.
You are the Jesus of all CoH modder

BTW, does it involves re-animation works when resizing the model, like you've done to PLA T3 and T4 building in 1.012?

Glad to see I was wrong.

all resizing requires re-animation.
