ai only using console command

[CovenantKillerJ]

I want to use the console to enable ai for myself to watch it play, but without going into observer mode as I still want to build units whilst its playing. Anyone got a command for this?

You can use the development panel (<alt>+<d>) to switch to an AI player, but the current AI doesn't expect it when units are created not by themselves.

@Freagarach I tried it - I couldn't play co-op with AI. The button "control units" is inactive

Did you enable cheats?

Cheers guys 

Edit: Yeah, control units doesn't work with cheats on

Weird. I suppose you can also use the change perspective option?

[CovenantKillerJ]

Yeah, that's what i've been doing pretty much, thanks for the help anyway!

In the development menu, you need to tick the option called "Change perspective" (in English) right below the "Control all units". Then, you need to actually change the perspective from "Observer" to the player you want to control, at the top of the screen, left to the speed button. You don't have to tick the "Controll all units" button anymore then.
