So I spent about 8 hours designing an island in sketchup. Imported it into GameGuru no problem but, the AI soldiers do not act normally while on it. You can see they are at alert status but, they shoot very little and take maybe 1-2 steps; mostly they just stand still. I also made a small town with roads in sketchup and they, "refuse" to walk on them, again they just kind of stand there. Does anyone know why this is and if there's a workaround? They DO appear to be ON the mesh so it's not like they are, "stuck" in it. Any help is appreciated because I'm building about 90% of my levels in Sketchup, not just buildings but terrain, roads, etc. Thanks!

They won't work on it. AI only works on terrain, or on objects that are no higher than knee high above the terrain.

There will be an AI update (hopefully once the current EBE feature is finished) sometime soon.

You can try locking the object down and then sculpting the land around and under it so it's as close as possible, but that's a long laborious process.

I was thinking the same thing, about bringing up the terrain. That still wouldn't work for things like towers but it IS a partial solution. For example, my town area is pretty flat, the airport is flat .. could work there as long as they don't have to go up and down hills.

Yes towers and internal upper floors on buildings would be a problem ...But an AI overhaul is expected after the EBE so its not a waste of time creating for when we can

Well this island I'm doing is just the first level of what I hope to be around 8-10 levels and that is just, "episode 1" of a 4 part series (got a storyline already worked up) so, think I'll be plenty busy designing the levels until the update comes!
