    Inability to add AI

    I've been using the map editor a lot recently. But i've now encountered a strange "game breaking" bug of sorts, in the map editor/Arcade. Which concerns a complete inability to add any and all AI in the map editor through the "Add AI" tab, regardless of game mode and the state of whatever map i'm editing.

    I specifically cannot open the different categories in the drop down menu for AI. However all other drop down menus for each respective tab works as usual.
    This issue came up suddenly when i was in the end stages of creating a "journey" map and has since carried over into whatever i'm doing in the arcade editor.
    So, it only concerns the AI tab.


    So far, i've been trying it on empty maps, i've tried to access the "Add AI" tab by finding object in hierarchy. I've verified game files. I've also reinstalled the game. But it is still present. No assisstance from ubi support yet, which is super convenient considering how much i paid for their game.

    Has anyone experienced this? I might have accidentally tapped some option which hides the AI or something. Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    It's hard to tell by your description but I'm thinking it is covered up by one of the other windows. You can try to "Reset Layout" under the "View" tab or resize the windows or move them. Or... use the scrollbar on the far right.

    Thanks for assisting me. Initially i was thinking along the same lines. But the reset layout didn't fix it. And the scrollbar.. Ehm, yes i've tried that too.

    It just won't let me open the various categories under the AI tab. All other ones a functional though.
    Do you know of any other options in the arcada settings that might create conflicts?.. or something lol.

    And also, since reset, reinstalling and verifying game files didn't fix it. That implies something else to me. But i've no clue what..

    I had this issue a while ago, can't remember what I did to solve it,

    I'd suggest changing the maps game mode to MP, then changing it back, not sure if this works though.

    It's a UI glitch, try undocking the tab, closing it and then resetting the layout.

    I'll try to look into it tomorrow and see if I can find out what it was that fixed it

    Can you make a video of the issue? First click View-->"reset layout", then click the Maximize button in the top right to maximize the editor. Press WindowsKey+G to open the Game Tab & start a recording.

    I made a video about a similar thing on the Objects tool, maybe it helps:
