Hello and what should i say, thanks for looking into the thread. I need someone to make me an ai cause i cant make one but i have a map which needs a special ai.

To start things off, we take a look at the map we are gonna use, its a map with a normal ladder playstyle for the human players.

Secondly we take a look at the Computer camp, look at the picture i uploaded to see a computer base in the map.
The base does not have a goldmine since the ai will not be using any resources, it will spawn its units onto the beacon you can see on the picture.
As for its gameplay style, it uses Scouts to wander the map in look for hostilities, in our case the human players. when the scout finds a hostile enemy, it stands still for a few seconds to memorize the spot and then it rushes back to its respective camp to warn of the danger. if a scout detects a human player, that player has 2 choices, in which the first is to slay the scout to make sure the camp will not be aware quite yet of the players presence, although the computer base will send out a search party larger than the lone scout wandering the map, though this party looks for the missing scout. or the player can just let the scout run back to his camp but that will make that camp aware of the player presences and so they start summoning in groups of units to raid the enemy.
(each search party is bigger than the last to make delaying the detection harder and harder, and the search party is sent out shortly after the lone scout is killed).

For more information look to the document file i have uploaded along with the picture.
Thanks for reading and hope you can make this particular ai for me.
I would really apriciate it as the map is already finished, i just need this ai.

Oh, for any questions i'd be glad to take them =)
You can also add me to msn if you like for easier communication.

Partially yes, he has thought up a brilliant yet somewhat complicated idea for a custom Warcraft III Artificial Intelligence and needs help creating it. He wants someone with experience in triggering and AI to take up his idea and help him create this. I personally think this is a great idea but with a couple of flaws that I can see.

Wouldn't human players have some sort of advantage over the computer AI players?

  • They wouldn't have to scout and already know the enemy exists.
  • They would be able to counter threats immediately instead of having to notify the base.
  • They can skip things like search parties and just do an all-out attack on the enemy base.

This would be fun to watch two or more computer players go at it with this system, but I believe the human player has an unfair advantage against the AI.

My two cents,

The AI has an advantage incase you didnt know.
there will be aproximetly 10 computer players against 2 human players, as if that wasnt enough their units are creepbased so certain computer players have units stronger than the human players do.

Ah, I didn't realize this was a team-based AI. I was assuming this was more of a 1v1 or 2v2 etc type of game. Also, I think I would like to join this project. I have created a fairly complicated Hero AI in the past and I am always fascinated by artificial intelligence. Have you completed any part of the map yet, or are you just in the idea stage?

Deathknight is working on the ai as far as im informed, you could help out by making up various computer player races (You can pick any units, for example the hardest camp in my map is composed of Sea Giants). Ofc they just have to be written up, not actually put in an example map as long as i know which unit you are referring to.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
